Did you guys see HUJ's interview btw? He got mad at the translator for not translating him correctly lol
Croatian commentators of course couldn't be bothered learning the player names, so just went with that very reference for the defense line. I felt bad, but realistically, I'm the weirdo in my country for choosing to learn Korean. Luckily I was alone during the game. People would look at me weird if they saw me singing the SK anthem.
Assume POR beats URU Assune URU beats GHA If KOR beats POR, GHA Then KOR 7 POR 6 URU 4 GHA 0 This is best scenario. More realistically, if POR beats us then we should hope that POR beats URU and GHA beats URU. If URU beats POR it could be difficult for us.
Uruguay could stop Portugal from winning. Ghana only conceded because of a penalty that was quite soft. I'm thinking Portugal's defense is vulnerable to Korea, so, maybe a miracle win happens?
He did not get high ratings in foreign presses but the Korean media have a high opinion of Lee Kang In's debut. https://v.daum.net/v/20221125010108638
Valverde 2017 and 2022 Valverde with a racist gesture at U20 WC 2017 in Korea Valverde taunting Lee Kang In after a hard tackle. He even uploaded his bizarre celebration to his SNS as his proudest moment of the game. In the US guys like him are usually called jerks. Fun facts In 2017 Valverde was the Silver Ball Winner at U20 WC and his team placed 4th. In 2019 Lee was the Golden Ball Winner at the same and his team placed 2nd.
But Valverde claims he stopped Lee Kang In from scoring and that is why he was jubilant. I don't buy it but he was on the opposing team when Lee scored that wonder goal after dribbling last year.
Wow. You could never trust South Americans. Even though Godin's attempt to rip off Sonny's ears (or maybe poke out his eyes?) was post-match, I did a little digging and found out why he would engage in such a dastardly act. While Godin played for Atlético Madrid (2010-2019), he dated the daughter of Masashi Mizukami, the Japanese ambassador to Spain at the time. The men eventually became good friends. Since then it's been rumored that JFA is trying to naturalize Godin so that he could represent them in the 2026 Over-40 World Cup. Finally, it's no secret Godin loves omakase meals and listens to J-pop. Call me paranoid but you do the math. I hope FIFA is looking into this.
