South Korea vs Mexico

The golden summer of South Korea is now 16 years behind when they hosted the world cup along with Japan in 2002 and went on reaching the semis in their home ground without much hassle. They were in great form in that tournament as they beat Poland, Portugal, Italy and Spain to meet Germany in the semis. They should have conquered the remaining European nation in the world cup but Oliver Kahn had other ideas as they fell short of the Germans by one goal. Since that moment, South Korea might have wanted to repeat the same but they failed and has been on a 7 match winless streak in the world cup at the moment and it is believed that it will be 8 matches in a row because the Mexican side is looking too good at the moment after defeating the defending champions of the 2014 World Cup. Mexico, however, would play the same team that helped them win against the European giants like Germany and this game would be walking in a park for them. But this world cup is full of surprises so it would not be easy to write the Koreans off easily.
