I had the same problem 3 years ago when I took over the S.Korea section. In any event, I don't see the team doing any better than the previous tournament--the fuss over football in Korea is long gone for the domestic league, and the overall mediocrity of the national team has sort of tried the patience of the masses since 2002. If they get a weak group, they've got a chance at making it into the round of 16, but I wouldn't bet on it. Good luck on the blog; as the WC approaches, be prepared for a plethora of nasty posters.
