    Why would you say anything negative about the country and not the team?

    I think both China and Qatar games are true tests of whether Iran/South Korea deserve to be title contenders.

    I think we did good against Qatar because we played the game without 4 vital injured players..

    moving forward china will be a much bigger threat to koreas well being whether it be politics economics or welfare. many would argue they are already there. eventually japan and korea will have to come to terms and look to work together. itd help fast track the process if japan wasnt so backwards though. their unwillingness to tackle societal issues and objection to their no longer a superpower country reality are holding everyone back including themselves

    Then why would you guys say anything about the penis sizes of Koreans? even after I showed a medical journal where Iranians are measured to be even smaller there.

    Son will play better against Qatar. Likewise LSW. But that won't be enough. LCY ruined this AC. If someone died in his family I would understand but this is comical.

    yes and no. china is def a threat but the US don't want that sort of influence from China in asia and across the world, and will resist such a takeover. it's already happening through trump and the trade war (not that i condone him)

    i just hope 공한증 continues in soccer :)

    After playing Qatar maybe 1000x in the last 10 years, I can tell you that Qatar's best player is suspended for the game and so is their "Ngolo Kante".. both Sudanese btw.

    As long as Korea doesn't give any penalties to Akram Afif's Oscar-worthy dives or any cheap set piece goals, you guys have this.

    Our key liability RB Lee Yong isn't out, so that's not good for us.

    my Vietnamese friend FB messaged me that last week and I talked so much shit about Xavi. He's got Iran/China right, Iran/Japan (likely) and if Korea shits the bed.... (hopefully not, I don't want the UN national team anywhere near the top).

    They're claiming that a lot of them are Qatari, but it's almost certainly nonsense. They've been importing African kids for two decades now. They hide behind the fact that some of these players have Arab names too, but if you dig deep you realize they're Iraqis, Egyptians, Jordanians, Saudis etc. When your goali has to communicate with the defense in English, you know something ********y is going on.

    Conspiracy: the ball is overly inflated and grass extremely watered for a high, rapid and random ball trajectory which definitely benefits some teams (counter attacking arabic teams) rather than others. There are so many high bounces and horrible touches by players across the whole competition, even by the JNT which always displays wonderful touches. The grass part was conveyed by STY as well.

    Of course they'll do everything for the sake of their advantages. I'm sick of this grassrolling teams advancing in the tournament. They are here just to destroy the beauty of football. As a fan of this sport, it's very frustrating to watch them play tbh.

    Yesterday it was obvious our players had a difficult time predicting how the ball will bounce and our defenders couldnt pick out the timing for clearances. I dont think our players just randomly went full retard mode yesterday. The players have been fully capable of making quick clearances in previous matches, but yesterday there were a lot of times they would hesitate for easy clearances.

    As far as grassrolling goes, Iran do that a lot too. It is just that currently there is no AFC team strong enough to force Iran to do it. If the new generation of Korean players mature as scheduled and KCH and others recover from injuries, Iran may revert back to that playing style when playing against Korea and we all know how good they are at it as seen from the last world cup. But in bigsoccer we are not supposed to call it grassrolling because of the supermod you-know-who.

    Of course Korea can... I said if. I haven't watched a single Africa 11 game this time around so I have no idea how they're getting results.

    I'm not aware of any mod threatening a yellow card for going off topic.

    Yasukuni_God is banned from the Korean forums.

    Fector is banned. His other accounts are Justamoment and YellowPanther.
