South Korea vs Greece

An enjoyable lunch-time romp that I watched after an arduous 45 minutes in the garden trimming the hedge. South Korea were fluid and adventurous, and fantastic on the break, when four or five come charging through on the angle. They did well enough overall to earn a Liquid Football tag. The lad from Bolton was decent on the wing, and the Celtic midfielder Kim Song Yeung (or something) was solid.

Greece on the other hand were royally shit, and deservedly kept up their record of being the World Cup's worst ever team. Their entire approach (diagonal ball to Charisteas on the back stick) was incredibly dull. And yes, I did enjoy their win at Euro 2004, as they upset one side after another. But that was because there's nothing wrong with a shit team managing to scrap it's way against better teams. When you are the better team (and if you have Euro Championship medals in your locker, you should be), you need to offer something. Greece were terrible, and I hope they get further stuffings from Nigeria and the Argies.
