Argentina defeated Nigeria 1-0 in its opening game, while South Korea posted a 2-0 victory over Greece. As a result, the Argentines and South Koreans are tied for first place in Group A with three points apiece, while Nigeria and Greece pick up the rear.

This is a critical game for both sides as a win would land that team in first place in Group B and put them in the driver's seat with six points and one game to go in the first round.

A tie wouldn't be disastrous for Argentina, as its last match of the group stage is against lowly Greece, who has yet to win a game in two World Cups after making their tournament debut in 1994.

South Korea, on the other hand, faces a tricky Nigeria side in its final encounter of the group stage, so anything less than a victory against Argentina would mean their chances of advancing to the second round would go down to the wire.

Suspension Watch
Jonas Gutierrez earned a yellow card in Argentina's previous match. If he receives a another against South Korea, he will be suspended for Argentina's final game of the group stage. South Korea doesn`t have any players on a yellow card.

Players to watch
Lionel Messi vs. Park Ji-Sung — They play for two of the biggest clubs in the world (Messi for FC Barcelona, Park Ji-Sung with Manchester United), and both are talented playmakers and serve as the creative fulcrums of their national teams. Messi is the best player in the world, but Park Ji-Sung is a talented star who doesn't quite receive the recognition he deserves. A strong performance against Argentina would go a long way to change that.


Lets have your predictions 

If i had my way. . .
Argentina 5 - 0 Korea

Borat, could you PLEASE lose

Hehe. . .
You dont have a prayer
Whitewash!

if korea beats argentina, and we score 2 or 3 against greece today

then we will go second based on the number of goals scored,

korea will qualify, leaving us with an easy task of beating them and argentina going out,

i dont see a draw,

Dang!

Though i want the South Koreans to win, I'll give it to the Argentinians.

How did you do the maths?
If korea win today, they have 6pts, argies have 3pts
if we win today we have 3 points. . .
So what if argentina wins the last game as they should and. . .
so many ifs my friend. . .

No head to head rule here please.
Only goal difference counts

@ borat

its like this,  the koreans are very organised,

i have been following them since their world cup qualifiers,

they never lost a game,  they only conceded two goals

and in their world cup preparations, they have always lost by a goal,

now based on all the facts above,  i think that this game will end

at least 2-1 in favour of the koreans,  forget the striking force of the argens,

they are exhausted. they are not at their best except for messi,

if this game ends 2-1,  korea will qaulify with 6pts and argens 3pts with plus 2 goals

if we beat greece by 3 goals (God helping us) we will go second with 3pts and 3goals

then we beat korea 4goals, hoping that greece draws or doesnt conced too much goals beta than us, we will qualify,  cheiiii, my head
