tcoleman1 Posted June 12, 2010 Author Share Posted June 12, 2010 Greece are notoriously boring and don't score too many but as I have read somewhere the high tempo South Korea play at should be quite good to watch. They have some decent players, Chu-Young, Ji-Sung and the guy for Bolton Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julije Cezar Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 Otto is a smart one. He will play on counter and try to get one goal. We can suppose that the Koreans will blow up, and that could be the end for them in the match. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ham_aka_stam Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 I want South Korea to win this. Park Chu-Young was immense on PES7 (I think), Park Ji Sung is an absolute hero too. One thing neither of these teams will lack is work ethic, but I just see the Koreans having that little bit extra. 1-0 or 2-1. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tcoleman1 Posted June 12, 2010 Author Share Posted June 12, 2010 Quite surprised there has been no dog related jokes I didn't know whether Julije Cezar's blow up comment was something about them trying to hard or a North Korea joke about South Korea Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

5iver Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 this match has 1-0/0-1 written all over it, Yep, can't help but agree!! Good decision by Rehhagel to leave Liverpool's Kyrgiakos on the bench, as though he would be a deadly threat from set-pieces, he i too slow to match the hard-working, fast style of the Koreans! Vyntra and Avraam Papadopoulos makes sense as the centre-back duo, but wuld have to agree with the previous poster, they are both very error-prone, but they are fast, athletic players, who can hopefully match up to the Koreans well. I would have liked to see Torosidis playing in midfield, since our midfield trio of Tziolis, Katsouranis and Karagounis is a bit slow and lethargic (especially the first two, Karagounis mainly due to age), and am worried about them. Also, am interested to see if Seitaridis will show his "true" form in big matches, since he has barely played this season, but on the bright side for Greece, he is definitely the type of player who "chooses" his matches, in which he performs very well. Torosidis at left-back will be interesting, he has played there many times before for the national team, but am wondering if he will be able to be an attacking threa at all! My prediction: Otto will try to keep it scoreless, threaten from set-pieces, and if the game opens up a bit and the Koreans get tired, throw in Salpingidis and Ninis at some point in the 2nd half to try and go for the win. Most important part is to not concede in the first-half... If we play defensively that is not too bad, especially if we can keep it 0-0, we will frustrate the opponents, make them attack more and more, and that will give us more space in the counter-attack hopefully.

Razzler Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 Of course, this will be viewed as a bit of a nothing match by many on this sceptred isle. But let's consider this: how many World Cup semi-finals have any of our lot reached recently? How many European Championships have they won? Eh? Also, there's a real chance that the runnners-up in this group could make the quarters, given that the winners of Group A - South Africa, France, Uruguay or Mexico - won't be giving anybody nightmares. Much is to play for, and then some. This is on the build up to this game on the Guardian minute-by-minute. Really any need for the dig against fans in England if there aren't any 'real' football fans? Who is considering it a 'nothing match', loads of people looking forward to it.
