I actually think he will go. He's very hot and cold, and they might be hoping that he is hot during the WC. Of course, how would they know when he won't be in the lineup to begin with.
if he can disturb 14 algerian defence hes good enough to disturb swedish and mexican defenders and i repeat he hasnt looked this lively since the tackle he suffered during the asian games. there was a period two years ago when he looked like he was ready to raise his form but he got injured again IF his form has truly returned i dont see why he shouldnt be in the squad. he would be a phenomenal option to bring from the bench
Suk will go despite a slim chance at being selected for the March friendlies, and even if he doesn't get selected in March, he still has the final friendlies in May. Recovery isn't an issue but more so it will take a bit of time to get back in form as Lee Young-pyo stated, although he'll be fine imo.
Lee Chang-min suffered a fractured rib during the Jamaica friendly and flew back to Jeju. He'll be out for 3 weeks.
Sorry if this was already posted but did anyone else see this posted on ESPN’s fb page? https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=1955027581210655
Saudi Arabia and Costa Rica are both based in St. Petersburg. Maybe a pair of friendlies with the two before the game vs. Sweden?
I'd rather us not waste the final friendlies vs those two. We'll have about 4 friendlies after March (2 in May and 2 in early June), so we need proper opponents before and after the send off like Iceland as I've mentioned before, and then there's Chile, but of course Senegal will need a sparring partner in place of Japan, so they'll most likely approach us soon.
You're right. I was thinking more about a light warm-up in Russia. Like few days before first kick-off.
Looks like I got a pending charge from FIFA, so I'll be at the Korea vs Sweden match hopefully SHM will score a few goals when he sees yellow in front of him. I'll be in Moscow for the Korea vs Mexico game so I'll probably go watch it at the Fan Fest there.

I think the mere fact that they are using words like possible shows how unlikely it is. As a manager, you don't say it's possible, you say it's doable.
No more words. Haven't they learned? Don't they realize we are tired of the same script every WC? It's about results now so shut it.
