    Iraq is playing better now. They are just sloppy at last touch.

    It seems like we are practising our defense?

    If we are, it's worrying. We are giving them way too much space to shoot.

    or we are testing their offence, trying to see how much shots they'll miss with all the space we're giving them.

    It was coming at you. You should blame yourself. You could easily score the second goal instead of going into defensive fold.

    Bro who cares, 1st in our group, rested most of our players, didn't go all out on a useless game, and no injuries.

    A point I'd take over injuries in a heartbeat, and Yoo In-soo or should I say Yookubu was utter shit in a practice match.

    Pretty crappy second half but I kind of expected it with us having a goal lead and the first place spot being pretty safely in our hands. There wasn't really much motivation for our side to play 100% till the end here but nonetheless it was not that great to see the defence fall apart so easily at the end. Kudos to Iraq for keeping up the pressure and humbling our defence. At least our players got a good reality check heading into the most important match of the tournament.

    Some players (quite a few) showed today why they are bench players and should remain that way throughout this competition. That second half, especially towards the 30 min mark, was atrocious.

    You have to give credit to Iraq though. They played with impressive intensity and skill.

    Definitely not a team I'd like to face with the Olympic ticket on the line, they always give us trouble at this level. I'm glad we got to face them at the group stages instead of quarter or semi finals.

    I personally believe Iraq game wasn't meaningless game. It's nice to rest the best players entering the knockout stage. But when the tourney goes to knockout stages, it's really anybody's ballgame. The likes of Jordan or hoju can beat us in the knockout stage. Which is why finishing the third group game on a high note and carry the same momentum entering the knockout stage is important. The team weren't able to finish their third game against Iraq like we hoped. Let's hope in the knockout stage, we can bounce right back and return to winning ways. It's really serious now. Saturday's going to be a nervous one. Game time starts 8:30am eastern time I believe.

    Korea and Iraq are going to advance to the semifinals. Group D is very very weak compared to the rest of the groups.

    Thank god we did not face each other in the knock-out stages as usual. Hope to see you in Rio with us :)

    Just watched and some of that grass rolling and whining for cards was shameful. The one in the first ten minutes where the guy pretended he was kicked in the head was particularly awful.
