Argentina v South Korea

[Rook]

Those 2 goals are a disaster for SK. Now Nigeria is level on goal difference with a chance to go ahead against Eurotrash.

Gonzalo Higuain now leads for the Golden Boot with 3

This is really a disaster for SK. Instead of only of having to draw Nigeria they will most likely have to beat them.

Jesus, I'm praying for anything from Greece now.

That whole match hinged on the one on one. Why oh why can't he use his right foot.

It's simple now. Beat Nigeria and Korea are through.

Its sad goal difference is what kills play in the group stages. Attacking teams get punished for giving it a go and opening up against good teams. That's why even when teams were down 1-0 late they didn't try to press the action. If there is a tie between 2 teams it should go to head to head 1st and goals scored 2nd.

 

[teppic]

Yes, even at 2-1 Korea were in great shape to go through, but as they were chasing their 2nd goal they were punished.

It makes you understand why every team is delighted with a defensive performance at this stage but it's anti football to play too defensively.

You have to love the South Koreans though.. Ji sung Park with a genuine penalty argument in the box, No appeal from the Koreans, and Park did'nt pretend as if he was shot with a pump action shotgun.. Classy group

No contest. SK are not the worst team in this tournament, but Argentina are the best going forward. They will take some stopping. Messi hasn't even found his scoring boots yet.
