The Official 2010 Korea NT Thread Part 3 [R]

Have we, the Korea NT, ever played Brazil NT in a friendly or any other events? I can't remember any in recent memories but i would guess we have long time ago, does anyone know?

 

Nope, not long ago at all. The last two have been:

November 11, 2002. Narrow two-three loss in Seoul with Seol Ki-Hyun and Ahn Jung-Hwan both scoring. Very similar to the France friendly before the World Cup.

March 28, 1999. A one-nil win in Seoul with Kim Do-Hoon scoring the famous winning goal.

 

Yes, I believe we won 1-0.

 

Oh wow thanks for that info. I wish we could have booked them for a friendly before the WC. It would have been nice to play them.

 

Well, that tells you that i have a REALLY bad memory.

 

4 played in total. All friendlies played in Korea, 3 losses + 1 win.

I remember football really took off in my school after that match. I was maybe grade 5, 6 at the time? Most kids played basketball or baseball for recess, but the day after that, everyone was football.

 

We are the only Asian team that has ever defeated Brazil in international A match.

 

Now I can sleep at night.

 

I really wish we actually end up using second string bench players in the actual game against Japan. We have nothing to gain there. Maybe we should use the 2nd tier to gain experience at the fully-packed Saitama stadium.

And depending on how the game goes, we can put in some first tier starters sometime around 60th minute so that we could say we did use our first string too.

Of course, stupid KFA will pressure Huh to use the best, and Huh will be forced to play all his cards...

 

It is a japanese booby trap.

Korea's Line up for this match in Tokyo should consist of players from Daegu, Chunnam and Suwon !!

 

LOLOL. This is unintentional comedy at its height. Cha Bumkeun, retire.

 

Asian Debate: Could South Korea Become The New Australia?

Is the Asian Tiger taking on some kangaroo-like characteriscs?

The 2011 Asian Cup in Qatar will mark the first time that Australia and South Korea meet in a competitive match as members of the Asian Football Confederation but while contact on the pitch between the senior teams has been confined to a September 2009 friendly in Seoul, the two nations have more than a little in common.

Australia have taken a few leaves out of Korean books, mostly from the chapter titled ‘Dutch coaches and you’. Guus Hiddink (and almost Dick Advocaat) and Pim Verbeek have made the long journey to the southern hemisphere after stints in the Land of the Morning Calm.


Australia Lose In Seoul

In return, Korea have taken on a few Australian characteristics of their own. The difference between the full-strength Socceroos and the team based entirely of domestic players has long been a source of concern down under.

히딩크, "한국, 1차전 잘하면 16강 기회 잡을 것"





[OSEN=인천공항, 박린 기자] "조별리그 첫 경기를 잘한다면 16강행 기회를 잡을 것이다".

거스 히딩크(64, 네덜란드) 감독이 26일 오전 인천국제공항을 통해 입국해 한국 축구 대표팀이 2010 남아공월드컵 16강에 진출하기 위해서는 조별리그 1차전 그리스전이 관건이 될 것이라고 전망했다.

히딩크 감독은 10개월 만에 한국을 찾아 네덜란드-벨기에 2018 월드컵 유치를 홍보하는 등 서울, 인천, 영동, 광주 등을 돌며 4박5일 동안의 바쁜 일정을 갖고 30일 출국할 예정이다.

히딩크 감독은 "네덜란드-벨기에 월드컵 유치 위원회를 지원하고 광주 드림피드 건립, 영동군 와인 홍보 대사 위촉식 등을 목적으로 한국에 방문했다"고 입국 소감을 밝혔다.

특히 한국의 남아공월드컵 성적에 대해 히딩크 감독은 "한국은 어려운 조에 속했다. 조별리그 첫 경기를 잘한다면 16강행 기회를 잡을 것이다. 박지성(맨체스터 유나이티드) 이영표(알 힐랄) 등 30대 전후인 2002 한일월드컵 멤버와 영건들이 조합을 이룬다면 좋은 결과가 있을 것이다"며 1차전인 그리스전이 16강 진출의 최대고비가 될 것이라고 예상했다. 특히 애제자인 박지성과 이영표를 언급해 눈길을 끌었다.

4회 연속 월드컵 감독직이 불발된 것에 대해 히딩크 감독은 "북한과 나이지리아의 접촉은 없었다. 코트디부아르와 협상 과정이 가장 힘들었고 이미 터키와 계약을 맺고 있었기 때문에 받아들이기 힘들었다"고 배경을 설명했다.

히딩크 감독은 향후 일정에 대해 "내일 공식 기자회견을 갖고 정몽준 FIFA 부회장을 만나는 일정 등을 소화할 예정이다"고 답했다.

한편 히딩크 감독은 오는 28일 '인천 히딩크 축구센터' 를 방문하고 인천 서구 '히딩크 축구교실'을 찾아 유소년 선수들을 대상으로 축구 클리닉을 갖는다. 또 히딩크 감독은 29일 충북 영동군으로 자리를 이동해 '영동군 와인 홍보대사 위촉식'에 참가하며 이어 광주로 이동해 시각장애인 전용 축구장인 '광주 히딩크 드림필드 건립'을 위한 양해각서를 체결한다.

How is the goalkeeper situation. Lee Woon-jae is still nr 1 right? Is Kim Yong-dae out of the picture? I like him.

It's being reported Iran has arranged a friendly in Korea on September 7.

 

Cool. Wish we could meet them at the Asian Cup itself too. They'd be coming at us fully rested with full force. All we have to do is use our youngsters like we did last time. Maybe we'll still beat them like last time?

We really need to use young players a lot for this Asian Cup too since our veterans will be more exhausted than anybody else.

 

Early September?

Sounds like a job for Hong's AG10 squad.

 

There is still 45 fecking days until the fecking world cup fecking kicks off.

 

On other news, it looks like Yeom Ki Hun will be picked in the squad. Back from injury and smiling. That is all.

 

soooo close..

 

Going to Korea on the start of world cup

and i will be watching world cup in Korea this year
