Park Ji Sung, after Barca-match (1-0) 29th of ...

Manchester United's Park Ji Sung is probably the best known of the South Korean squad and they will be relying on his industriousness in the heart of the midfield to cause Greece problems.  Greece are probably slight favourites but the South Koreans could easily nick this game.

With Lionel Messi at the heart of the Argentinian team you really can't see anything but a victory for the South American's in the second game of the day.  A victory for Nigeria would definitely be an upset.  It's likely that Argentina will start with a 3 man attack of Lionel Messi, Carlos Tevez and Gonzalo Higuain,

The big game of the day though is undoubtedly the clash between England and the USA.  The 2 countries have met 9 times with England winning 7 of those.  The 2 USA victories came at the World Cup in 1950, in Brazil; 1-0, and in June 1993 in the USA; 2-0.  England are the seeded, and higher ranked team, and should win this game; especially against a suspect American defence.  But, you never know for certain.
