| They seem a little sad. But, so far, nothing out of the ordinary. |

| Most Koreans aren't delusional. THey know Argentina is a favorite and the game was going to be tough. I would say a loss was expected. Maybe not a 4-1 trouncing but a loss was expected nevertheless. |

a draw against Nigeria should see them through. Argentina will be expected to beat greece.
It's still in Korea's hands. I am optimistic of their qualification as long as they keep their heads up for the Nigeria game. |

| i won a bet for choosing the correct score 4-1. The koreans i was watching the game with were complaining that every goal Argentina made was illegal (offsides usually). Why can't people just admit that they aren't as good? (rhetorical) |

| They didn't really expect to win. And they're happy Greece beat Nigeria. |

Are you kidding? Most K are maximus delusional. Everyone I asked said, Korea would beat Argentina 3-1.  
I hope Argentina would just let Greece win the next game. |

Wait until Nigeria beats korea next week! I'm hoping!
Nigeria lost two in a row....they are hungry and the chances of losing three in a row are slim....but they might..... |

I get the feeling that my co-workers didn't really understand just how good Argentina are. At the risk of sounding a bit sexist, I can put this down to them being women with no real interest in the sport itself. Anyway, they all seem shell-shocked by the scoreline.
I watched the game with a few Korean lads who all follow football, and they weren't overly surprised by what they saw. They all know that the Argentinian squad is stacked with first-class players. |

Agreed. All the Koreans I spoke to who were into football anyway had expected a hard game and were expecting at the very best a draw, but more likely as narrow a defeat as possible.
Sure, there were plenty of people who don't know much about the game and are just getting behind their country in a big sporting event who were crazily overoptimistic. But that's the same in any country.
Given that with one game left, Korea have the best chance of the 3 teams vying for the 2nd qualifying spot, their previously stated target of reaching the last 16 was a pretty reasonable and realistic one, whether they actually make it or not. |

| One of my elementary students came to school today sporting an Argentina jersey. I had to give him props for his bravery! |
