South Korea captain Hong Myung-bo says his team don't fear anybody ahead of the World Cup semi-final against Germany.

Hong insisted all the Korean players are confident they can make it to Sunday's final at Yokohama.

Hong said: "We don't fear any strong opponent, we're not scared of anyone.

"We regard the Seoul stadium as our home ground and everybody is looking forward to playing there.

"We have defeated Italy and Spain and if we play well we can get the same the result as before.

"We feel we can beat anyone if we play like we did against Italy and Spain.

"We're confident that we'll be going to Yokohama for the final."

The centre-half has warned Korea must not concede many corners or free-kicks in dangerous positions.

"They're very tall and good in the air and we should be cautious about that," he said.

"We can't give chances to them and they are so good from set-pieces like corners and free-kicks."
