Afternoon all and welcome to the real football factories, I mean South Korea v Germany. Things are getting warm, are they not?

Shin Taeyon makes four changes to the side that faced Mexico: Koo Jacheol is back up front, Jung Wooyoung replaces the injured captain Ki Sungyueng, Hong Chul is in for Kim Minwoo and left-back, and at centre-back Yun Youngsun makes his first appearance of the competition.

Right then, teams innit.

For those confused about the various Group F permutations...

There've been some bum notes, but then there always will be. You measure a World Cup by its great games, not its nonsense, and we're on quite a run - the last six days have given us more than we could have dreamed. It's true that in the end, we need that kind of thing in the knockouts for the tournament to become a classic - Brazil 2014 had good groups, before phutting and sputtering to the end - but in the meantime, this is great, isn't it?!
