Uruguay have the bigger attacking threat,but South Korea are an unpredictable side.

Have a feeling this one will go to extra time, or even penalties, and it certainly won't be scoreless!

namloc1980

I reckon Uruguay to snatch this in a close one by a single goal.

From what I've seen, it'll be 2-1 Uruguay

Really looking forward to this game actually. Should be a good watch, minus a lot of over-paid prima donnas.

Frisbee

I have Uruguay in a sweep so....

GO URUGUAY!

sky88

come on uruguay i reckon by 2 goals today south koera are a decent team it will be close match for the mojarity of the match

allthedoyles

Uruguay for me too , but hoping that the Koreans don't turn in a Japanese style performance , like the match last Thurs against Denmark

Bob the Seducer

I'll continue to support both Korea and Japan since they're the closest to us in the Elo Ratings. They've also got fairly decent styles of play (compared to the likes of Greece and Switzerland) so c'mon the red devils!

im up for south korea becuase i will probably be moving there soon, but main thing just hope there is goals goals goals

Korea: Sung-Ryong, Du-Ri, Young-Pyo, Yong-Hyung, Jung-Soo, Jung-Woo, Sung-Yong, Jae-Sung, Ji-Sung, Chung-Yong, Chu-Young

Uruguay: Muslera, Lugano, Godin, Fucile, M. Pereira, Perez, Arevalo, Cavani, A. Pereira, Suarez, Forlan

Think this will be a comfortable one for Uruguay, Korea are poor at the back. Uruguay won't concede either.

Whet your appetites with my preview, here.

I'm looking forward to this one. Hoping that South Korea can go through. I reckon that it'll be a close one, possibly extra-time to decide it.

Here's hoping. 8/5 for Uruguay to win with a clean sheet was too tempting not to do!

That Port Elizabeth stadium looks amazing from the aerial shots!

The Sparrow

I fancy Uruguay by a goal or maybe two but it will be tight. I just think Uruguay will be able to control the high energy frenzy of the South Koreans in midfield and Suarez or Forlan will pick them off.

I've been very impressed with Perez, the Uruguayan defensive midfielder, so I'm interested to see how he does.

The winner of this plays the winner of USA/ Ghana so they have a pretty good shot of making the semis.

That was awful defending.

Also Empty seats at a World Cup knock out match. F.U South Africa/FIFA :mad:

Xavi6

Before today, Luis Suarez has finished on the winning side in 21 consecutive matches for club and country that he has scored in.

Not a bad omen!

Aidric

Go on the Suarez.

Sherifu

Gift of a goal.

mike65

The pitch is a joke. Two more to be played on it as well.

3hn2givr7mx1sc

A bit dramatic there from the SK player.

JerryHandbag

LOL at SSN billing this as the battle of the ex-United team mates (Forlan v Park)...except Forlan left before Park signed :rolleyes:

blackalicious

cmon korea sort it out

_Bella_

Go on Park Ji Sung!

Pepe LeFrits

Uruguay look too solid for South Korea...

An Citeog

Note to RTE commentator: Álvaro Pereira is black and playing on the left wing, Egidio Arévalo is the small defensive midfielder with the shaved head.

Headshot

pitch is awful and the ref didnt give an obvious peno
