This thread could finish with just 1 match or maybe the dream match with Real Madrid (even if Jeonbuk will get thrashed, just playing Real Madrid would be a dream). Ulsan had a horrendous CWC last time around, and Jeonbuk will need to be wary of that, especially as the opponent will be a Mexican side who are always tough.
Man I want to see them against RM, but Club America is a strong side. Also Jeonbuk hasn't been playing too well lately.

The question is, will 순실리케 attend the match? I highly doubt he gives a shit about 전북 winning the ACL.
Great thing is LJS won't be rusty come January....couple of days resting and it's ready to play for his new club, whatever it will be.
As odd as it sounds, they are sponsored by the American Bakery co. which has ties to Mexican multinational bakery companies. Also, Mexico is one of the main countries outside of the U.S. where BIMBO products are distributed and sold.
Couldn't recognize many players from this picture? Only two players from America, Guille Ochoa and C. Blanco. Some names from the Jeonbuk squad?
21 Kwon Sun-taae - current 2 Choi Chul-soon - current 22 Kim Hyung-beom - retired, FK specialist 4 Choi Jin-cheol - legend 12 Jeon Gwang-hwan - long serving member for Jeonbuk, now Bucheon FC player 8 Jeong Jong-gwan - died 2011 after leaving a note and committing suicide. He was related to match fixing. 16 Lim You-hwan -familiar player, left on a sour ending with Jeonbuk 15 Ze Carlos 6 Kim Hyun-soo 11 Wang Jung-hyun 5 Kim Young-sun
No chances for Jeonbuk then....now there are only LJS and Leonardo left to do "bingo" and playing the B squad in the CWC.
He will. It's being held in Japan where he can just hop on a plane for a short haul. He seems to love to watch Korea's no. 1 striker LYJ in Japan anyways. And watch him justify not calling up any Jeonbuk player for the near future because, "zthey were not good against Club America"
I believe that was a year ago or so. He is not playing professionally anymore. According to an interview article about his post-retirement life, he is running his own business and playing 조기축구 with Cho Jae-jin.
