I just arrived home hurriedly to watch the asian final on tv and guess what? Koreans are not showing it. What bad sportman they are. I wonder if they will show the next world cup here if they are eliminated from the start. Reinforces my attitude that they dont deserve to win any cup. Evil or Very Mad

Dude...what in the HELL are you talking about? I'm watching it right now.

It's on Xports (Ch. 61 in Jeonju) if you have the channel....

23 minutes in and the score is 0:0

Indeed.....

Now put your protest banners away, douse the molotov co-cktails you were going to toss at the next Korean you saw, calm down and realise that in Korea, like home, there are regular channels and cable channels.....

It's actually called commercialism. Any games involving the England team, for example, other than those considered of great national importance, do not have to be shown on terrestial TV in England.

I was relying on the regular tv channel that has been showing the past several games. Programming must vary by city. It still does not make sense to not show it after showing all the rest. Especially when its the final. Am I wrong? Confused

It's called the power of channel surfing. With the time it took for you to type your OP, you would have found it on your own....

Iraq just scored....Woohoo....

And yeah you are right but perhaps because it's the final, another channel offered to pay more for the honor of showing it?

I must have the worst cable company in suwon. Soccer game was not on any channel. I also dont get AFN nor Arirang. Anyone in suwon have advice on what cable company to subscribe too?
