The national team has been crap tho. Getting eliminated in the group stages twice in a row at the WBC. Losing to the Netherlands (2x) and Israel. It's embarrassing considering that the KBO is supposedly one of the best baseball leagues in the world behind the MLB and NPB. KBO all stars struggling against amateur teams at the 2018 Asian games.
Given the choice between KSY and his wife, I would choose...his wife. But still he's been amazing this game.
NTH needs to start games against AFC opponents and be a bench player at best against world-class opponents
It just occurred to me, KSY is the type to get the most heated by the stunts the Chileans were pulling. It lit a fire under his ass.
It's hard to talk to someone not facing the truth and reality. Baseball itself is still 2x more popular than soccer. If I had to pick, I would much prefer us being way better in soccer and being way more popular in soccer. But the reality is, baseball is still strong as ever in Korea.
Soccer NT is and always will be more popular than Baseball NT. But baseball both in the youth level, domestic league level, and ratings/attendance level, is still higher than soccer.
Do you not understand that I'm not comparing popularities? Baseball is more popular, that's a fact. But several factors, including the recent events which have made baseball and its stars less attractive, are helping the KNT. Please just read up on what portal comments and other online communities think of Korean baseball right now.
