Friday Matches Preview (FIFA World Cup 2010)

South Korea v Greece

Well, I think South Korea is the best team in Asia. They will challenge Euro 2004 winner, Greece in the first match in Group B. Both sides has a memorable history. South Korea went through the semifinal in WC 2002 after clawed 'European Giant' Italy that famous with their 'catenaccio' tactic in the quarter final. But they couldn't defeat Germany with Oliver Kahn as a hard rock in the Germany goal. Very very unlucky, but I know that South korea has a strong spirit and strong character to shows us a good display in the pitch. Lee Won Jae & Park Ji Sung are the key player for them. Greece is the 'unexpected' winner in Euro 2004 Portugal. but they have a collective play style. I think that's the key. Simple tactic with deadly effect. Giorgos Karagounis, Fanis Gekas, and Sotiris Kyrgiakos are the indispensable players for them in the Friday Clash.


Argentina v Nigeria

Lionel Messi, no doubt about it, he is still the best player in the world. He can produces a moment of magic for Argentina. But Argentina is not just Messi, there are Juan Veron with his experience, Angel Di Maria the new starlet, or Carlos Tevez the excellent poacher (I love this guy to be honest, despite I'm Man Utd fan). Argentina is one of WC 2010 winner candidate, so they have some pressures. But I believe this team has a strong mentality and Maradona has taught them his experience to handle the pressures. Nigeria without John Obi Mikel. It's difficult for them to stop Carlos Tevez or Lionel Messi with a 'big hole' in defensive midfielder post. John Obi Mikel has proved his quality in Chelsea. No one doubt about it. but nigeria can play all out with no more pressures. So i hope I'll see a good display from both sides in the pitch.
