South Korean

With the approach of the start time of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, the evolution of the South Korean national team continues after the countries of East Asia to ensure their appearance seventh consecutive year in the world arena.

As a contestant from Asia's most lots appear in the World Cup finals, 'Taeguk Warriors' also known as the most successful teams. Raihan Korea South Korea-Japan in 2002 exceeded the position of North Korea's quarter-finals in England in 1966.

Under the care of Guus Hiddink, Park Ji Sung et al are able to reach the semi-finals after going through the obstacles Italy and Spain. Impressive performances of their 1-0 defeat terminated from Germany.

With the unexpected success memory is still fresh, South Korea continued to maintain trust with the coach from the Netherlands. First, Jo Bonfrere Ginseng helps teams perform at the World Cup finals in 2006. Then, the position was taken over coaching Advokaat Dick, but unfortunately they were only caught in the group stage.

At the time the two coaches were not able to continue that good performance Hiddink, South Korea continued trend coached the Dutch national team by appointing Pim Verbeek. His figure is known as an assistant coach in the countries of East Asia in the World Cup finals.

Asia Cup Asia champion in 2007 showed that twice fought in Group D qualifier At that time they were held 1-1 by Saudi Arabia before defeated Bahrain 2-1 in the second fight. Verbeek new look - with a mix of young players who has experienced a number of old players - can only secure a place in round of 8 with a thin 1-0 victory over hosts Indonesia in the last party group.

South Korea continued poor performance in the knockout round with a goalless draw results from three games after normal and extra time. Even so, the team was formed Verbeek arguably squad relentless, paired with a brilliant action sequence veteran goalkeeper Lee Woon-Jae which they won on penalties in the play against Iran in the quarter-finals. South Korean unlucky when tos-tosan duel with Iraq before they finally win over Japan in the decisive third-place party.

Facing the 2010 World Cup qualifying, KFA (Korea him PSSI) re-appoint a local coach, Huh Jung-Moo at the end of 2007. Huh name is not a foreign name on the country's national team in Seoul's capital. Jeonnam-born man had previously been handled squad 'Affairs Ginseng' in 1995 for 12 days and two years in the hot seat between 1998 and 2000. Huh start the first fight he trained his team well after shaving Turkmenistan 4-0 at home to early 2008.

Unsatisfactory results during the 0-0 draw with North Korea and come to the 2-2 by the visitors to Jordan to make South Korea struggled to escape from the third round qualifying group stage. However, Park Ji Sung et al. back to victory lane with Jordan defeated Turkmenistan 1-0 and 3-1, so make sure the country into the fourth round.

While critics continue to attack the team, Huh and his players adopt silenced the critics with dominating their group. 2-0 victory in Dubai is quite safe for the troops to appear in Huh South Africa before playing two matches left in the cage against Saudi Arabia and Iran.

Nigeria started in 2008 by Ghana 1-0 defeat of Ivory Coast and could only win one time and once a draw to qualify to the quarter-finals. In West Africa derby to host the tournament, Vogts troops should come home from losing 2-1.

The Super Eagles have a lot of stars scattered in several clubs in Europe, began to Russia in the east to Spain in the west. Competition for places in the squad pretty hard though Nigeria still seeking a replacement playmaker Augustine 'Jay-Jay' Okocha. Colleagues such as Nwankwo Kanu and Joseph Yobo have the experience, but new faces like Stephen Makinwa, John Obi Mikel, Taye Taiwo, Obafemi Martins and John Utaka will be a key game in South Africa Nigeria.

Nigeria undergoing final debut in the United States in 1994. They also played in France 1998 and Korea-Japan 2002.

The golden age of France unfortunately does not last long. France looks just slumped in the main round of the four major tournaments that followed. France's worst record occurred in the 2002 World Cup. At that time French champions as fact is just devastated by losing to Senegal, and even failed to qualify from group stage.

URUGUAY

Uruguay is one of the few countries that had some success in international tournaments like the World Cup. The country with no more than three million it had twice won the World Cup in the history of its participation in the World Cup in 1930 and 1950.

But Uruguay fame slowly began to fade. Post became world champion in 1950, the best result Uruguay ranked only fourth in the 1970 World Cup. The rest, six times they failed to qualify, and three times was always stopped in the first round of the tournament.

Oscar Tabarez was appointed as coach to fix squad juarai ever Copa America 14 times that much. Initial task is to get Tabarez La Celeste to South Africa. And El Maestro - a nickname Tabarez - managed to run it, although not very smooth.

Just like four years ago, Uruguay did not automatically qualify from the qualifying round and must melakoni playoff game. If their last Australian thwarted, this time Diego Forlan et al succeeded in winning the competition with the representatives of CONCACAF, Costa Rica by 2-1 aggregate victory.

Combination of young players and senior players such as Diego Lugano as well as several top players who compete in the major leagues of Europe like Forlan Uruguay deserve to make opponents wary. It is expected that the composition of the team is capable enough, to penetrate the Uruguay round of the first knockout in the last 20 years.

Mexico

Mexico always favored qualify as a representative of the CONCACAF zone to every World Cup finals. Only in 1990 Italy did not qualify Aztecas. The supporters believe Mexico will achieve high performance in the World Cup because of a new generation of players is very promising.

With a squad that was mentioned in the Golden Generation, winner of the World Cup U-17 in Peru in 2005 and quarter-finalists World Cup U-20 in Canada, that's when the peak for Mexican football.
They're pretty good start under coach steps in Jesus 'Chucho' Ramirez, who replaced coach Hugo Sanchez. Mexico won 9-0 on aggregate so that Belize has the right to appear in the third phase.

In phase using the group system, Mexico joined the Jamaica, Canada and Honduras. Chucho was deposed and world-class coach Sven-Goran Eriksson was chosen to mix strategy teams 'Aztec'.

After 10 months and played 13 games in the hot seat Mexican coach, the Swede was sacked and replaced by veteran coach Javier 'El Vasco' Aguirre who had handled the national team in Korea-Japan 2002. Sven is considered failed because Mexico lost two times from the U.S. and Honduras in the last phase which contains the six countries.

He also invited a number of young players who have long been the headline in the press of Mexico, including Andres Guardado (Deportivo La Coruna), Nery Castillo (Shakhtar Donetsk), Giovani dos Santos (Tottenham) and Guillermo Ochoa (America).

Mexico is not in vain choose Aguirre as coach. Although the remaining one-party, El Tri into the first team from the Concacaf zone booked a ticket to South Africa after the crush of El Salvador 4-1. Mexico in the final standings are below the U.S. with one point difference.

South Africa

To host the 2010 World Cup is a great history in football South Africa (South Africa). Besides required to hold the event as perfect as possible terakbar, they must deliver strong resistance to his opponents and not be a team seksdar entertainer.

Bafana Bafana team achievement is actually not bad, very bad. At the level of Africa, South Africa was once held up trophies from the 1996 African Cup 7 times its participation. Not so with the World Cup. South African stranded just always in the first round in two-year participation in the 1998 and 2002. Thus South Africa is now acting as the host must have a high motivation to show their super greatness.

Steven Pienaar will be a midfield general that determines the rhythm of the game. With the absence of the top skorer, Benni McCarthy and saw a stunning performance at the last Confederations Cup, Pienaar has become a key player team Bafana Bafana. But do not forget Siboniso Gaxa and Tspeho Masilela. Both players contributed to a vital but often separated from other observations.

As a coach, Carlos Alberto Parriera will provide many benefits to the team. Parriera who had brought Brazil won the 1994 World Cup has a rich experience which will certainly contribute to the revitalization of South Africa who encountered many obstacles in the pre World Cup match.
