Just days after triggering off unprecedented celebrations nationwide by stepping into the un-chartered territory of the second round of the World Cup, Team Korea will face Italy in Daejon at 8:30pm (KST), Tuesday, in a crucial match that will decide which group advances into the quarterfinals. Over forty thousand soccer enthusiasts will gather inside the stadium in Daejon this evening, while four million other South Korean fans will come together on the streets in major cities across the country to root the national squad into the next round.
The cheer campaigns have played a significant role in boosting the spirit of the latest tournament for the home team. Observers say, the upcoming duel will prove to be the ultimate test of the group's progress over the last 18 months. This especially given Guus Hiddink's remarks, in which he noted his greatest achievement in a year and a half as head coach, was convincing the players to believe in themselves.
