Which AFC representative will shine in WC10 ?

[elnino99]

let's review the teams and their groups

South Korea-
Argentina
Nigeria
Greece

Australia-
Germany
Ghana
Serbia

Japan-
Netherlands
Cameroon
Denmark

North Korea-
Brazil
Ivory Coast
Portugal

========================================
my prediction for total points of each team:

S.Korea= 4 points
Australia= 1 point
Japan= 3 points
N.Korea= 1 point

only S.Korea advancing to the next round, and will have a shot @ Quarters considering they'll face a weakened France or Mexico side.

South Korea can do really well. A good team and a decent group.

My answer: SOUTH KOREA.

Prediction:
SK: 6 PTS
AUS: 4 PTS
NK:2 PTS
JAPAN: 1 PT

can mods please move the thread to Football forum?

no one discusses anything here....

South Korea without a shadow of a doubt. They have more depth and experience on the big stage.

[tashakor]

Despite their hard group I think Australia will do a fantastic job.

[HuSsAiN]

I think North Korea have an extreme uphill task, and will come unstuck in the group of death.

South Korea have a chance, but I'm not sure if any of them will make it through.

[KC McElroy]

I'm not sure how you figure North Korea will snatch a point. From which team????

[Kaveh Ahangar]

Asian teams traditionally do very poor in the WC. Australia will probably go the furthest, but then they can't really be considered an Asian team as such.

In the world cup 1966 in England N Koria scored 3 goals against Portugal in the first 20 mins of the game. Then Portugal brought in the leagendary Ussebio and he scored 5 goals all by himself to beat N Koria 5-3. That aside I believe if N Koria has a chance of getting any point at all it would be against Ivory Coast.

1966?!?!?

North Korea getting a point against Ivory Coast would be an upset

South Korea's group is hard whats all this noise about Australia's being harder.

I think if nigeria and greece show up to play south korea is effed

There will be nothing to embarrass no1 thinks AFC is that good anyways

[Siavash]

^ I believe N Koria can only hope to do their best and you never know a miracle could accur. that is why I mentioned 1966, because N. Koria believe it or not beat Italia 2-0 in that wc 1966. Those days only one team from Asia went to the WC and that year they called N koria the yellow tornado, due to their tremendous speed and stamina. I even heard that those days N Korian players were kept in a Garrison type camp to prepare for the WC.

none of the teams will advance from the group stage.
South Korea will get 1 point from greece.
Japan will get 1 point from denmark
Australia and NK will get 0 points

Actually this is a good prediction. I think Australia may steal a point though.

[Adesor Vafaseya]

I see all of 4 them in Semi finals

[elnino99]

I see South Korea getting a point from Argentina and beating Nigeria (awful team) ..against Greece it's 50/50

Australia will lose to Serbia and probably Germany, but will probably draw Ghana

Japan will surely lose to Netherlands, but they can easily match both Cameroon (another overrated team) and Denmark

N.Korea is very unpredictable...if it wasn't for CR, I would fancy them to get a draw against Portugal...but I can see them holding Ivory Coast
