Agreed. Korea doesn't seem to be able to hold the ball when it matters. Final balls haven't been good enough.
Day 15: South Korea vs. Belgium

If Belgium were in any other groups, they would not have such an easy ride. I'm fairly sure they would not even have made it out of the group if they were in Group A, B, D, G. Belgium is seriously the most overrated team in the World Cup. USA can beat them.
Those two Korean birds 2 minutes ago were alright.
Even as a Korean watching our most likely last World Cup game this is so boring.
Can we sign Ki Sung Yeung please?
I'm not really sure what Korea is playing at having Koo Ja-Cheol mark Fellaini on set pieces - he must be taller by a head or something.
at MirallasHow's Fellaini doing?
I've actually thought some of their passing, balance and quick movement has been brilliant.
Mirallas going after Heskey's "worst stepovers ever" title
Given that Korea must win, they aren't really going for it.
Would have taken off Lee Chong-Yong myself, but Son looks equally knackered...
Doing well, not brilliant nor poorly. But better than average.
The Asian teams will really have to go back to the drawing board after this tournament. South Korea and Japan totally lacking any cutting edge. They have technical skills but are very one-dimensional.
Indeed. Very frustrating.
Finally they score.
We just don't seem to hold the ball well at their third.
AHHH OFFSIDES
That looked a mile off.
gol gol gol
Kin ell. Fellaini beat a man in the build up to that. 
Lee Chong-Yong's crosses have been shocking.
Korean keepers continue to be shit.
What are the scenarios here?
Gut instinct is he was on.
That's that then. We can't even beat a 10 man Belgium that's been playing poorly.
Was that offside, btw ?
Fellaini's technique is quite good, but he is quite slow and average passing at best. I'm very curious what LvG will do with him.
Vertonghen was offside.
Foot marginally off.
Technically thats a good decision imo.
Technically thats a good decision imo.
Barely. Can't blame the officials for that.
Technically his foot IS offside says Townsend. That'll be an offside then.
Does he play in the middle of further up the pitch?
Hammer blow, bye-bye Korea.
Origi looks so much better than Lukaku
Korea got to be up there with the worst teams in the tourney ?

Damn, Origi's pretty good. Was stupid to stick with Mertens/Mirallas for so long.
I honestly think that Belgium are the most boring team at this tournament. And I'll say what I said after their 2nd game. If they can't score until the 75th/80th minute of the game, when they play a decent team, the game will already be over.
I agree. I've been telling anyone that will listen that I think Belgium are 2-4 years away from being legit contenders for anything. I always thought that their ceiling was the QFs here but with the way the bracket has fallen out I'm really starting to believe the USA will win. At least I have one country to root for now that England are out...
