Why aren't there any repeats of games during the day in Seoul? All they have are condensed versions of games. This is not the case in Japan, they repeat games often.

Also, while games are on at night, they show short repeat versions of other games that have been played. The media here is just not into soccer in general.

Wait till after the World Cup and they will play all the Korean wins about 1 billion times. If they lose in the first round that would consist of one game. Wink

I agree though. I wish they had replays. There were some games I would like to see. Kind of disappointing.

Of course Homer. The Italians are known divers and whiners and that is precisely why I don't cheer for them.
Mind you, Korea is starting to gain a reputation as well. Good old Park JS even admitted as much. He takes a dive when he thinks it will benefit his team. I think it is garbage but what do I know. I'd rather take skill and real sportsmanship anyday.
Anyway, it would be nice to see Korea and Italy out in the first round I must admit.
Go Czechs! Go Swiss! ^^

Poor journalism that is for sure. Although now they have been replaying some games in full. They are a day or two behind, but better than abbreviated games.

But after games they show few summaries on TV of how the groups are doing and what teams are placed where.

A while back Arirang did not know on Sunday that Edmonton had won their series on Friday to advance to Stanley Cup Final.
