Boring football, but both sides are trying to win. Capello as expected, came out super defensive in the 1st half, trying to exploit on the counter attack which is Korea's weakness. Korea is playing very composed so far, which was what's needed in a match of this magnitude. Russia tends to slow down after the 70th minute. Korea just needs to keep them from scoring first before then. Korea should try to score, but they absolutely need to stop Russia from scoring first. Russia DOES NOT lose games they score first. They either win, or at worst get a draw. If its still 0-0 at the 70th minute, I think Korea will create many chances in the last 20 minutes.
Question... If the goalie catches the ball after it crosses the line but before it hits the ground is it a goal? I always thought it was but the announcers made it sound like it would have been a save.

Is it too late to switch Sweeden in for one of these two teams? Or Iran & Nigeria? Fell asleep both games.
