I think I passed out for a little bit. Going straight from Korea winning to Suarez bawling his eyes out. The pleasure was too intense.

As of the last five years or so for Korea and probably a bit longer for Japan, I feel like both countries have put in place a steady production line of decent-ish players coming out of the youth levels. A lot of them stay in Asia because it's not worth it to leave the comforts of home to sit on the bench, but most of the NT-level players could do a job for lower-tier squads in Europe. Not relying on one-off outliers like Park and Son to carry a bunch of dross anymore. Son is basically a shell of himself this WC and we look about as good as we have in the last decade or so. Results just aren't going our way.

This is a bottom-five day in Korean sporting history.

I don't even know if this guy is good or not but he's definitely the most punchable footballer I've seen in a while.

Fuck, panned to their bench storming the pitch just before I hit Alt+F4.

Even just the Asian Cup semi final against them was the closest I've ever been to having a heart attack because of sports.

That Elmo dude is fucking shit

It won't happen. It can't happen. I'd rather we just lose before that.

How have they not even gotten a set piece or something for a half hour.

Need to turn it off before the Japanese fans start celebrating. My eyes won't survive it.

Yes, whoever wins ends up with Croatia-Brazil path.
