North Korea v South Korea WC Qual AND OTHER AFC QUALIFIERS 26/3

[Football-Tipper]

It will be the third time that the Koreas cross swords with each other in a FIFA World Cup qualifying campaign, and it was the South Koreans who emerged victorious on both occasions: 1-0 in 1989 and 3-0 in 1993. Korea Republic are also unbeaten on Chinese soil, with a 1-0 win (1990) and a 1-1 draw (1992) in Beijing, as well as February's 1-1 stalemate in Chongqing.
This time the joint leaders face off each other in Shanghai, where they fought out a 1-1 draw at the East Asian Championship last month. Korea Republic coach Huh Jung-Moo will be banking on Premiership trio of Park Ji-Sung, Lee Young-Pyo, and Seol Ki-Hyun, although he recently expressed concerns about their match fitness. His counterpart Kim Jong-Hun also has a couple of foreign-based players at his disposal, with Jong Tae-Se of Kawasaki Frontale and FK Bezanija's Hong Yong-Jo always a threat.

For me this looks like a good price for the South Koreans vastly more experianced players and technically superior in most departments...

S Korea are available @ 2/1 HT/FT with VC most others are 6/4 mark remember this will be played at Neutral ground (china)

Looks good to follow South Korea. Small stakes only though for 2 reasons. First - no other game on earth atm has more politics involved than this one for the respective region!! It makes any bet far too risky, both countries will be hysterical about this game, no wonder it will take place in China, where, strange enough most diplomatic contacts take place. Second - motivation will be sky high, it will be a battle if it is fair play one. In such battles footballing merits and experience come second.
It is not funny, I am not being paranoid, just ask any Korean in the neighbourhood how big this game is to people out there...

I think S. Koreans don't give a s***, N. Koreans are expactant. This should favour the former.
