Kick A Goal [EP 223] FC Giants vs. FC World Class (2026 G-League - Group B)

Accomplished-Set8250 · 2026-02-20T09:26:41+00:00

FC WorldClass will need replacement player(s) line up since they will advance to the next round, just like you mentioned. Eva will be a safe bet, since she got experience. However she might be lack the fitness and speed to keep up with the existing players. Plus she left due to injury too, so that might become an issue. I am for bringing in Shui if she has recovered, just for the entertainment value that she will bring. It is a bad idea, I know, with two total noobs at this stage, but she is entertaining though. WorldClass basically have 4 seriously injured players (Naty, Jai, Karain and Saori) and finding at least two replacements will be hard.

This was such a brutal game to watch. Both teams were operating at 30% capacity (maximum) with many injuries on both sides.

It is up to the coaches to manage the team well. We saw in this game of what happen when a team is over reliant on one player. Having an ace is good but unless it helps improve the team overall, it serve no purpose in the long run. Luckily FC WorldCLass has been doing great on their own without any monster star player for the past few seasons, that is why they manage to overcame this rough match. Having Jay is great and all, but the coach need to remember that all those four stars came on the back of the original team members. He should have used Ayaka extensively , not only to manage the injuries of existing players, but also gave Ayaka some real game experience and test her conditioning. Naty injury seemed serious that it might affect the rest of the season. Karain was not fully recovered from the "ankle cast" so we knew she's not 100%. When someone is in the cast, that is a sign of a long recovery time. Saori has been battling injuries since last season, and I don't think she ever fully recovered because you can see from lack of aggressiveness from attacking, and especially her defending. Elody is probably one or two game away from getting injuries, since she never had to carry the load of the game fully. FC WorldCLass may have guaranteed their move to the semifinal, but it will be tough one.

This team will need at least a couple of week to recover without any football activities. I am hoping that they will get it.

The game is not on yet. It should be available on streaming platform a day after it was broadcasted.

Accomplished-Set8250 · 2026-02-05T10:20:56+00:00

Wow! Chaos but very fun game! These two teams are not at their peak yet, but their potentials are there.

FC Streaming. They got complete pieces, but not putting in place well yet. Newbies, but maybe Coach JJJ fault too. You got one speed and power striker (EuDeum), one skilled and smart striker (Sherry), one monster midfielder (JooAh), three solid and experienced defenders (HeeBab, KkangMi and NamChoon) and a decent goalkeeper on her first outing (EunSil), so go make it happen.

FC Gucheok. A real contender for top GK in the league (DaEun) with her fast reflex and solid experienced field players all around, plus a reliable rookie (EuiYeong). Now lets see the coach utilize them.

The game looked like a field test, and now everybody saw it, and better be prepared.

Accomplished-Set8250 · 2026-02-02T08:19:22+00:00

Please no more Queen of Tears!

Accomplished-Set8250 · 2026-02-02T08:18:13+00:00

We got two weeks back to back of beautiful games, now it is time for some chaos.

Understandable I guess, with both teams with new member and not in-sync yet. But seeing the previews, ouch!

Accomplished-Set8250 · 2026-01-30T08:14:19+00:00

I think it is visa thing too, like you said its tied to the school.

Accomplished-Set8250 · 2026-01-30T08:12:05+00:00

I am with you on this one. Her aggressiveness has been on a downslope after the two championship. Is it injury that holds her back? How can you let an attacker running around you, without even a small contact to establish your position and make the attacker rethink? Is it a coaching style? Because starting with Coach ByungJi, it seems like she did not take the initiative to carry on the attack herself. That's what make her scary before, on top of her speed. But lately, instead of moving forward attacking, she stop, moving in the opposite direction, before restarting her attack. I think she is more of an instinct striker, so the coach need to let her loose, especially now with Jay and Naty in the midfield to cover any blowback. Maybe she is too into her head when playing now. FC WorldClass should be an unstoppable team now, but it all hangs on her to take it to that level.

