Nigeria v S. Korea, BBC 3, 1930 GMT

​

Predictions and Discussion regarding the Nigeria & South Korea game here.

To qualify tonight South Korea must better whatever Greece do against Argentina.

TEAM NEWS
Nigeria could be without a recognised left-back for Tuesday's game. Taye Taiwo is doubtful with a groin injury and deputy Uwa Echiejile is also struggling.


If both defenders are unavailable, coach Lars Lagerback may have to reshuffle his defence. Midfielder Sani Kaita is suspended following his sending off against Greece.


South Korea are expected to again opt for a 4-2-3-1 formation. Monaco's Park Chu-young will start as a lone striker, with Manchester United's Park Ji-sung providing support from midfield.


One booking from suspension: Haruna, Obasi Ogbuke (Nigeria); Yeom Ki-hun, Lee Chung-yong (South Korea)


HEAD-TO-HEAD
South Korea are unbeaten in three previous games against Nigeria, winning two of those matches. All three encounters were friendlies played in Korea.


Referee: Olegario Benquerenca (Portugal)
Assistants: Jose Cardinal and Bertino Miranda (both Portugal)
Fourth official: Marco Rodriguez (Mexico)


I predict a 1-0 win for South Korea, will be a close game, but Nigeria have nothing to play for other than pride.​

Nigeria 0-1 South Korea. Park to score and dedicate the goal to the French captian as they will be out of world cup.

I can only see Korea winning TBH, Nigeria have nothing to play for, whereas Korea can qualify with a win.

Yakubu is known for pwning Penalties, or was. Had a fantastic record with them at Boro anyways.

 

[Redrup]

Some astounding misses in this game. Nigeria should have won...

Football's a funny old game.

 

[JDY]

One of the worst misses I've seen from Yakubu.

That happens about 1/1000 times and unfortunely for him it happened today.
(Not that he will get 1000 open goals)
