South Korea can afford no more slip-ups, says Stielike


(Reuters) - South Korea head coach Uli Stielike has labelled Tuesday's Group A World Cup qualifier against Syria at the Seoul World Cup Stadium a "must-win" match after his side succumbed to a 1-0 loss in China last week.

The defeat left second-placed South Korea four points behind leaders Iran, while fourth-placed Syria beat Uzbekistan last week to move within two points of an automatic qualification spot with four games remaining.
