The Reds face the Sparrowhawks, or if you prefer, Les Eperviers.
Korea (South version) has been Asia's most popular representative in the World Cup. This is their seventh trip to the World Cup. But it wasn't until they co-hosted the tournament in 2002 that the Koreans ever won a match, making it all the way to the semifinals last year before losing to Germany.
The Guardian has a sharp wry chap liveblogging the matches. Here's Togo/Korea.
Sample: "52 mins: South Korea 1-1 Togo The Koreans administer the maximum punishment: Chun-Soo, whose corners have been abysmal, bends a beautiful free-kick over the wall and into the net. "That's a really, really good goal," exclaims the Beeb's inspired comentator."
Very credible performances for both. Too bad Togo had to contend with the coaching mess. Even a man down, they still looked dangerous moving forward. Korea's coach was fired midway through WC98 and then went on to salvage a point against Belgium, so the influence of coaches may be overrated.
Korea can be happy about finally winning a WC match outside of Asia. Two beautiful strikes.
