Simon Hill is the lead commentator for Fox Sports Australia and, in addition to leading the channel’s A-League efforts, covers the region’s international game. Simon joined me early last week to talk about the five teams from Asian and Oceania that will be competing in South Africa: Australia, New Zealand, North Korea, South Korea and Japan.

Excellent analysis by Simon. I agree 100% with him on South Korea. It’s about time they got some recognition for the brand of football they play. One of the most entertaining national sides out there & can beat anyone on their day. The best part about them is that Korean players are not prone to ego trips due to their culture and are a dream to manage. They’re a skilled, extremely fit and well organized squad that I’m looking very much forward to watching.
