Out of that list, Holland would probably be the best with Uruguay a close second

In terms of land mass, I dont think S. Korea is to big; then again, that was a dodgy tournament.

south korea has sixty million citizens they are quite big

since the peninsula is small they should be better in tight spaces, fighting for headers and using strength. they are not too good tho

Always love seeing one of the less favorite countries do better!
