MATCH THREAD - South Korea vs Belgium - Group H - 9PM KO (UK Time) - Thursday 26th June

Vs

South Korea coach Hong Myung-Bo criticised his defence following the 4-2 defeat to Algeria and may opt for a reshuffle.

QPR left-back Yun Suk-Young could be a casualty, as could shot-shy striker Park Chu-Young of Arsenal.

Belgium may hand a start to striker Divock Origi, who could replace the out-of-form Romelu Lukaku.

The Belgians are already through to the last 16 so coach Marc Wilmots is likely to rest players on a yellow card.

I heard the South Korean fans were fuming the chairman is changing their name to South Korea Tigers

Looking forward to this. I can't see Korea do it sadly as they need to win 3-0 to progress.

Park Chu Young should be nowhere near the starting 11 though.

KOFF WILMOTS! Got Lukaku as Belgians TGS with a TGS Accy ive got going.

Includes; Muller, Neymar, Sturridge, Dzeko and Rom. Got another one too, with all them plus Ronaldo.

Paddy Power have given me wins for Sturridge, Dzeko and Ronaldo as they all got 1 each and finished joint, Neymar and Muller both have 4 so they're cert to finish Germanys and Brazils TGS, then theres Rom, with 0 goals. Both bets combined come to £1300. ROM FFS.

Mario Kempes in 1978 and Paolo Rossi in 1982 finished as top scorers at those respective World Cups after failing to score in the first group stage.

Hope that helps.

Kevin starting up top for Belge

 

[ste d' indica]

Wow, Kev starts up front.

Edit - Sorry, should bother to read previous posts. In my defence I've read an awful lot of posts today. #blamelfc, #blameuruguay, #blamesuarez.

 

[LinekersLegs]

Good luck Kev, hope being used to playing with Fellaini helps him score a goal or two.

 

[Eric Djemba-Djemba]

It will be interesting to see how Kev does up front. I wish he'd been given more of a chance last season their when Lukaku was playing gash.
