oldtype Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 South Korea v. Aussies starting up right now, very much looking forward to this. Probably the "biggest" match out of the entire group stages. Stadium is almost empty though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Real Madrid top, hope they put 5 past him too We played the Real Madrid supporters club about six months ago. We lost something like 17-1 f***ing hell, was Cronaldo spending his holidays in Korea? Well, multitude of factors. They're pretty close to an actual amateur football club in that they have regular practice sessions etc. We're just a bunch of lads who get together for a kickabout once a month or so. Also they draw from a pool of members that's several times larger than ours. You can imagine how there would be quite a bit more Real Madrid fans than Newcastle fans in this country. What are the biggest foreign clubs in there? The only Korean football fans I met are all Manchester United fans. Man United is leaps and bounds ahead of everyone else for obvious reasons. Basically most Koreans with a passing interest in European football are Man United "fans." After that it's probably Liverpool, Arsenal, Real, Milan, Inter, and Juventus. Chelsea isn't popular at all for some reason and Barca is surprisingly underappreciated. Newcastle is probably the fourth most popular Premiership club, shockingly enough Yeah I know, our board has been laboring to increase our profile there, hence our friendlies this summer. These Qatar Foundation shirts and Messi spread posters need to be moved... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtype Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Good to see a moment of silence for the Queensland floods. I don't mind having some nationalism mixed in for international matches at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, 99% of all teams on Earth would look woeful to you. I'm having fun Hehe, don't expect a tiki-taka display every time I tune in a game, but the possessions are very short and you don't see many things coming out from the players. Australia are very slow and scrappy and seem to have dragged Korea - which I remember as a spirited side - down to their level. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldtype Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Man it's not even funny how badly Japan has been screwed over by the refs though. Not that I have any sympathy for them. Ah well, best teams in the tournament always start slow. Think of us as the Spain of Asia. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEEJ Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 What match was it where the ref overruled the linesman, sending the keeper off even though the lad he took out was offside? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
themanupstairs Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 What match was it where the ref overruled the linesman, sending the keeper off even though the lad he took out was offside? Japan - Syria. Ref said it was the Japanese player who touched the ball last, therefore Syrian attacker not offside. Rubbish decision tbh, and so was the penalty he gave Japan later in the game.

leffe186 Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Never really cared much for S Korea footballing wise. Was always a neutral when it came to most of your games and even wanted you to beat Greece in the WC. Now that I know your true feelings, I will support anyone playing against S Korea with the power of a thousand suns always thought east asians were racist and sort of up themselves a bit. now i know it I have nothing against your people, just how you go about playing football. You're basically accusing somebody of being anti-semetic just because they can't stand Tottenham Hotspur. Really, who's being prejudiced here Mr. "I always thought East Asians were racist"? Oh and you can accuse me of anything you want, but f*** tottenham hotspur and all tottenham supporters Wish there was a yarmulke smiley. 'mon the Aussies.

That's why I didn't mention him, he actually still plays at a high level and gets in the team on merit instead of coasting on name and past achievements.
