Korea Republic’s passionate supporters are no strangers to nail-biting tension. For these fans, known as the Red Devils, there are normally two certainties associated with their team's final group game at major competitions.

The first is that they will need to win their own last match to stay in contention. And the second? That other results will have to go their way. As a consequence, the build-up to such occasions sees the Korean press invariably devote copious column inches to the myriad possible outcomes, and leaves bamboozled fans reaching for their calculators.

France, however, are not opponents to be taken lightly, and very few impartial observers will be staking a fortune on Dick Advocaat’s charges picking up all three points against the European heavyweights. Korea Republic’s midfield dynamo Park Ji-Sung, of Manchester United, is fully aware of just how difficult it will be. “Every one of France’s players poses a threat," he said. "It’s not a question of just stopping star players like (Thierry) Henry – we have to contain the whole French team.â€

However, if Park and his team-mates are feeling the pressure, they are certainly not letting it show. Just take captain and goalkeeper Lee Woon-Jae's vow to the fans before setting off for Germany that the Warriors would “reach the Round of 16 with three group winsâ€.

this will be an intresting duel.. pick ur team ;)

i dont have much...The French dont score goals in world cup haha...

30 for draw....would have bet huge if I had the nickels
 
^^ seriously!! i was at deejay`s place and couldnt login to chk and i see that this bet is already closed?? sheesh .. still half an hour to go folks! not fair atall ya peeps!!
 
heh, knew this will be dangerous match. These koreans are damn persistant. France should have won as 1 goal was not allowed even when the ball passed the line, but take nothing away from the Koreans. They were outpowerd by tall france players, still they were full of energy for full 90 minutes.
Barthez was horrible today. France have themself to blame for this draw. And no zizu for next match too. Kinda good for france. today henry was left with no deliveries for him to score.
 
^^You do Realize that This may be the Last Time we Had seen Zidane in Action ! He is banned for the next game and I am sure France won't make it to the Knock-outs ! And as Zidi said he would be Retiring after the world-cup ! Well all I can say is that its a Really sad end to This Legends carrear !
