Mexico - S. Korea:3-1 A fair result. IF there was no red card so early we would probably be looking at an upset right now. Tying the score so early in the second half seemed to rejuvenate the Mexicans who really dominated the second half and could have scored more goals. I feel bad for S. Korea so many World Cups still no win. They always play hard and they could really lay back a little bit after scoring the goal to frustrate the Mexicans. But they never changed their style; bad coaching decision IMO. And this was their best chance this year...it would only get worse. A fair red card too. That was a real chopstick...I was really surprised that the Mexicans seemed to be better conditioned as the game went on. They have a chance for the second spot by beating Belgium. In order for Asian soccer to take the next step they all got to move to Europe?<g> That Blanco guy is very dangerous. Again S. Korea full of Kims and Lees...Ha? So far this WC shapes up to be the best ever...WC on Viagra? Next Netherlands-Belgium. Another great game between these two rivals.

xyz: I have to disagree - I actually thought Mexico played very well (I missed the last half of the first half) at least in the 2nd Half. I thought Korea looked unfit - manifesting itself especially with the lack of midfield support when the forwards had the ball. Of course I had no idea that they had only 10 men - this would explain it! Yes Mexico could have taken a few more shots - Korea could have lost by 4 goals conceivably... Best player had to be Blanco - the left forward... Holand 2 Belgium 1 Shane.
