the first goal will be crucial for any success in the match and tournament imo. i hope we play with our teeth showing and not timidly. if we're gonna go out, might as well go out with flair. but then that could lead to a 0-5
2-0 Korea - Son, Hwang Hee-chan. EDIT: I have a strange feeling that Lee Seung-woo will get an assist.
lee yong will exploit the space behind forsberg and we will be just fine. /s i still haven't seen enough LSW and LJS on the pitch together, and i think they can cause some good chaos with their energy and pressing early on. no thanks to MSM starting. and i'd like to see some early shots to gain some momentum and confidence
Im taking the redeye and arriving to ny at 6 am. Game is at 8 am my local time and luckily, there is a soccer bar right by where i live that will be open (im on vacation). Super excited for this. That being said, a lot of you seem to be predicting a low scoring game. I actually think it will feature 4 goals or more. I see a 2-2 draw or 3-2 sweden. We shall see. Obviously hope im wrong, and we win. But with mexico beating germany and brazil drawing against switzerland, i think the football gods will balance things out and have the more "superior teams" be favorable for tomorrow's matches.
Wasn't it revealed that his "trick" was relying on the fact that the Swedes wouldn't be able to tell us apart cause we all look alike, lol. yeah guy, I'm pretty sure they're going to be able to quickly tell which one is Son.
This type of soft crap coming out of well-known idiots like Park Moon-Sung (starting at around 5:00) is why the KNT has gotten so damn soft. They are probably surrounded by people spouting this sort of crap. You think when the Mexican team was in complete disarray there were people associated w the team saying crap like this? "wahhhh just let the players enjoy their dreams coming true wahhhh" Damn that little speech at the end just pissed me off. These are gd professional athletes. This isn't thef*cking little league world series. sorry all, i am on edge right now bc of the game, lol.
I realize Korea is the away team but was wondering about jerseys since FIFA can be a bit weird about these things (Brazil, Switzerland both were their home jerseys yesterday I believe). Anyway loads of Swedes everywhere. Stadium will be all yellow.
