Andy: Interesting to see whether the Muller light German team will be as good as the full cream version?

Tim: Surprised to see Khedira back in the starting line-up. It was obvious against Mexico that he isn't as technically gifted to play at the same pace as Kroos, Ozil, Muller, Draxler etc, and then he's dropped and Germany win. Weak link in my view!

Helles: Something about this German team just doesn't feel right, they don't have the same intensity, grit and determination of great sides of the past

Toni Kroos' corner is cleared. Germany just can't get going here.

Speaking of poor World Cups...

Mesut Ozil's cross is behind everyone. Now Timo Werner's powerful cross is headed away by Yun Young-sun - who hurt himself while getting it away.

Sami Khedira is too slow in midfield to run or play the ball here and he's tackled by a South Korean. He's another German who is having a poor World Cup.

South Korea have been the bigger threat in the final third. Son had to hit the target there but he slashed wildly at it, and it was well over the bar.

South Korea are having the better chances. Lee Yong's cross lands to the man they would want it to - Son Heung-min. But the ex-Bundesliga player smashes the shot wide from 10 yards.

There is still a scenario where Germany are eliminated on yellow cards. But South Korea have the first two of the game as Lee Jae-sung fouls Leon Goretzka.

Daniel: come on Korea

Theon: Neuer looking like Joe Hart

Dan: Watching the game at work. If anyone asks, it's Korea related.

Germany left-back Jonas Hector, who will be playing in the second division next season after signing a new deal with Cologne, puts in a cross which is blocked.

Now at the other side, Joshua Kimmich's cross is caught by the Korean keeper.

Dreadful goalkeeping From Manuel Neuer. It's an easy one to take but he spills it, and Son is inches away. Credit to Neuer, he manages to recover to hook it away.

South Korea almost lead! Jung Woo-young takes the free-kick from 30 yards. It's right at goalkeeper Manuel Neuer, who somehow spills it - but he manages to claw it away from an attacker before he can turn it home.

This is only Neuer's third competitive appearance since September because of injury.

It's all been too flat by Germany and I thought they would've started quicker. They lack that physical presence when they do manage to cross balls into the box, and they are yet to create anything clear cut.

Sami Khedira concedes a free-kick for a high boot, he basically kicked Jung Woo-young's head.

Koo Ja-cheol is back I believe.

Germany take a short corner, Toni Kroos to Marco Reus - that free-kick combo. It's played out to Mesut Ozil, who whips the ball into the box - and South Korea's Koo Ja-cheol is down injured after landing on his arm awkwardly.

Corner for Germany as Leon Goretzka, who is joining Bayern Munich this summer, has a cross cleared.

From the corner, Sami Khedira's looping header is caught by Cho Hyun-woo.

As things stand Germany are through because of their head-to-head record with Sweden. But a Swedish goal in Ekaterinburg would send the world champions out.

Toni Kroos whips the free-kick in but it's headed away by a South Korea player.

Free-kick to Germany as Joshua Kimmich goes down, holding his leg, after a tackle from Moon Seon-min.

The Germany full-back gets up holding his leg but he's fine to play on.

Germany should have started the game with a bit more intensity. Joachim Low spoke about not panicking, but they really need to start popping the ball about quicker than they are.

The first yellow card is for South Korea's Jung Woo-young, who went studs-up on Jonas Hector.
