| 0:00.0 | Okay, that is the end of the Sweden-South Korea game. |
| 0:03.8 | Quite dull. A 1-0 victory to Sweden, a penalty scored from Captain Andreas Granfist. |
| 0:10.9 | We don't have that much to say about it, to be honest. |
| 0:13.6 | I mean, I suppose the interesting way to look at this is how it might assist us in imagining the outcome of the rest of the group. |
| 0:20.9 | The game yesterday between Germany and Mexico was much more exciting to probably much |
| 0:26.5 | better teams, who it seems obvious now are likely to proceed unless Germany massively |
| 0:33.4 | cock up against Sweden, Alex? |

| 1:19.2 | Chu did South Korea Republic really offer anything to give us hope against Mexico or against Germany |
| 1:25.1 | I mean there'd be different sort of games for both of those |
| 1:27.7 | won't they? But I mean it would seem obvious they're probably going to finish bottom of the |
| 1:31.8 | group. Yeah, I mean you might think against Mexico and also potentially even against Germany with |
| 1:37.0 | the way the German fullbacks were playing that Song Himin would get a bit more space to be able |
