Watch Korean Republic vs. Argentina Online
On June 17th at 13:30 in Johannesburg the up and coming Korean Republic faces world power Argentina in a match vital to Korea’s advancement past the group stages. Argentina is widely expected to advance past the group stage with little resistance, so being able to procure a win or tie will give the Korean Republic a significant leg up on Greece and Nigeria, the two other nations in their group. The Korean Republic is making it’s eighth appearance in the World Cup and remains the only Asian team to previously reach the semi-finals of the tournament, accomplishing this feat in 2002. The Korean Republic is lead by team captain Park Ji-Sung, who plays an important part for the dominant English club Manchester United. Ji-sung and his fellow footballers will face stiff competition from the deeply talented Argentine roster that includes Carlos Tevez, Maxi Rodriguez, and arguably the current best player in the world Lionel Messi. The Korean Republic no doubt faces a daunting opponent in Argentina, and will have to repeatedly and aggressively attack their defense (which serves as arguably the one weakness on this strong squad), if they want the chance at this upset.
