    can't tell if you are trolling or not but they don't.

    eventually these bad plays will catch up to us. the Brazil 0 - 5 loss tells you everything.

    We are playing at home to Ghana who have Kudus, Semenyo, Abu Francis and bunch of other players injured. They legit had 2 players playing for the first time kekw. Ghana is ranked 72 in Fifa Ranking. Fifa rankings are not always accurate but I don't even want to think what the first 30 ranked teams could do to Korea (like Brazil).

    The only player we realistically didn't have was Hwang in Beom. Imagine our team without Kim Min Jae, Son and Lee Kang In.

    The so good stats are just from playing bad teams - Bolivia (win rate away is horrendous) and tbh Paraguay is not good either.

    Hyeong Myeong Bo just sucks at tactics. just relying on Lee Kang In and Son to bail him out. look at his pathetic world cup run in 2014. most pathetic performance I've ever seen getting mugged by Algeria lol

    I am of the opinion that Paulo Bento was infinitely better at laying down the tactical foundations, but Hong Myung-Bo tends to be slightly more acute doing adjustments in real-time. So he is sort of underrated in that aspect.

    Bento had faith in his tactics almost to a fault, and had quite poor reads on the week-to-week individual forms.

    So, if I was forced to put a positive spin, I would say that Hong Myung-Bo is better than he looks tactically, and maybe has a higher ceiling on the day, due to being less anal about being faithful to his tactics and philosophy.

    Because he relies so much on the day-to-day conditioning and form of his players, rather than his footballing tactical ideas, he is more fine tuned to the idea of using whoever seems to be the best fit on that day.

    Of course, his read isn't anything amazing, but it is better than Paulo Bento for me, in terms of that specific facet of managing.

    Basically, he isn't that terrible in terms of 해줘 축구, and the World Cup is a tournament setting after all. Maybe he lucks out. But I'm thinking maybe 1 in 10 odds. 9 times out of 10, Korea is probably crashing out looking tactically atrocious.

    LOL. I remember the days when he was obsessed with FIFA Rankings.
