Analysis:
Form:
Both teams are coming off of average form with Greece slightly at a disadvantage.
Key Men:
Georgos Karagounis number 10 will be in charge, as always of stimulating an often uninspiring Greek attack. He is also the archetypal big game competitor who knows that Korea is the most important match for the Greeks to win.
Park Ji-Sung number 7, the Manchester United midfielder must lead Korea to become the first asian team to do well outside of home soil.
Men to watch:
The giants of Korea defense, especially Sotrios Kyrgiakos number 16 should pose the physically smaller Koreans problems.
Park Chu Yung, number 10, is a real goalscorer, something Korea haven’t had for a while... what this guy when he gets into the penalty area.
Previous Matches:
These two countries not only have very distinct football cultures, they have never played each other.
Most likely scenario:
A 1-1 draw is the most likely scenario.
A slight surprise would be:
Either team wins.
A real upset would mean:
Either teams wins heavily
