[2016 AFC U23 Championships: Quarter Finals] Korea vs Jordan 2016/01/23 [R]

At least we've calmed things down a bit.

Kim Hyun got a case of Ji Dongwonitis and keeps drifting to the sides...

 

I dont think we calmed things down, rather Jordan has ran out of gas.

 

These Jordanese players REALLY love back heels, I've noticed...

 

Wow, such a tame open header, lucky us.

 

yay...

 

i wanna choke the life out of kim hyun's effort in the second half coming in as a sub.

 

MOM for us: The linesman.

 

Clearly Jordan was robbed, at least of chance of going to ET. And who knows what would have happened at that point?

Thank you, Mr. Incompetent Linesman. I bet he doesn't know that this is another step in the right direction for reconciliation betw Japan and Korea.

 

should be a tie game. i'd be angry if i was jordan

disappointing second half by korea. can't see it being any better in the next match with hwang heechan injured. i'm genuinely concerned for our place in the olympics

 

Well, a very unsettling second half, but the job is done. This was always going to be the most important and pressure packed match of the tournament (I really think this tournament format qualification is unfair), and now we get at least two shots at the Olympic ticket... if we lose two in a row at least we can admit that we don't deserve it.

 

That 4-4-2 diamond killed us, we had too many players up front but not many in between so made us more vulnerable to counter. Also some of our players just straight up suck.

 

Ryu was awful today. And Kim Hyun, I forgot he came on.

And Gu Sung-Yun showed why he wasn't the first choice keeper.

 

I knew the diamond formation is a bad idea. PYW cant handle it all on his own. We need to use 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1, even regular 4-2-2 is better

 

Just got so impatient and everyone was playing way too fast. Lack of mental composure horrible.

 

IMHO, it wasn't the diamond that was the problem. For one thing, Jordan didn't exploit the space in the wings. It was our mentality going into the 2nd half.

 

I think Kim had a cold.

 

Kim Dong-jun caught the flu.

 

Kim Dong Jun was sick. The surprising part was that I figured Lee CG would have been the backup but it was Gu SY, Lee CG must have really fallen off the competition map.

 

Ryu was terrible today. There was absolutely no chemistry between him and HHC, which defeated the purpose of having 2 FWDs.

 

the game completely turned the other way and the second half was jordan's half. we were so fortunate to come away with the win. sometime the break goes our way. i remember the unfortunate break we had back in 2006 world cup game against switzerland. heading into the semi finals, we just hope that heechan is ok to go. heechan came off the field from the injury he sustained himself.

edit: switching right away to tottenham game, son's playing while he probably doesn't know the result of this game. entering the locker room after the first half, he may check the result and know he can relax a little bit. like we all are now.

 

terrible. bunch of amateurs

 

great imagination heyhey
