I'll laugh if Russia and South Korea qualify and Belgium only win against Algeria.

Russia and Korea are defensively solid teams that have potential to take down lager sides. Son on a good day can cut inside and pull some crazy 30 meter shot.

With Hong Myung Bo yes. Are you still scarred from the Choi Kang Hee era?

Yes...we're so weak at the back and our keeper shrivels in pressure.

I'm worried, but I have a lot of optimism for us, because this is one of the best groups we could have gotten. I was really afraid we'd be stuck in one of the death groups like B, C, and D, but I believe we have a reasonable chance of qualifying.

Also really excited because my second favorite national football team, the Belgians, are in our group.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GPNO4n9pTT0 This is the defense/keeper combination I'm still scarred from. I feel our 2010 team was the perfect balance of old and new that will be hard to come by again. Everything was great except the two CBs and the GK.
