As such, my expectation was a thorough win for the South Koreans. This game however was not an easy win, at least before Togo was down to 10 men. To my great surprising, just like how Trinidad &#038; Tobago performed against Sweden earlier, Togo faught valiantly and could possibly defeat the Korean if it wasn&#8217;t for the red card. If Togo had a full team, Korea could have struggled a lot.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not questioning the booking but still, it seemed to me that the Koreans were out to prove that 2002 was a sheer luck instead of otherwise. Togo seemed dangerous and from my point of view, just like me, the South Koreans underestimated the African nation and almost paid the price for it. They should have paid the price but they got away with full points.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless of that, I now know who I&#8217;m supporting within Group G. I feel the guilt of underestimating Togo and now on, I&#8217;m rooting for Togo for any match within Group G. I wish them the best of luck.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I watched only the South Korea-Togo match last night &#8211; which was unfortunate since both Brazil and France were up in two different matches on Wednesday morning &#8211; and I want to say that I don&#8217;t feel South Korea deserve their points.
