Russia, coached by experienced Italian Fabio Capello, are expected to repeat their friendly win over South Korea in Dubai last November.
Hong said he refused to believe the Russians consider South Korea underdogs, and he will not get hung up on his side's lack of goal-scoring prowess as they enter their eighth
consecutive World Cup finals.
South Korea have taken a stinging 4-0 loss to Ghana in Miami and turned it into a case study on what not to do in their opening World
Cup Group H match against Russia on Tuesday. It was a humbling and demoralising World Cup warm-up for the team who made it to the semi-finals in 2002 when South Korea co-
hosted the tournament. They have lost four of their last five games, conceded 11 goals and scored two.
Russia will sure take advantage of the experience of the players who ply their trade in top teams in Europe to win the Asians in far away Brazil. Quality speaks for itself.
Verdict: Russia wins both halves
