Korea made the semi-finals in 1930?! That's news to me...

In any case, Go Korea!!

After seeing this picture, I have some motives to go with Korea

Swiss is a joke?? gimme a break.

Did you even follow them in the Euro 2000....? Did you follow them in the Qualification for the world-cup?? They're infact a well organized team that is able to give alot.

i think korea has a chanse in this one, france are the favorites and i think they will go through, its not that hard group for them. but swis and korea will fight for the second, swis and france already played in the qualification group, so france knows what to do, but they will underrate korea and could actually loose that game. and park is a really good player. has that fighting spirit.

 

[Stephan]

and too be honest trez-henry isnt that impresive imo as it was in 2000. atleast in q i wasnt that impressed when they played together. but they have enough quality to go through and now they have a better gk also then before and well defens is not bad either, if we forget zebina who probably wont play anyway,

sagnol--thuram--?-----gallas is pretty good imo. or will thuram play in wc? he retired but then came back. and what about zidane, he also retired and came back, are they bought gona be there?

Did you watch France-Switzerland in the qualifications??

Switzerland made French players look like idiots...

No, i didnt watch it. One match doesnt mean anything.. France was on a bad form that they forced Zidane, Thuram and co to come back..hell, they even struggled againt other small teams in the qualification.

 

[giovanotti]

France and S.Korea!

 

[Loppan]

France & Switzerland

 

[PhRoZeN]

Switzerland and Korea... dont laugh im serious.

 

[Maher]

France & Switzerland

France and Korea.

 

[holmiz]

France, Switzerland

 

[sateeh]

i say that the french would struggle a bit in the group but they will get the first spot.

2nd spot will go for the swiss , easily.. we wont see any heriocs from the koreans this time. It was a fluke last time

 

[denco]

Wonder what that ass Moreno is up to this time? I still cannot believe that Domenech thinks Boumsong is a better bet than Mexes. I would love to see a last hurrah from ZZ but unfortunately he is in too much of a decline to affect the wc . Too bad but i do hope he goes in a blaze of glory. I can just imagine a back line with Boumsong Silvestre and Thuram just making an almighty boob of most things, he should have called up Zebina to complete the quartet. What are the chances that Trez wil not score a single goal a la wc 2002 and ec 2004?
