Hopes were dashed late last night that South Korea might avoid a "group of death" scenario
at next year's World Cup in Russia.
South Korea was drawn in an extremely tough group at Friday's draw ceremony in Moscow.
In Group F with South Korea are the defending champions Germany,...
Mexico -- who are ranked 16th in the FIFA world rankings -- and Sweden -- ranked 18th.
South Korea is by far the lowest ranked team in Group F at 59th.
Led by coach Shin Tae-yong, South Korea will open their World Cup campaign against Sweden
on June 18th.
They'll play Mexico on June 23rd and then Germany four days later.
South Korea has met Germany and Mexico at a World Cup before but they've never played
Sweden at the world's biggest sporting event.
