Again 2002.
Know what it means, but it can be fixed somehow.
Fighting.
Present progressive -ing isn't necessary (all uses of Konglish, not just soccer). FIGHT would be sufficient. Or perhaps WIN. |

The '-ing' endings they've got going irritate me no end; especially when these words are used as a complete sentence:
"Park Ji Sung. Yeh, yeh.... Passing.... Lee Young Pyo.... Crossing.... HEADING.... SHOOOOOOOOTING.... GOAL.......ahh, yeahhhh, ahhhhhhhhh, imnida."
You could train a chipmunk to say that.
It might be better if they used the nouns; cross, header, shot, pass, if they're only going to say one word. More sensible Konglish, if that isn't an oxymoron. |

Korean soccer Konglish really bothers me, especially:
Back-heading-uh = ANYTIME a header goes in the opposite direction to where the player is facing,
Touch-out-uh = the ball goes out |
