Does anybody have a list of all the Koreans that play abroad? Thanks in advance for any help with that.
Nam Tae-Hee scored in a reserves game for Reading on Oct. 22 against Northampton. Both Nam Tae-Hee and Kim Won-Sik came on as subs. http://www.readingfc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10306~1428989,00.html Thanks to RichardL for the update.
Some noticable Korean Players in Europe England Park Ji-sung (Man. Utd) Seol Ki-hyeon (Fulham) Kim Du-hyeon (West Brom) Germany Lee Young-pyo (Borussia Dortmund) Cha Doo-ri (TuS Koblenz) France Park Chu-young (AS Monaco) Ou Kyung-jun (FC Metz) Kang Jin-wook (FC Metz) Portugal Kim Byung-suk (Vitória Setúbal) Russia Kim Dong-jin (Zenit) Lee Ho (Zenit) Oh Beum-seok (FC Samara) I didn't include those on the other youth level players in and around Europe.
Not quite abroad...yet, but a good article on Lee Chung-Yong and Ki Sung-Yong nonetheless from John: http://www.goal.com/en/Articolo.aspx?ContenutoId=937094
"He (Ki) has already saved his nation’s and coach’s bacon." You gotta like the way John calls a spade a spade.
Amusing song about Cha Duri. Can't believe somebody bothered... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_D3SLI5wE4
In Russia, the 2008 season has ended. Kim Dong-jin played the full match for Zenit as they beat Spartak Moscow 3 - 1. Zenit finished 5th overall and have qualified to the 2009-10 Europa League Third Qualifying Round. Zenit have a Champions League match at home against Juventus on the 25th. Oh Beom-seok played the full match for Kryliya Sovetov as they beat Terek Grozny 4 - 3. Kryliya Sovetov finished 6th overall.
In Japan.. Kim Geun-hwan started and scored one goal and assist as Yokohama F. Marinos beat JEF United Chiba 3 - 0. He was subbed out at 83'. Yokohama F. Marinos are 11th overall. Kim Nam-il played the full match as Vissel Kobe drew with FC Tokyo 1 - 1. Vissel Kobe are 8th overall.
I still don't understand what the reason behind Kim Nam-il's exclusion from the NT is. He's still a top-notch player on both ends and is clearly head and shoulders above most CMF's we have right now. When a player of his caliber who was the captain of the team gets dropped from the team out of nowhere, there has got to be some kind of an explanation behind it, but so far, I haven't heard anything. And I always get a good laugh when I hear people say he's not the same player he was a few years ago. He had ONE bad game against North Korea in the first round of the qualifications. Go back to some of our games during the preliminary rounds and try counting how many times the man saved Huh Jung-moo's ass.
http://www.kicker.de/news/fussball/2bundesliga/vereine/spielersteckbrief/object/28149/saison/2008-09 It seems Cha Du-ri, playing right-back, got 3 assists in the latest game between TuS Koblenz and Rot-Weiss Ahlen. He has a total of 5 assists this season.
The cross for the second goal was world class. But I don't think he knew what was going on with the third goal. No surprise here.
I was more impressed by the strike at the end of the cross. That was an awesome volley. On the third goal, I find it funny that one gets credited with an assist, simply by being the last person to touch the ball before the goal scorer, when the goal scorer does all the work, dribbling around the defender. So, presumably, someone got an assist on that "greatest goal" by Maradona, against England?
hahaha... you know me as well as my real life friends now. soccer and pr0n. whatelse is there in life besides food? If Elliad wouldn't get on my case about it, I would have started a pr0n thread on the Korea NSR section years ago.
Oh Joo-seung (17) will join Borussia Dortmund, where Lee Young-pyo is at. Starting in January he'll play for the youth team. He is a defensive midfielder. http://news.naver.com/sports/index....&mod=read&office_id=020&article_id=0002008625
Interesting news. This seems to follow the trend of the four or five other U-17 players who are at German clubs. These were the other three that I could think of but I know there are one or two more: MF Kim Dae-Kwang - Nurnberg FW Son Heung-Min - Hamburg MF Lee Chang - Nurnberg
Ahn Jung-Hwan to MLS??!?! http://www.goal.com/en/news/14/asia...kham-to-follow-in-the-originals-mls-footsteps
this could be good for him, I giss... In the United States, noone would recognize him, so he will be able to live his life free of media scrutiny... that might be good for him...
