The national soccer team will face Kuwait Wednesday in its fifth World Cup qualifier.

A tie can also help the team qualify for its sixth World Cup, but the team is determined to win with a three-pronged attack of Lee Dong-gook, Park Ju-young and Cha Doo-ri.

South Korea is second in Group A to Saudi Arabia and has beaten Kuwait in their last three meetings, including a 2-0 home victory in February.

Kuwait, now third in Group A, appears ready for an all-out war with its rehiring of former coach Mohamed Abrahim after a 3-0 loss to Saudi Arabia Friday.
