Soth Korea vs Scotland

As I'm off sick today I'm watching a bit of foot and the test match.

South Korea are giving the Jocks the run-around. Fast and skillful. Could cause some teams some problems.

4-1 final score. A consolation for Scotland before another excellent goal for Korea.

Can't say I noticed much from Gary Caldwell who played the whole game. looked like they went 3 at the back in the 2nd half with GC in front of them

Interesting. I can imagine both South Korea and Japan being very prepared for this tournament, despite their lack of experience. What was their discipline like?

superb. They were a joy to watch. really excellent skill and pace. Their defence had nothing to do so I can't comment on that... hopefully England will try then out next week!

going forward they were brilliant.

Japan`s preparations, at least in the 6 weeks or so I`ve been here, have all gone a bit to pot. They got spanked 3-0 off Norway last night and their defence has suddenly started shipping an alarming number of goals. Apparently they`re waiting on the return of their star defender who hasn`t played since Jan 1. Haven`t seen him play but he can only improve things - back line looked really amateurish against the Norwegians. Nakata and Ono are both really good in the midfield though. Troussier STILL seems to be experimenting though, so no telling who will actually play.

Haven`t witnessed it first hand, but from what I can gather things are coming together a lot better from the Koreans who are rock-solid at the back, neat and tidy in the middle and half-decent up front.
