South Korea is the most successful team in Asia who appeared in the World Cup tournament. Their opening match versus Greece, Saturday (12 / 6) will be the "initial evidence" whether they are ready again to provide four big surprises in this annual tournament, as he had done in 2002.
Meanwhile, as a dark horse, the Greeks can not be considered a small team. European Cup winners in 2004 were most likely will still carry the game in the style to survive during the World Cup took place. This strategy is believed to be able to reduce the threat of strong teams in South Africa.
In the last three meetings, South Korea can be said of Greece 1-0. One win and two draws results.
On August 11, 2004, South Korea won 2-2 draw in a match at the Olympics. Two years later, on January 21, 2006, a draw back occurs, only this time take place in a friendly match with the score 1-1. On February 6, 2007, Korea was finally able to achieve victory over hosts Greece 1-0 in a friendly.
Carousel layak underdog on paper to be able to beat Greece, namely the view some of the results of the last friendly. Despite losing two games last trial of Spain 2-0 (3 / 6) and Belarus 1-0 (30 / 5), South Korea won a three-game match victory in the previous trial. They won 2-0 over Japan (24 / 5), 2-0 over Ecuador (16 / 5), 2-0 over Ivory Coast (3 / 3), and 2-0 over Finland (18 / 1).
Meanwhile, the Greeks just picked a bad result at the three test matches this year. They lost 2-0 from Paraguay (2 / 6), draw 2-2 with North Korea (25 / 5), and the 2-0 defeat of Senegal (3 / 3).
Greek appearances in recent years is less convincing. If North Korea draw with Greece be able to resist, why not South Korea will achieve victory in this first game?
