And you're talking nonsense, Lira. In terms of talent, Argentina are massively superior to South Korea, and even under that clown Maradona they should be superior. |
Watching South Korea play is way more entertaining than watching Argentina (unless they're getting knocked out of the tournament or something like that). They're the FUTURE!
Also, that's not nonsense: that's called being biased. I'm South American and a Portuguese speaking one at that! :mad: :D |

Easy group for England. I'm just worried about meeting Germany in the second round.

talent can only get you so far, if teamwork and work ethic isn't there
holland and spain on paper have wicked players, but only now they realized that players need to work as a team if they are to win something
say what you will about Koreans, but they will chase after the ball like IGK over a teen girl for full 90 mins.
North Korea is like a big question mark. though what I saw of NK at U20 world cup few years ago, a lot of hard work and playing in a good system. doubt they'll score many goals, but they will be solid defensively. i predict something like Asian version of Greece |

| The Argentina of 2005-2007 played the best football I've ever seen. |

Precisely. It's like the whole team is on crack... and still organised!
In all honesty, I just want to see more strong teams outside Europe/South America. South Korea is by far the most promising squad in Asia, being the only (somewhat) successful non-traditional country in this World Cup. I think it'd be awesome if Australia, New Zealand, North Korea, Japan, Argelia, Cameroon, South Africa, Nigeria, or Cote D'Ivoire reached the finals as well... the finals are always appallingly European (apart from 2002), with the occasional country from Latin America breaking in. |
