The Red Devils, South Korea's fanatical supporters, have
promised that Germany will get the shock of
their lives when they walk on the pitch for
Tuesday's World Cup semi-final against the
co-hosts.

Kim Yong-Il, head of the Seoul chapter of the
Red Devils, said members were working on a
giant slogan that will "really shock the world".

Without giving away the message, Kim said it would be even more
provocative than the "Again 1966" card display that thousands of fans put
up in the second round match against Italy last week.

Italy's coach Giovanni Trappatoni complained the reference to Italy's 1-0 defeat by North Korea at the 1966 World Cup finals was intimidatory.
But FIFA insisted it could do nothing as long as there was no racism or threat of physical violence.

The Red Devil's message of welcome for opposing teams has become
one of the biggest talking points at South Korea's matches. In the Group
D match against Poland it was "Win 3-0." For the United States it was
"Go Kor 16" -- an encouragement to reach the second round.

Your opinion counts. Sorry Ballack will be missing the final. Everyone would love to see the best players are in the final game.

One should remember, Germany should thank Korea for their eliminating the three big teams Italy Spain and Portugal and pave a much easier way for Germany to go to the final.
Germany is lucky in this WC, too.
