ARGENTINA VS SOUTH KOREA LAST MINUTE WORLD CUP BETTING TIPS

Popular UK bookmaker Blue Square have listed Argentina at a 1/2 price to beat out upstart side South Korea, who may just need a draw to get through to the next round. The South Korean side are trading at a 7/1 price and the draw is listed at 11/4. 
Lionel Messi's odds to score in the match are listed at 8/11 while Carlos Tevez is trading at 10/11. Messi is 9/1 to score in both halves and a slim 20/1 to score a hat-trick. Gonzalo Higuain is listed at 10/11. 

South Korea's Park Ji-Sung is priced at 4/1 to score a goal at any point in the match. He is 6/1 to score first for his side and that's not a bad bet as I don't expect South Korea to score too many, though I do think they're capable of scoring at least one 
I think the first half is really important in this match and if South Korea can keep the momentum going and repel Argentina's attacks then I think they have more than a chance of winning of the final 45 minutes. 
Over 2.5 goals pays out at a 6/5 price and that's a decent bet if you expect Argentina to run away with this one. Personally, it tells me that the bookmakers think the scoreline will be rather tight and that makes Blue Square worth a bet at 7/1, since I think they can sneak a goal at any point. 
A 2-1 result to South Korea is trading at 28/1 and a 1-0 result is priced at 16/1. The favoured correct score outcome looks to be a 1-0 result to Argentina at a 9/2 price with a 2-0 result at a 5/1 listing. 
Argentina are 10/11 to win the first half while the draw is priced at 6/5 and South Korea are 6/1. I think that the first half is the key variable here and if this match is a half-time draw then it's anyone's match. I think South Korea are definitely a value play and their type of football is a decent foil to Argentina. If the South American side doesn't have a few players stepping up, they could find more than they bargained for with South Korea.
