First day win­ners in Group B, Ger­many and Ko­rea Re­pub­lic will fan­cy their chances of clinch­ing ear­ly quar­ter­fi­nals spots when the sec­ond round kicks off at the Dwight Yorke Sta­di­um, Ba­co­let, To­ba­go, to­day, from 4 pm. In the first match, Asian cham­pi­on, South Ko­rea will meet Mex­i­co and three hours lat­er, Ger­many plays South Africa. The South Ko­re­ans, 3-1 win­ner sover South Africa on Sun­day, will be con­fi­dent of a sec­ond straight win when they tack­le the Mex­i­cans, who were ham­mered 9-0 by a ram­pant Ger­many in their open­er.

South Africa has cap­tured the heart of the To­bag­on­ian fans with their styl­ish, speedy and spir­it­ed play. Un­for­tu­nate­ly for coach Solomon Lu­vhen­go's girls, they will meet the Ger­man jug­ger­naut next, which is led by the three-pronged at­tack of Lena Pe­ter­mann, Kyra Ma­li­nows­ki and Len Lotzen, who com­bined for eight goals in their team's record-break­ing 9-0 win, the biggest in the tour­na­ment's his­to­ry.
