[2015 FIFA U-17 World Cup: Group Stages] Korea vs England 2015/10/23 [R]

Willock. Decent dribbler but he forces everything to his left foot (i maintain he's a one trick pony).

Da Silva (LB) is playing well for England.

 

Our captain is an absolute rock in the central defense. I love watching him play. As others have said, our defense has been the standout feature of this team thus far. The cover defense, whether set or in transition, has been outstanding. No one panics and loses their head, and you can see that the kids are well drilled. I don't remember if it was against Brazil or Guinea, but there was a moment where I could see that the back four was an absolute straight line across the field while the other team was attacking, and when one piece moved, everyone else knew how to shift to assume the space left open. I've never seen that before in the KNT, or maybe I just never noticed it lol.

 

Interesting, both Kim JY and Park MS in. I guess Choi JC really wants this match. I suppose the final card will be Lee SW as long as an injury doesn't happen.

 

That fvckin asshole kicked Park Myungsoo in the back of the head.

 

Now we know where tony pulis looks for players.

 

classic england, literally all they do is cross

 

GK is a beast

 

aight yo, who's the Genghis Khan and why am I getting blamed for it?

 

Their crosses have been better at least than going alone.

Clearly PL teams are ignoring all this great talent and their new work permit rules will result in exemplary English PL stars.

 

Btw as great as our defense has been, it's a bit disconcerting to see how hard it is for this team to score goals. Of course getting LSW and JGH back in full form will help, but it doesn't bode well for the knockout stages.

 

Oh Se Hun getting ready, no LSW today.

 

Every match they've missed point blank chances

Today though have been hurt by the sloppy buildup reducing our chances.

 

who knew that our kids would be complimented for our defense

 

the run was a bit selfish by that guy.

 

We Top The Group!!!

 

The group is ours!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Not a fancy match but solid defense, 7 points, top of the group. Can't complain. Good job lads!

 

England sucked, omg.
they couldn't score one goal on us.

 

when's the last time we qualified out of a group w/o conceding any goals? impressive by our boys and of course choi jin cheul

 

We're FIRST in our group!!! And we rotated as expected. My goodness England were worse than expected.

 

Some dangerous moments late in the half there, got lucky with a few. But still, overall we really limited key shooting chances for them.

Seriously though wow, 3 games at a world stage and 1st place with 0 goals conceded... who would have ever thought. What a defensive line. I'd be confident against any offence in this tournament as long as they keep this up.

Offensively though things need to be picked up. Time for Lee SW to raise his game as well as others.

 

The Asian Cup. But at the world stage, this has definitely gotta be the first.
