South Korea's national football team's Dutch coach said on Saturday that the squad are all prepared for the tune-up match against Ghana in Edinburgh on Sunday.

"All players are fit for the final game before we're going to Germany," Advocaat told reporters after afternoon training session in Murray Park, the training pitch owned by the local football club Rangers.

"Everybody can score goals, it dosn't matter who is to score," he said bluntly for the question of who will be expected to score.

Referring to the starting members for the opening match of World Cup finals against Togo, he said: "Tomorrow I'll play (the) best players."


During the past three warm-up matches, they beat Bosnia and Herzegovina 2-0 and drew with Senegal and Norway.

Sunday's match will give the South Korean team a chance to experience African football once again. They were held to a 1-1 draw with 2002 World Cup quarterfinalists Senegal in Seoul last month.

"(The) majority of (Sunday's players) will be in the team, but not all," the Dutchman said of his first-choice players for the opening match against Togo. "I will keep thinking it for the whole week."

Asked about Ghana he joked that he did not know much about the team, "except that they came from Africa," adding that, "like always, it is more important what we can do (in the friendly match)."
