>IMO it isn't so much that the Koreans appeared to slow down, it is that of all the teams to play them so far, Spain held up the longest. In fact, at the end, it is difficult to say one team was more tired than the other.<

You are probably right.

Separately, the Korean team is well known for its "come from behind" when they play against a stronger team. Each time its strong opponent scored first, then the Korean rallied and catched up. Last night, Spain did not score, so Korean did not score either, or in other words, there was nothing for them to "come from behind". Just a little no-so-serious suspicion.

After the recent two big games (against Italy and Spain), it left Korean with injuries and likely fatigue. This would add difficulties on the Korean to play against the better rested and stronger German.
