The government is taking extra precaution as it fears the massive Korean crowd could go wild after the game, which is important for both sides as it will likely decide whether they will make it into the Round of 16.

Regarding the measures, a government official said Thursday that a small incident could explode into a massive mishap and that is why the government decided to map out a comprehensive measure as early as possible. He also noted the government would deploy more security guards at Daegu World Cup Stadium and Sejongro, Seoul, near the US embassy, where many Red Devil fans come out to watch the game on the large outdoor screens.

The government is also planning to ask for the cooperation of each university against possible student movements, and the cooperation of the Red Devils and the people.
