PJS's early retirement really ********ed us up, though. Hopefully, PJS says something like, 'You deserve a break. But from my experience, the NT may not recover well from a loss of a captain type. Always be open to going back if they need you.'
I'm not even sure if Ki will play top level football in 2022. He has said that his knees hurt a lot. Similar to Park I could imagine an early retirement to focus on post-player career. I wouldn't mind him as a veteran (like HMB in 2002) in Qatar, but as I said, I think that scenario is pretty unlikely.
SHM makes it onto F365... https://www.planetfootball.com/vide...n-produces-outrageous-nutmeg-for-south-korea/
They r just uneducated + ignorant as fk... Ronaldo (Brazil one), Messi, etc... all did it to "thank" their fans when they visited Asia. The fact that Mexicans took selfies, doing the same gesture to thank us + say they are also Korean for beating Germany says it all. I am wondering if they will still laugh it off if someone does monkey gestures to them and says "chill, it's just a joke". BTW, a bunch of Chile players filmed themselves saying "Open your eyes, retards" to Korean ppl in the middle of the street in Suwon.
"His buildup skills" according to SHITILIKE and STY, and he's always the one who makes miserable pass mistakes in our third, which lead to conceding.
In spite of the idiots on Chile's national team, I still want to visit Mendoza, Portillo and Santiago for some wine, skiing and sightseeing... For the most part, I'm relieved that our KNT members (other than that AG squad) are good ambassadors and representatives for us.
You want height, put Jeong Tae Wook in. Why not give Yun Young Sun more of a run? He played CB against Germany.
Kim Young Gwon and Kim Min Jae should be obvious starters. Behind them, Kwon Kyung Won, Yun Young Sun, Kim Min Hyeok and Hong Jeong Ho should fight for the remaining two places. Jung Seung Hyun is overrated and Oh Ban Suk too slow. Jang Hyun Soo is just bad. So these 3 I don't want in the NT. If Bento wants to develop a young CB it should be Cho Yu Min imo. Or Lee Jae Ik if he is a better player when the Asian Cup is over.
If you really want to offend a chilean, call him "peruvian", "bolivian" or "argentinian" (mostly refered to citizens of neighboring countries). Here in Chile, we don't give any crap for racism comments, as we are used to using it between ourselves, by the slightiest similarity to anyone of any given race. And as another issue, not least important, is that we don't give any race, a meaning of inferiority. To certain extent, many chileans would even feel pride, if you call them as "indios". Chileans aren't racists, but as we are not perfect, nevertheless (and also unfortunately), we are extremely xenophobic.
I beg to differ on the subject of being called indio. The only exception to this would be for colo-colinos and their "cacique" moniker... but even then, you hear things like "indio reculiao" being used as common insults towards peruvians and bolivians. There's a sense of shame in the metropolitan areas where people do not show pride in mapuche or aborigine heritage. if anything, there's a social stigma attached to having an aboriginal last name like "huaiquipan" vs having a last name like "larrain" or "errazuriz". And i agree that being called "peruvian" or "bolivian" is considered a slur (and I think it's super offensive towards these two nations as they have some of the most amazing inca heritage and culture). But being called argentinian carries less weight, probably due to the fact that their nation has stereotypically been labelled as a white nation (due to the italian influence). Not to carry this with anecdotal evidence, but two of my friends are chileans that were born in chile and lived in argentina for a long time and they ended up taking more pride in being from argentina than in chile. Whether you think these guys are shitheads, that's for you to decide, but that was my impression of their perceptions of chile vs argentina and I say this with an objective point of view. One thing is clear though, that chile does have extremely xenophobic views towards their neighbors, but this is something that characterizes the region as a whole. Going back to the initial problem of this so called "racism".. i don't particularly see it as racism but more of an issue related to lack of diversity and education. Common decency would make you think twice before berating your hosts, but a lot of these soccer players weren't taught such manners since most of them come from very poor neighborhoods.
sorry, are you trying to justify your players' bigoted behavior on our home soil? what you do in chile, keep in chile. you don't need to do it across borders against a people group who are not your own. you can discriminate amongst yourselves all you want because at the end of the day, they are still your people of your race, culture and nationality. if it offends its only on an individual level within your country, not on a national level against millions of others. this kind of behavior shows a lack of understanding that you should respect how people are and not cross certain boundaries. i will not speak against all chileans, only the dummies your national team that had the audacity to pull such a stunt on our home ground. complete lack of professionalism and civics education. sorry, but telling asians to open their eyes has a HUGE undertone of this "meaning of inferiority" if you ask me. i did not appreciate your post one bit.
either his throat is worn out from constantly yelling at JHS and KJH. Or he got sick from a lowered immune system after traveling long distances, jet-jagg, stress, and physical exertion from training. I would say its b/c of the 1st option
Truth is, that chileans origins are as diverse as the stars in the heavens. We are a mixture from lots of cultures from almost all parts of the world. It is true that some chileans may feel offended by being called as "indians", but that would be the case of the minority. For the biggest part of the population, chileans feel a very big pride of their Mapuche heritage, as if you knew a little bit about the history of Chile, the mapuche culture was the only native american population whom was never conquered by the spaniard empire, during their conquest of America. They not only defeated them at war at the battlegrounds, but also destroyed many of their cities and forts, during their attemt to the colonization of Chile. The "pacification" of the Mapuche's in Chile, only happened long after Chile had won its independence from Spain. And as you mentioned Colo-colo, is not for nothing that Colo-colo is the most popular football club in Chile, by very far to whichever club comes next, and also the representative of the most common people in Chile. (btw, I'm their fan, so when it gets to it, whatever I say, will not be unbiased)) Colo-colo, the person or individual, in Chile's history was a "cacique" (that's how indian chiefs were called by the Mapuche's) who actually confronted the Spanish conquerors (and btw, he lost and was killed by them).
Can we have a civilized discussion on this without resorting to attacks? You're lowering yourself to the same level of these chilean footballers. I'm by no means defending these morons for doing the slanted eyes gesture. I think it was incredibly stupid and thus i'm blaming it on the lack of intelligence of such footballers. This, paired with their shitty upbringing brings some more nuance to the so called racism. Do they actively want to exterminate all asians and send them to death camps? No. Did they do these gestures with malicious intent? Maybe. But Chileans are known to mock every single type of person, from blacks to natives to fat and balds, etc. Again, not an excuse, but it explains their stupid behavior because this type of stupid behavior is common in Chile. Had these morons grown up in a more diverse environment like say for instance in the US, I don't think this would've happened. Not everything is so black and white. I know because I lived in Chile for most of my life.
