YOKOHAMA (Reuters) - Four of South Korea's surprise World Cup side, which against all expectations has reached the semi-finals, have been picked by a FIFA panel of experts in a 33-strong short-list for its all-star team of the tournament.
Ahn Jung-hwan, who scored the golden goal winner in the shock second-round 2-1 victory over Italy, is included along with captain and defender Hong Myung-bo, midfielder Yoo Sang-chul and goalkeeper Lee Woon-jae.
The feared Brazilian three R's -- Ronaldo, Ronaldinho and Rivaldo -- are also included along with German's five-goal striker Miroslav Klose who takes on South Korea on Tuesday in Seoul in the first semi-final.
Turkey, who contest a semi-final with favourites Brazil on Wednesday in Saitama, have keeper Rustu Recber, defender Alpay Ozalan and striker Hasan Sas included.
The Japanese midfield pairing of Hidetoshi Nakata and Junichi Inamoto were also in the 33 but surprisingly, England's impressive defender Rio Ferdinand failed to win a place.
Pele, who won the World Cup three times in 1958, 1962 and 1970 with Brazil, will announce the final all-star World Cup team on June 28 in Yokohama, two days before the final in the same Japanese city.
The 10-strong panel of coaches is headed by respected coach Jozef Venglos who coached the former Czechoslovakia at the 1990 finals in Italy.

Goalkeepers: Oliver Kahn (Germany), Marcos (Brazil), Iker Casillas (Spain), Rustu Recber (Turkey), Lee-Woon-jae (South Korea)

I'd say Kahn deserves to be in there as a goalkeeper, but why isn't Brad Freidel in it???
He was great this tournament.

I can't see how they failed to put Rio Ferdinand in their and put in Koreas goalkeeper and not Seaman. A lot of these are simply because they scored a couple even though they weren't amazing when they played.
At least Hasan Sas is in there. Bar all the diving he has had a great tournament so far.
