16th: SOUTH KOREA
An honest team. An attacking side. No histrionics. No trying to get other players sent off. Just good, open, attacking football. Yeah, they were never going to win it, but a side that reached the semis in 2002 has to be taken seriously, and they were unlucky not to take their last 16 game into extra time. But they were one of the most enjoyable teams to watch. They knew how to score goals and they can feel very proud of their contribution to the 2010 World Cup.