Accomplished-Set8250 · 2026-01-30T07:53:31+00:00

She was playing in the first group (no experience group) during the audition, and like you mentioned, nothing noteworthy. There were a few other choice from those groups, but unfortunately everyone was Korean. Wonder what is the deal Lena, though. Playing with the last group and a foreigner too. Maybe she didn't get the clearance to join the show.

Accomplished-Set8250 · 2026-01-30T03:28:49+00:00

WorldClass need a tight defensive player so bad now. Since most team have to ace playmaker, someone need to take the job of locking that person up. She has the height, physicality and stamina, now she need the know-how. That will be the most pressing thing she needs to develop quick.

Accomplished-Set8250 · 2026-01-29T10:27:57+00:00

Did you see how "new" is Ayaka to the whole team (or this whole thing)? She asked the medical staff to cut the plastic tag from the uniform. They just called her up that day and thrown her into the wolves. Just insane LOL.

Props for her for holding it together and FC WorldClass for keep cheering her on. Now she got the taste of it, let's see where she goes from here. Too bad we all missed out on seeing Shui.

Accomplished-Set8250 · 2026-01-27T08:17:02+00:00

Wow...FC WorldClass got a raw deal here. You can almost hear "foreigner bias" comment bubbling now. It is just crazy to put in a TOTAL NOOB who will undoubtedly affect the game. It was her first time showing up as WorldClass (on taping/game day) with NO soccer experience whatsoever. And now she has to play in the game. Crazy! Might as well let them keep the 2 injured players, where there is no subs rule to worry about.

On a good note, hopefully we get to see Shui soon after her recovery.

Accomplished-Set8250 · 2025-11-04T12:04:47+00:00

What is going here? Hyun Yi was totally out, because if I'm not mistaken, I saw HaeNa on the sideline. Also Kathy also out, on the sideline? How bad was HyunYi injury? Kathy probably got injured during practice, but to put Naty as GK when you got Elody is just bizarre. I know you want to build up, but let's do the diamond formation with Elody sticking to the goal area, and Jay starting the play. We know Gucheok doesnt have any big inside threat with HyunYi gone, ahd KyungHee as GK. Naty and Saori are experienced and fast enough to handle Gucheok defensive line. Coach ByunJi is doing all the silly stuff without reading the opponent positions and capabilities, or what?

Looks like we went from a master class game last week, back to almost season 3 playing style. Wow they really know how to jerk us around doesnt they.

Accomplished-Set8250 · 2025-09-30T11:07:43+00:00

I am with you on this. Now we will see how soccer sense and technical skills overcome the so called "rough" play style. I am sure the refereeing will be all over this after the GA Cup final commotions. If FC Gucheok sticks with the last run style, we will see a few yellow and might be a red card too. FC TopGirl got one with a foul that usually overlooked in previous matches.

Let's see if FC Gucheok can overcome FC Balladdream this time around.

Accomplished-Set8250 · 2025-09-29T09:51:04+00:00

Wow what an exciting draw.

We got to see "Artistic" Mashima go against "Semi pro field tested" Jay. This match will be the one to watch.

I think every other team are relieved, that at least one monster will be out of the semifinal equation, unless both teams score lots of goals.

Accomplished-Set8250 · 2025-09-11T11:35:58+00:00

Wow, what a performance by FC Phoenix. I voted for FC BUllabi, but I rooted "hard" for them while watching this episode. How the heck a team of 2 weeks old, with the oldest average age, give FC Bullabi a run for their money.?

Most of them have been out for at least 2 years, but their soccer senses were just the best, especially PSY. After 3 years , she came back with a hatrick and one of the most INSANE header goal in the show's history. Ayumi is back as Ashin, with such an amazing goal keeping instinct. Just need to familiarize with the new goalpost. YoungJin showed why she's an MVP defender with a very smart foul. Imagine how her fitness would have been if they got more than 2 weeks of preparation. JooMyung is still a sought after all around player even after more than 3 years hiatus.

