ADELAIDE (Reuters) - South Korea coach Colin Bell tore into the country's football system, saying it was not preparing players well enough to compete on the biggest stage after a second straight defeat left them on the brink of a Women's World Cup exit on Sunday.

After losing to Colombia in the group opener, South Korea were upset 1-0 by debutants Morocco who are 55 places below them in the women's rankings.
