basically, turkey is the favourite on paper. I have followed the team (several teams, but turkey is one of them) for some time and they have always been fighters.

I don't think that they rolled over for brazil... after watching the game it just seemed that brazil never really let them get into the game. They almost lulled the turks to sleep and effectively controlled all of the game flow. Good on brazil... they are better than i thought they were this wc

Korea has proven itself by duking it out with the best of them, but i think that turkey's tight relentless game is in fact a good answer for the korean pressure game. I also feel that turkey had an easier route and may be fresher.

To be honest... it's anyone's game, but i can't help but feel the "undefeated" euphoria might be a gone and that they may finally step on a field flat footed and get caught with an early turkish goal. It then becomes yet another game of catchup.

I just hope they put on a good show for the korean fans. they have been excellent hosts imo.
