2002 FIFA World Cup Korea-Japan: First ever AFC team to reach the Semi-finals at the World Cup in Korean Football and World Cup history. 2006 FIFA World Cup Germany: First ever World Cup win on foreign soil in Korean Football history (Korea 2-1 Togo 2006/06/13). 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa: First ever World Cup Round of 16 on foreign soil in Korean Football history. 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia: First ever AFC team to quickly knock the defending champions/Germany out of the World Cup in Korean Football and World Cup history (Korea 2-0 Germany 2018/06/27).
Quick counters, set pieces, and great goalkeeping are a few of the things that have been our strengths in previous World Cups. That's exactly how we won the game today. IMO we need a manager who can build on those strengths. No more fancy Spanish passing. Leave that shit for Japan. Korean soccer should be built on speed, toughness, and direct play.
I think it matches the Korean ethos so well to play a strong, quick and fiery defensive/counterattacking football. Beat the shit of our opponents on defence then launch long balls to quick, big players like SHM. Easy.
ah im telling myself not to get too hyped over CHW b/c he's probably going to end up in Sangju soon anyways

Is he playing in the asian games? For the love of god, give this man exemption. He's reached deity status.
