With the soccer fanatacism that has gripped South Korea since 2002, I generally find myself quietly hoping the Korean soccer team will crash and burn next summer, just to see the crestfallen looks on my overly boisterous and arrogant K-coworkers faces...but then I started thinking, do I really want to live in Korea for the next 4 years with 50 million people pissed off...hmmm

hahahahaha
well I just want to see the korean team treated like the other teams this time! they got away with murder last time! and ok its all business and politics but korea had their moment in history! they wont hold the games for a very long time again! korea played well! they got some dodgy calls their way! and advanced to the quaters which was basically they played every game in their country which was to a sellout crowd! but in germany korea will have to rely only on skill! no ref is gonna help them this time!
they should pass to the second round! will be good enough if they do becuase they have never been to the second round outside 2002! so lets see how far they get this time!

I agree that I would LOVE to see Korea do badly in this World Cup. Korean people definitely have a case of hubris over the national football team and olympic athletes, and it would be great to see their faces if they get knocked out in the group stage.

I agree that the media frezy in england surrounding major tournaments gets far too much. Can I also add I would love to see the U.S team do badly also. It'll be a sad day for football if the U.S team ever beat a major major team in the world cup.

I got my oldest students - age 12/13 to write about a future 2006 World Cup game that Korea plays and what they think would happen. Almost across the board, the papers had Korea playing and beating Germany and either winning the world cup or losing in the finals.

I would have thought that most of them would have just said we will win, but no, they had to beat Germany. It was actually interesting reading. I mean, I would have written about beating the World Champions, but they were more concerned with beating the team that defeated them.

Personally, after I watched the German team play against Brazil in the last, my thoughts at the time were they were just way too strong for Korea. It was like watching two different grades of play.

Mates, some of the CFs, from KTF are down right ultra-nationalist already. This summer should be pop many bubbles. Korea, the "big hiss"..........

Wow, this is a mean-spirited thread.

I for one wish them well.
