MONCTON Nike Air Force 1 Basse Nere , Canada, June 9 (Xinhua) -- France kept their unbeaten run against England on the international level as they won 1-0 on Tuesday in a Group F match of the 2015 Canada Womens' World Cup here.
Eugenie Le Sommer scored the only goal as she blasted a powerful 30-meter right-foot at the top of the penalty area on the 29th minute.
The game was not that close as the score shows as the French dominated most of the time, but did not create many chances due to the physical advantage of the English team and the bad weather.
"The condition of the game was difficult and we had to try to match England physically, but it's important to win the first game," Sommer talked about the constant rain and wind that severely affected the game.
Focusing on defence Nike Air Force 1 Basse Bianche , England did good job by intersecting delicate passes of France, and only let go one goal when their opponents kept the ball in the front half almost all the time.
On the attacking end, England failed to produce a real threat, which was not enough for them to pull down the first win in over four decades.
According to FIFA, France never lost to England since 1974 Nike Air Force 1 Alte Scontate , including recent wins in the quarter-final in Germany 2011 and in the group stage in Euro 2013.
"We tried to find technical control of the game. It's an important win with no cards and no injuries," French head coach Philippe Bergeroo said.
Weather forecast said heavy rain is expected in the following game between Colombia and Mexico.
SEOUL, July 29 (Xinhua) -- South Korean President Moon Jae-in on Saturday ordered his aides to consult with U.S. counterparts about the deployment of four more mobile launchers of the U.S. Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) after the Democratic People's Republic of Korea's (DPRK) test-launch of a ballistic missile.
The DPRK test-fired an unidentified missile, which the country described as an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) called Hwasong-14, at 11:41 p.m. (1441 GMT) Friday from Jagang province Nike Air Force 1 Basse Scontate , the central northernmost part of the DPRK, according to South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS).
The ballistic missile of an intercontinental range flew about 1,000 km and was lofted as high as around 3,700 km. It was an advanced Hwasong-14, which traveled 933 km at a maximum altitude of 2 Nike Air Force 1 Uomo Scontate ,802 km at the July 4 launch.
President Moon convened the national security council (NSC) meeting at the presidential Blue House right after the DPRK's missile launch was reported to him.
Attending the meeting were ministers of defense, foreign affairs and unification as well as presidential chief of staff, top presidential security advisor and intelligence agency chief.
During the meeting, Moon instructed his aides to consult with the U.S. side on strengthening South Korea-U.S. defense capability and reliable expanded deterrence capability, including the early installation of the remaining THAAD launchers Scarpe Nike Air Force 1 Scontate , senior presidential press secretary Yoon Young-chan said.
On April 26, two mobile launchers and other elements of the U.S. missile shield were transported in the middle of night to the former golf course in Seongju county, North Gyeongsang province.
One THAAD battery, which Seoul and Washington decided in July last year to deploy in southeast South Korea, is composed of six mobile launchers Nike Air Force 1 High Scontate , 48 interceptors, the ANTPY-2 radar and the fire and control unit.
Four THAAD mobile launchers were reportedly delivered to a U.S. military base near the THAAD site.
Chung Eui-yong, the top security adviser to President Moon, held a telephone conversation with his U.S. counterpart H.R. McMaster to discuss the early deployment of THAAD launchers and the mobilization of U.S. strategic military assets to South Korea.
A senior presidential official, who declined to be identified Nike Air Force 1 Mid Scontate , told reporters that additional THAAD launchers would be "temporarily" deployed, saying the "general" environmental impact assessment would be conducted as planned.
The defense ministry announced its official plan Friday to conduct the general green audit on the THAAD site that was expected to take at least 12 months.
The ministry forecast the period could be shortened as a small-size green audit was already completed.
The presidential official said the final decision on whether to deploy the U.S. missile defense system in South Korea would be decided upon around the time when the green audit is completed.
South Korean Defense Minister Song Young-moo held an emergency press conference, saying the governments of South Korea and the United States will mobilize strategic military assets to sternly respond to the DPRK provocation of missile launch.
Song said the South Korean military will rapidly consult with the U.S. side to temporarily deploy additional THAAD launchers for the U.S. Forces Korea (USFK), vowing to build South Korea's own defense capability against the DPRK's nuclear and missile threats at an earliest possible date.
The minister noted that the DPRK's ballistic missile launch was in a clear violation of UN Security Council resolutions and posed threat to security on the Korean Peninsula and peace in the world.
Meanwhile, the South Korean president ordered a show of force through the joint U.S.-South Korea missile-firing drills in response to Pyongyang's missile-launch provocation.
Earlier in the morning Nike Air Force 1 Low Scontate , the combined forces of South Korea and the United States staged the live-fire missile exercise along the east coast, mobilizing the South Korean military's Hyunmoo-II ballistic missiles and eight U.S. Army's ATACMS surface-to-surface missiles.
