Korea At The World Cup

Korea DPR had a rocky road to the FIFA World Cup 2010, and were almost eliminated from the Asian Zone qualifying, however, they eventually stormed into the final round as if from nowhere, and began to pick up some form at the right time. It has been some years since they impressed on the ‘world stage, and in fact their greatest success was in 1966 – the year England won the competition — when they reached the quarter finals. As for star players, Korea DPR draw most of their top players from domestic teams, however, FC Rostov’s Hong Yong-Jo is perhaps the most clinical of performers, and he scored four times in qualifying. Japan based Jong Tae-Se is another one to watch, and midfielder Mun In-Guk is a dynamo who most of the team’s play usually stems from. However, despite their relatively obscure players, Korea DPR play with pace, flair, and creativity that will worry many of the world’s top sides. The team have nothing to lose this year, and they’ll be giving it their all. Bwin.com provides all the latest online betting odds on the market for Korea at the World Cup.

However, they’ll have to give 100% should they want to proceed to the knockout stages, for they’ve been handed the dreaded ‘Group of Death’. Firstly, they’ll come up against many people’s tournament favourites Brazil, who will have the likes of Robinho and Kaka to call upon. Next, they’ll face Portugal, and with Cristiano Ronaldo in inspired form for Real Madrid – the task will be anything but easy.  Lastly, they’ll have to face the in-form Ivory Coast, who will be far stronger physically then Korea – Didier Drogba is the talisman for the ‘White Elephants’. Because of this unfortunate draw, Korea DPR’s price in the betting market is the second highest, only New Zealand to win the competition offers longer odds.
