threat rank （イングランドへの脅威度）で 何と日本は北朝鮮以下の単独最下位で☆１つ。
まあ、妥当だろう。これがサカ豚が大好きな「世界が～世界が～」の見方です。

Japan:
Regular qualifiers, but Japan have struggled to impress on the big stage and they lack the pedigree of their Asian rivals South Korea.
A rapidly-improving nation thanks to strength of the J-League,
Japan remain unlikely to progress beyond the group stages and South Africa could prove to be no more than another stagepost on the nation's learning curve.
Threat rating: 1/5
North Korea:
Having qualified for the first time since 1966, North Korea will provide novelty value if nothing else.
Qualification was built on resolute defending and a strong team ethic amongst players who train together on a daily basis,
so opponents can expect a frustrating 90 minutes against the North Koreans, who proved by beating Italy in 1966 that they have the ability to shock.
Threat rating: 2/5
South Korea:
Don't expect the South Koreans to win the World Cup, but of all the so-called minnows, they are potentially the most threatening to the established nations.
Manchester United midfielder Ji-sung Park typifies their relentless work ethic and the 2002 semi-finalists will expect to progress to the knock-out stages.
Threat rating: 4/5
