Full props to LKI. Che Jun, the goal scorer, said in the immediate interview afterwards, that he sits next to LKI at meals and they often talked about set pieces. This helped them to be on the same page and as soon as they made eye contact things were set in motion. He said LKI put in a lovely ball and he put the ball in.
Ukraine will be physically less dominating than Senegal or Ecuador, but they seem to have better tactics (presses as a team, keeps formation while defending). Technically not amazing but not terrible either. Korea will have a good shot to take this whole thing..
I promised to sing the Aegukga if the main NT beat Germany. It happened. I shall sing Arirang Hollo and upload it, if these young men beat Ukraine. sorcery mode on
Croatia have never really had success in the U-20 range. Actually, the following U-20 Euro would be our first ever. LKI has better set pieces than Modrić. Of that I'm sure.
Popov who was sent off against Italy is Ukraine's captain and apparently their best player. He's scored 3 goals in the tournament.
I am of Vietnamese origin but when I see Korea I feel like I am Korean. I felt my heart beating as the final whistle approaches and my heart is happy when I saw the Korea won.
Yes, but Korea were the bigger underdogs throughout the tournament. Fatigue doomed Croatia, but the Korean coach has rotated plenty, and Korean odds aren't bad.
Amazing save. Great reflexes. Plus he doesn't lose concentration after the final whistle blew he was half celebrating but still kept his eyes on the ball and dove to parry the redundant shot on goal.
