[International Friendly] Korea vs Czech Republic 2016/06/05 [R]

So Kwon Sun Tae has the family name Kwon? And if was the first of this generation would be?...Sun Tae?

 

I think it's like this:
Kwon is the family name
Sun is the generational name, so his siblings and cousins might have Sun as the first syllable in their name.
Tae is like his "unique" name. Or something.
I might be wrong, and also not every people follow this rule, especially the younger people.

 

No. Kwon is just a surname and Sun-Tae is a given name. Nothing more. Some family do the thing where siblings would have the same first syllable for their given name i.e. Kwon Sun-Jae, Kwon Sun-Tae, Kwon Sun-Ja, etc.. (these are just made up names) but that's about it. Nothing really significant.

 

Yeah, it's called 돌림, but not all families do that. Names in Korea hold a lot less history and significance than it does in Europe.

 

Yeah, not everyone do that. I guess it's just easier for the family though to organize names like that. Just need to remember the last syllable.

 

In italy the surname is (almost) always taken from your father.

 

Same in Korea. It's nothing different.

 

What's the Korean media response to this game?

Slovak people are making fun of their neighbors after the loss with the KNT

Like this comment:

Nechem sa cechom posmievat, ale ked som sa dozvedel ten vysledok, z chuti som sa zasmial.

I dont want to make fun of czech people, but when i found out about this result, with pleasure (others words dont make sense) i laughed hard.

 

A teraz ze som zistil ze vsetky goly dala Korea, smejem sa zas

And now that i have learnt that every goal was scored by the Korea, i'm laughing once more (once again)

 

HKY is so awkward

 

Some Koreans have 4-syllable names because some surnames are two syllables. Such as Doko and Namgoong.

so, combine 2 syllable surname with a 2 syllable first name, is 4 syllable name.
2+2=4.

 

@Marco91 @+PL+
this. thank you for posting.

 

the result convincingly shows that our fifa ranking should be in the 30s, and def not 50s.

 

I nominate this for post of the year awards.

 

This team needs a strong-minded leader like PJS... I doubt KSY is enough to lead this fragile team.

 

It actually showed the complete opposite.

 

KNT for the #1 world FIFA ranking. Lets do it.

 

Maybe in 50 years.

 

@gunitinug how would you feel if this came to fruition? We'll all be crazy!

 

Speaking about Fifa rankings, we just earned more points by beating a UEFA team that sits in the 30s in a friendly than beating an AFC team in a continental qualifier.

 

forget the ranking...win the cup

 

I'm not "convinced," and besides such rankings are not the types of things that require "convincing" anyway. FIFA rankings are not based on form only. It is based on several years of performance and performance in major tournaments such as the World Cup. If Korea wants to drastically improve its FIFA ranking, they must continue to perform well through the next World Cup cycle and even beyond that and play UEFA or CONMEBOL opponents more frequently (and do respectably in them whenever possible).

FIFA rankings are purely based on computations, so there is no possible way that they can be "wrong." If you think the formulas are biased or should be changed, this is another issue. If you place more value on ranking systems that require human assessments to be made based on each specific match, these are far different from FIFA rankings.
