Who on earth would have predicted a World Cup semifinal between South Korea and Germany this time last month?
The World Cup took another mad twist when South Korea beat Spain 5-3 on penalties in the quarterfinals on Saturday. Turkey then added to the mayhem with a 1-0 golden goal victory over Senegal and now faces Brazil in the second semifinal tomorrow.
Tonight in Seoul, however, all the pressure will be on Germany to bring a halt to the astonishing run of cohost South Korea. If anyone can handle what promises to be a red-hot atmosphere in Seoul, it is the Germans.
