S. Korea pot 1 based on what? Ahahahaha

 

Only this? Sorry but i think it's a joke...

What if New Zealand were to host the under 20 WC, pot 1 for them as well? LOL.

 

It's the same like South Africa in 2010 (and Qatar im 2022...). There's nothing wrong with it.

 

Korea and Japan were in pot 1 back in 2002.

 

It has always been like that, nothing surprising.

 

5/20 Sat 20:00: Korea vs Guinea @ Jeonju WC
5/23 Tue 20:00: Korea vs Argentina @ Jeonju WC
5/26 Fri 20:00: Korea vs England @ Suwon WC


Nearly "EASY"
England, Argentina, South Korea, Guinea

 

I predict group stage exit by Korea.

vs. Guinea (W)
vs. Argentina (L)
vs. England (D)

*goes out in goal difference.

 

My bold prediction
vs. Guinea-Loss
vs. Argentina-Draw
vs. England-Win

 

We will go through as one of the best 3rd placed teams as we have always done in the past. Then lose in the penalties after a hard fought match.

Makes me remember Mr Lee Gwang-jong.... dam

 

Which group for Italy?

 

S.Africa, Japan, and Uruguay

 

Not a bad group... S. Korea's group is way harder.

 

It's a hard group but honestly I prefer to face the good team in the group stage because they will take the tournament serious from the beginning. (For senior level it's a different story as the level differences are higher while on U20 level the gap between good and less good teams is smaller imo).

 

Group D is tougher. England has a history of being piss poor in youth tournaments...

 

We played very well against England lately. Shouldnt be a VERY difficult match. I am more worried about Guinea and Argentina.

 

Well...England is shit even in the senior level.

And they invented football...

 

argentina vs peru:
argentina vs uruguay:
argentina vs bolivia:
argentina vs uruguay:
argentina vs colombia:
argentina vs ecuador: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cH9XViCKth0
argentina vs brazil: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MqQq7zdsIxg
argentina vs venezuela: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJOhOiGn5mg

argentinas defending and goalkeeping looks suspect. a lot of individual talent in the attack though. im going to guess england has the strongest team on paper out of this group

 

guinea vs zambia:
guinea vs egypt:
guinea vs mali:
guinea vs senegal:

guinea looks like another one of those inconsistent and tactically indiscipline african side with some explosiveness. the days they get going they are dangerous and firing from all corners but most other days they are flat

 

You have a great home record vs African teams at any level. I don't expect anything else but 3 pts for Korea.
