Hey, friendlies are played to iron out difficulties, a few clubs have been UP and DOWN; at least half I'd say, right off. Also, some coaches look at friendlies as extended training sessions and it was even said that in some friendlies, one doesn't want to show one's hand too much (sort of poker analogy) and as said elsewhere, Korea really does need most whatever advantages that might be out there. World Cup Bloggers also get off on some real tangents; How about this for Park Ji-Sung; "His father would trawl frog farms each fall to make a medicine that was thought to boost young boys' growth." http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20060602.wskore2/BNStory/Sports/OtherSports/ Does South Korea even at this late date (but they are in group G afterall), still have a friendly against Norway??

Korea underachieved against Norway and they underachieved greatly against Ghana. Korea must never loose the core values of their play, high pressure on the opponent ballholder, running more than the opponents and impeccable teamwork. Both the supporters and the players have get realistic with their expectations. 9 of 10 Koreans expect the team to advance to the 2nd stage. Impressive support but many supporters don't realise how difficult it is, I think.... The pre-conditions are different this time. No home ground, Korea carries high expectations and are well known by their oppononets, Korea has to defend their fourth place. On the plus side, Korea have better players, tecnically better, players with experience of playing in Europe, winning big games and carrying pressure. It's important for the world that both an asian team and an african team advance to at least the quarter finals. The Korean team has the quality to advance and it's time to let it show. Let this Ghana match be a WAKE UP CALL for Korea.

Korea's loss is their lack of home field advantage. It seems to me that Korea only plays well with a sea of red in the stands. Sorry guys. I believe that a big contributor to S.
