Lee Chun-soo is confident South Korea will book their place in the last 16 of the World Cup finals by beating France on Sunday.

The Koreans failed to impress in defeating ten-man Togo 2-1 in their opening Group G match, but France were equally unconvincing during their laboured goalless draw against Switzerland.

"In the first match it's normal to be nervous. That feeling will be gone by the second game," said Lee, who scored the equaliser against Togo with a stunning free-kick.

"France are a team with big-name players.

"But we are used to playing against famous defenders with big reputations, it's not a big change for us. All players have their weak spots."
