[International Friendly] Korea vs Thailand 2016/03/27 [R]

Yes but why does the state of Asian, Korean or Thai football concern an Italian national? I am very puzzled.

 

Are you serious rn....
Do guys like John duerden not make sense either?

 

No, JD is a top-notch journo whom I respect a lot. I mean it's great that a foreigner is taking interest in Asian football but....

 

He seems to know as much as (or more than) some of the posters here..

 

Yes, fair enough, I have read some more threads in the meantime.

 

......

 

I actually understand GoonerDoz's skepticism. I think it's perfectly natural to have non-Koreans following our KNT now. The only problem is that out of all the non-Koreans that may follow KNT, you'd think Italians would be the last in the pecking order after 1966/2002. I initially thought he was a sock and I still have my doubts.

 

There are other non-Koreans here too, some posting quite regularly. And passing up on the opportunity to watch the KNT live in Thailand...you sure you can consider yourself Korean?

 

I didnt forget about the 2002 world cup and i used to hate KNT back then (i was 11)

Sure, you can have hard feeling about some national team but after 14 years...seriously.

 

I'm glad you have interest in Korean Football & National Team.

 

Thank you mate

 

I don't see why it matters whether or not an Italian supports our KNT. This isn't racial politics. We all share a common love of the KNT here regardless of race.

This is actually pretty nice to read. A lot of people always scream and shout "******** South Korea" whenever anything referring to the country or 2002 comes up.

 

it's usually the non-italians/spaniards who are more up in arms over 2002. We all know who those perps are.

 

If I was Italian, I would have hated on Chrisitan Vieri for missing this sitter on the 89th minute.

 

No, his passing range is short/limited nor does he go forward to support the offense. Built like a tank, extremely aggressive, covers a lot of ground but that's about it. His tackling needs work imo. At times, it is too rash & reckless (which results to him collecting cards often).

 

i love him at the underage level but lee chandong is at least 3-4 years of growth away from being considered a senior team member. and hed have develop really well to get there

 

There's also Hwang Ki Wook.

 

I did. We cant only blame the ref for this, we also have our sins for that elimination.

While watching the game, i was very worried cause we were tired and nervous, and then...

I'm sure the way we lost in 2002, was a motivation for the 2006 world cup (half of the squad was in Korea also)

 

RO16: Korea beats Italy; Italy wins 2006 WC
RO8: Korea beats Spain; Spain wins 2010 WC
RO4: Korea loses to Germany; Germany wins 2014 WC
Third place: Korea loses to Turkey; Turkey ain't next but it'd be hilarious if Brazil (who beat Germany in the 2002 final) won 2018 lol

 

Lol, i want to face Korea in 2018 then...so we will have granted another world cup later on.

 

I'm calling this now but France will win in 2018.

 

What a team they have....

 

evra is going to be 36 in 2018. I don't see him starting.

 

Yeah, someone tweeted that about the upcoming Euros.
