Match 30 - Portugal x Korea DPR, in game PBP thread.

Re: Match 30: Portugal x Korea DPR

Looks like the weather is really gonna play a part in this one.

 

Re: Match 30: Portugal x Korea DPR

Anything that makes the play more unpredictable can only help North Korea.

Is it just me or should Portugal be the quicker team by far? Because right now they're not.

 

Re: Match 30: Portugal x Korea DPR

Almost a header goal

 

Re: Match 30: Portugal x Korea DPR

I'm going for 5-3.

 

Re: Match 30: Portugal x Korea DPR

04' 0-0 And this is the de facto PBP thread, due to some moderator not re-opening the other thread

Portugal has launched 2-3 sprint-drives from midfield into the box. North Korea hasn't been able to establish possession.

06' 0-0 Portugal right corner, curls to 6-top left post -- #1 Ri Myong-Guk comes way out, lunges and misses, #6 Ricardo Carvalho heads a high floater off the left post

 

Re: Match 30: Portugal x Korea DPR

Is Eusebio in attendance today?

 

Re: Match 30: Portugal x Korea DPR

I'm suprised that the lad up top for NK, who's actually Japanese, is allowed to wear Nike.

 

Re: Match 30: Portugal x Korea DPR

North Korea shot, ball curled too much, which is fortunate for Portugal, because the keeper did not have the near post fully covered.

They're going to run at each other all day long. This is going to be awesome.

 

Re: Match 30: Portugal x Korea DPR

Re: Match 30: Portugal x Korea DPR

He IS in attendance! Sweet!

 

Re: Match 30: Portugal x Korea DPR

What am I seing? No bunker??? Didn't think I will see that

 

Re: Match 30: Portugal x Korea DPR

Jong Tae-se is allowed whatever he likes (and chooses to buy for himself in Japan).

Read the SI feature on him. He brings his MP3 player, laptop, and digital camera into North Korea whenever he attends a pre-tourney camp, and all his teammates dogpile into his room and watch videos and play video games.

 

Re: Match 30: Portugal x Korea DPR

Tea-Se was one-on-one in the box. Really bad first touch, otherwise Portugal would have been in real trouble.

 

Re: Match 30: Portugal x Korea DPR

Oh I know all of that. I'm just saying it's interesting that he's the one wearing Nike boots. It doesn't appear that any of the native born NKs are. Maybe I'm wrong.

 

Re: Match 30: Portugal x Korea DPR

Might as well not bunker, with the weather conditions especially, N. Korea has the wheels to counter so they are taking risks.

 

Re: Match 30: Portugal x Korea DPR

Good stuff.

 

I thought that bunker was trademark. They can attack very nice though

 

Re: Match 30: Portugal x Korea DPR

Another header, over the bar. Portugal should be fortunate North Korea doesn't know how to put it on frame.

 

Re: Match 30: Portugal x Korea DPR

not ez shot with rain wet pich, dam Norks another nice shot on gol

 

Yong-Hak with a shot JUST wide. They are going shot for shot with Portugal right now.

 

That last shot has the potential for trouble -- a tricky ball skimming over wet grass is a keeper's nightmare.

 

Re: Match 30: Portugal x Korea DPR

17' 0-0 #10 Hong Yong-Jo drives down the right outside the box, shoots hard far post -- #1 Eduardo lunge-dives out toward 6-top center and blocks it down hard to 4m center, bounces high to 11m, #4 Pak Nam-Chol leaps in but heads it over.

21' 0-0 #17 North Korea passes along the box top, #An Yong-Hak touches once inside to 18m 6-right, shoots hard low, just wide of the left post.

 

Re: Match 30: Portugal x Korea DPR

portugal that bad in defense?
