What say you?
Win, lose or draw and what score?
I am still not sure...I think a draw could happen but that logic dictates that France will win this game. |

My guess is a draw, I orginally had France in a rout but given how they played against Switzerland I've rethought it
question is will it be 0-0 or 1-1; remember France has not scored a goal since the 1998 final |

2-2
Both defenses will fail, Korea will carry the play but France will have the best chances. |

| It could be a draw because both cultures tend to be unpredictable, emotional and spontaneous. I'll give the edge to Korea though because they're hungrier. |

| France, although I haven't really got a dog in this fight, I want to see Korea take it because it'll keep the lovin going for a week or so more, meaning that when my teams (England and Australia) bomb out, I can at least know that people were still giving a crap about the WC here. Anyway, I think the full force of Thierry Henry running at a crocked Korean defense will be the difference. |

This I gotta see.
Noted.
Does Australia beat Brazil too? Get it down.
I say 3-0 Brazil at least. (I'd love if Guus could get them to a tie, but I just can't see it.) |

| Everyone should beat on a frenchie. More power to the Korean team I hope they slap the frenchies around like a pack of red headed step children. |

You do understand what I meant ... France will run roughshod over Korea. |

Yes, and I think this unlikely, given their play in this tourney. A tie they should feel happy with.
Don't you think Australia could beat Brazil, have a chance in hell? |

France is the sleeping giant waiting to be woken up. Korea is a team riding their luck (look at Ahn's deflected winner against Togo). These are both trends going back to 2002. I see the Korea/France match as the irresistable force meeting the immovable object.
And my money's on France to turn on the style.

I could possibly see Aus getting a point, but nothing more. Drop Ronaldo, start Robinho, and samba all the way to the last 16. Brazil 2-0. |

As France didn't get three points against the fellow cheese makers, I think France will be more attack minded.
This spells trouble for the Korean defence.
I fancy France to nick 1-0, with a goal coming from midfield. |

Ronaldo is scheduled to start - regardless of more dizzy spells alla '98.
The coach has a reputation as a master strategist. I think he knows what he's doing. Ronaldo may have even been told to play poorly - or at least to not exert himself.
He still could easily score 6+ goals...
Time will tell, but regardless, I think the solution to the "Ronaldo Problem" will come sooner rather than later. Either he'll begin to perform or they'll find a system of substitution that creates more offense... even though they've been placing such a premium on defense, the Brazillian fans demand flare, and they're gonna get it.
Joga bonito.
Namaste. |

France looked weak against the Swiss.
Korea could nick it. |
