TEAMS: South Korea

With the impressive form that South Korea have shown in their warm-up matches, they will be confident of finally winning a World Cup Finals fixture. The current squad has now gone 7 games unbeaten and will be confident that a combination of good form and home support will see them achieve their goal. A certain amount of credit must go to their Dutch manager Guus Hiddink who has worked wonders since taking over the team. Whilst Portugal will be favourites in the group, the Koreans should not fear the USA or Poland and seriusly believe that they can qualify for the 2nd round. They have never had a better opportunity.
