So Korea are one of the favorites?? Lost 2-1 to France in their last friendly. Apparently dominated them though according to Hay.

With a team mostly drawn from their domestic top flight (so less problems having training camps and the like through the pandemic), and 4 warmup games in the last month Sth Korea are likely to be well drilled. Also being in nearby Japan will almost feel like a home tourney for them.

Think Romania (sounds like a heap of their likely first team had to choose club over country), and Honduras (missing a number of players as their senior side is currently playing CONCACAF Gold Cup) offer the best prospects of wins in the pool.

So not end of the world by any means, if do lose to Korea first up.
