This tournament was likely to be an uphill climb for Morocco, who is ranked No. 72 in the world. It doesn’t help that their first match came against a superpower like Germany, but the Moroccans could be outmatched once again.
South Korea didn’t play very well in its 2-0 defeat against Colombia. However, we need to keep perspective, as South Korea is the second-highest ranked squad (No. 17) in this group — only trailing Germany.
South Korea came into the first match as a mild favorite only to be upset by Colombia. There’s still reason to believe they can make a run at the knockout stage but they must take care of business against Morocco. They have the ability and motivation to make that happen.
