apart from cachi's interpretation of a star.... every country has their own star player. it doesn't matter if it's brazil or bangladesh. it's nice to know that more ASIANS are going to europe. china, japan, korea, iran, whatever. as for korea, i'm happy that they did well in the world cup. but becareful not to be overconfident just because of one good showing. look at bulgaria in 94 and croatia in 98. korea is a good team. under hiddink they have improved considerably, but there's still a lot to be learn.
