Korea plays Switzerland and France plays Togo this Friday at 12 PM Pacific.

Korea will advance to the next round of the World Cup in the following scenarios:

Korea beats Switzerland.

In this case, Korea would be the #1 seed in Group G. They would play the #2 seed in Group H in the first game of the knockout round.

OR

Korea ties Switzerland AND France does not beat Togo by more than 1 goal.

But if Korea ties Switzerland and France beats Togo by exactly 1 goal, then Korea will advance if France does not outscore Korea by more than 2 goals.

But if Korea ties Switzerland, France beats Togo by exactly 1 goal, and France outscores Korea by exactly 2 goals, then France and Korea would draw lots to determine which team would advance to the next round.

OR

Korea loses to Switzerland AND France does not beat Togo.

If Korea does not defeat Switzerland but advances to the next round, they will be the #2 seed in Group G and will play the #1 seed in Group H, most likely Spain. That would be a rematch of the 2002 quarterfinal where Korea won on penalty kicks.

Since I think most people expect France to beat Togo by more than 1 goal, Korea will probably need to win its match against Switzerland to advance to the next round.
