No worry...my favourite team still on track..


 SOUTH Korea is the team that i followed since their debut in the World Cup. To make it simple and clear - it's my favourite team.
They stamped their class in South Africa with a convincing 2-0 win over Greece in their Group B opening match before going down 1-4 to star-studded Argentines in their second game today.
Although lost to the Argentines, South Korea’s World Cup remains on track.
Defender Cha Du Ri, who was dropped for the side that faced the South Americans due to tactical reasons, said that they still rated their chances.
Ahead of their final group game against Nigeria, the Asians have three points from their 2-0 victory against Greece.
 “It was clear to us from the beginning that the final game would be the decisive game therefore the match against Greece was the important one as it ensured that we still had a chance going into the last game.
 “We managed that and now we want to in our last game use our chance to go through,” the German-based player said.
 Cha said that it was not easy playing against a strong team like Argentina. “If you see what kind of strikers they have on the field, it is unbelievable. A three-goal scorer leaves the field and another world class player comes on.
  “However, I think we showed that they do have some problems in the back and we put them under some pressure and with a little bit of luck they can be beaten.”    He said that their game against Nigeria will be like a final for both sides. “I think both teams will start cautiously.
   “Our game is built on counter attacks, try to get the ball in the middle of the park and then fast breaks. The Nigerians are big and tall, but they have problems against smaller, faster players.”    South Korean captain Park Ji Sung said the side was not thinking about goal difference going into their final game. “We are thinking of winning the match.”    He said that although they had conceded two goals in the second half without reply, he felt they had played better after the break.
 “In the first half we could not show our quality but in the second half our players were more confident and we need to build on that.”
