For South Korea it’s all about whether or not or not Heung-min Son is match sufficient to have a big effect on this World Cup. They know Portugal and Uruguay are favored to get out of their group but when this Korean facet can keep stable defensively (Napoli’s Kim Min-jae is the chief on the again and is having an excellent season), they know Son (if totally match) can win a sport in a split-second. That’s the hope they’re hanging on to as they goal to get out of the group for the primary time since 2010.
