Man I feel so bad for Son. No time to rest at all. And I just realized JWY is not in the squad. Am I dreaming? Also, it seems like LCY lost his spot.. Edit: nvm.. looks like both LCY and JWY are injured.
Love the Kim Tae Hwan call up. One of the few guys on this team that will play with some tenacity. Overall, everyone is deserving but Na Sang Ho.
Isnt son joining military training for a month I know he even delayed start date for CL final. I hope he tells bento to ******** off
can't help but cringe at J League based players KNT call up each time. except Gu SY, all of them are having terrible season.. including, not even making the bench at times for various reasons. not a fan of K League based players too (Jeonbuk FBs are garbage). i really want to see some sweeping change, include some fresh face like Kim DW of Daegu instead of constantly calling up "fringe" players simply as practice cone.
i'm impressed that soccer is such a big deal in japan... the j league 1,2,3 attendances are impressive... i personally enjoy watching japanese soccer... i think south korea and japan are the two best asian soccer countries... with that being said and also being neighoring countries... if we combine the population of south korea and japan it's more than the entire population of south europe... as a world soccer fan...my opinion is south european soccer is more fun to watch then central european soccer or any other regional europe
Yea, why aren't we calling him up? And why is Lee Jung-yup on the squad? How does Bento even know who he is? What Lee Jung-yup even alive? What's going on?
Hong Jeong-ho or Kim Min-hyeok should have been in there instead of Park Ji-soo or Kwon Kyung-won. Kim Kee-hee is injured. Also, he's been average with Seattle this year. He looks lost when Chad Marshall isn't his CB partner. It's going to get a lot tougher for him since Chad Marshall retired last week and his back-up was Roman Torres. Torres is a terrible defender.
Don't know if these tweets are true or not, but I don't understand how Lee Jung-hyup would fit into his tactics/system. Also kind of confused on how Lee Yong and Hong Chul keeps on getting called up when it's obvious they don't fit into Bento's system. They can't defend and are terrible going forward. Bento on why he left out K League’s scoring and assist leaders: “Whether a player is playing in Asia or Europe has no bearing on my squad selection. What’s important is how he’ll fit into our style of play. Players will struggle to convince me with just their statistics alone.”— Steve Han • 한만성 (@realstevescores) May 27, 2019 Bento's really talking about club performances when he called up someone like Na Sang-ho. The dude is benched by a 17 year old. Bento on selecting Kim Tae-hwan and Son Jun-ho for the first time: “Their performances at club level convinced me that their abilities could be translated into performing internationally. We’ll see if that’s the case. I’ll decide if they’ll play based on how they do in training.”— Steve Han • 한만성 (@realstevescores) May 27, 2019 Whoever is scouting for the KNT is doing a terrible job.
not sucking but not good either.. like Miura. anyways, i don't think KFA scout J League. they constantly choose players in J League but not based on actual form or whatever. for example, Hwang UJ in general.. imo, is awful player. KNT had an excuse to call him up last season as he had his one lucky season like he had at K League. however, it is clear.. the guy is useless. he can only score when he plays against youth teams much younger than him (Asian Games) or reserve teams (cup competition). literally.. offers nothing .... Kim SG = needs a new club as he is sacrificed for the big names to play at Kobe. at the same time, even when he starts occasionally .. Kobe leaks goals for fun Na SH = comes off the bench for Nagai for garbage mins edit - i really don't understand K League call ups too. Kim TH? what's the point of calling him up? he isn't going to play... i mean, 3 RBs? the guy doesn't add anything.. and especially as 29+ yr old, doesn't have much to offer moving forward. the same for Son JH... again, doubt he plays. Jeonbuk FBs are piss poor in general. can't understand Bento ignoring Hong JH & Kim MH. both should be called up & should start for KNT instead of two late 20 CSL based players being called up to be practice cones. Park JH is the only worthwhile LB Korea has.. and he.. again, is ignored. if I remember correctly, Korea conceded zero goals in the last 1st round of WCQs. this is the right time to transition in young & new players. pointless to continue on with a group who failed at WC & Asian Cup.. uggh.
I came looking to shite on China for this unnecessary U18 fiasco and to ask for our trophy back. I don't see this anywhere. Where can I submit a request to get it returned to me?
China is gonna China. Nothing is going to change that. As for the trophy. Who cares. Its a micky mouse tournament.
