This will be South Korea's seventh consecutive qualification for the World Cup. In 2002 they shocked the world by placing fourth in the tournament. No one is giving the Koreans much of a chance, as they are playing in Group B with power house Argentina and teams that are very closely matched in terms of skills Greece and Nigeria. These teams all have very different styles and should make for some entertaining games. Group B is a must watch.Player to Watch - Park Ji-Sung
The Man U footballer will have another chance to prove why he may be one of the greatest South Korean players of all time. He will be wearing the captain's armband and much of Korea's hopes will reside with him.
