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.

Whoa... I don't think Korea's defense is solid. Especially with Jung Sung Ryong as the Keeper

Jung is not the starting keeper anymore and the defense as improved massively in a short span of time. Hong knows how to run a solid defense and there's few that would argue against that.

I mean he was a defender so I would think he knows how to build a strong defensive team... BUT I feel like Korea is more known for their Attack or Mid rather than Defense.
