some sharp defending by Korea

anyone know for how many years has their coach, Guus Hiddink (very sorry, i know that’s the wrong spelling) been with them ?

Yes good defending by Korea but they need to do more in offensive play otherwise they’ll be totally inferior in penality shootings.

Hmmm I think he is coach since 2000

Wow.. Korea could have scored at the beginning minutes, but Kahn made a wonderful hand to the ball.

If only Neuville was a little taller, I think a header would have gone in.

Interesting to note, that the refereeing is going really well. He even caught Klose diving, and warned him.

Okay its over Germany will win with a very very lucky goal. But then is this something new???!

Germany 1 Korea 0

Germany are through. Korea can take pride in their performance in the tournament. Koreans had their chances but could not convert them. Well played Germany.

just a few minutes after i posted Korea was showing good defending, Germany scored its goal:-( i think i jinxed them. Germany, Brazil, Turkey...no Asian country & worst of all, no African representation. One of the biggest remaining upsets in this WC is to have Turkey defeat Brazil... chances of that are rather slim, even though Ronaldinho (i think) will have to miss that match.

errm, why wouldn't you want to have an African country win the WC?
i suppose this is a matter of personal opinion; personally i would have loved to see a country like Senegal take the WC but everyone has their own personal opinions.

Oh these lucky Germans! The won again!

http://www3.pak.org/gupshup/smilies/crying.gif

Ali, don’t you think Turkey could beat the hell out of Germany? I’m pretty confident they can, so I hope they’ll advance to the final tomorrow.

Probably because I have nothing to do with Africa, or any of the Asian teams. I support England, and that's about it.

Umer no, I dont think so. Turkey is not a bad side but when it comes to the final finish they have poor quality and since you need more than just casual offensive shots to beat a keeper like Oliver Kahn I cant think of Turkey becoming WC then, when…

There is no luck friends, Germans won because they were better than Korea, eventhough they were my favitrotes, even I didn't think they could beat the homeside.
I guess it should shut up those screaming chinks once and for all.
Germany vs Brazil should an entertainment to watch, there is no way in the world they can beat Brazil unless they strike more often like the game against Saudis but then again there is a big difference.
Brazil should have a hard time against the Turks, looking at the last match which was preety good and tight.


So its germany vs turkey now? For the finals?

well, by the looks of it, it might conclude in the following way:

Final: Germany vs Turkey

winner: Germany

3rd place: Brazil vs Korea

winner: Korea
