Korea will meet France (14th), England (15th) and Japan (17th) one after another in Group D. The match against Japan is virtually no different than the match for first place in the group.
In the quarterfinal matchup, the first and second place in each group are matched by lottery, so you have to take first place to easily reach the semifinals, avoiding China, Indonesia, and Malaysia, where the first place in Groups A to C is strong. If they become second in the group, the possibility of a rematch with Japan cannot be ruled out depending on the lottery results.카지노사이트