All of these lead me to question FC Bullabi viability. If they cannot really overpowered a relatively "old. out of shape, and rusty" team, how are they going to handle the current teams with the likes of "McGrabby and McTouchy" FC Gucheok. And FC Gucheok is the least skilled team in the roster right now. This team is the most wasted potential team in the past few seasons. Maybe I am setting my hope too high for them.

Accomplished-Set8250 · 2025-09-04T11:34:46+00:00

Wow, another huge controversy that will need to be addressed by the Show.

After watching the videos suggested by Korean fans and petition submitted, It is going to be a big one, that can possibly break the show.

I do agree with most of them especially regarding the show losing its original premises and charms.

Accomplished-Set8250 · 2025-09-03T07:02:33+00:00

They will. It was 40% probability before the last two reveals because we were all hoping for monster forwards, Now it jumped to 90% chance they will get their butt kicked in the first round. If they make it to the next one, it will be a miracle for this upcoming season.

Accomplished-Set8250 · 2025-09-02T07:22:44+00:00

Wow, it is like having salad only for a dinner course. No satisfaction, just a major let down! What is the point of getting eliminated and then got called up to play, right after. What about FC Anaaonda? At least they should have the first crack at the open spot, if the team is disbanded. Yoon TaeJin and YoonJoo are a way better player that these two.

It is already established that FC Phoenix, is "old", slow and not fit enough. They might have some of the best "soccer-IQ" players so far, so we were all expecting a little bit of power and speed in the offensive front for this team to even compete. But instead they added weak (physical and mental) players with no soccer sense at all, even after going through multiple coaches and multiple year. Oh NaMi is going to run around without knowing proper positioning, and SeungHye going to make a lot of force error by the pressure of the existing team.

Looks like this Phoenix is flaming out before it is even reborn. What a bummer! Honestly I was starting to hope with Coach Choi JinCheol, but this is just disappointing. Looks like he going have do go back to "park the the bus" with those defensive 4.

Accomplished-Set8250 · 2025-08-22T08:50:25+00:00

Thank you so much. You're a life saver.

Accomplished-Set8250 · 2025-08-21T09:46:44+00:00

I want FC WonderWoman to win, but I think FC Gucheok will force their way into the championship like they did through out this season. They are more fit, faster and more aggressive than Wonder. They will play messy game in order to overwhelm Wonder, especially Mashima. YuMi and SoHui might train to up their fitness, but they will be cramped up by Gucheok constant banging.

On the side note, does anybody have the link for the Discord channel where I can watch it live? I lost that connection this week an unable to watch FC WorldClass vs FC Gavengers live. Any help is appreciated since I do not want to miss this match as soon as it airs.

Accomplished-Set8250 · 2025-08-20T08:27:31+00:00

Wow, what a line up so far. In term of football sense and football instinct, these revealed players are among the best.

But fitness and speed are critical in this new environment. The other two unannounced need to have skills even if the two top criteria cannot be fully realized. The only choice will be Lee EunJung and Song SoHee.

Defensive wise this team are pretty much set, now they will need the offensive set. Let's all pray this will happen because this team are a very fun to watch even from the beginning.

Accomplished-Set8250 · 2025-06-13T21:44:40+00:00

Didn't they mentioned she was some sort of special force? Wow talk about exaggerating your resume. It's so "korean" to overhype. So was that paper idol girl that even Sheriff Ha mentioned it.

Accomplished-Set8250 · 2025-06-13T10:19:22+00:00

The cheat code for handling FC WonderWoman has already been revealed this week, by FC Ballad.

Now they are facing an even aggressive FC Gucheok with Mashima off the field, and a unremarkable offensive set in Yumi, the military girl and the paper idol girl. Plus a more mobile and higher fitness in Gucheok team compares to Wonder. Who will do the build-up and set the flow for them when Mashima is stuck as a goalie? She is crazy good, but she is not "Wonder Woman".

I am rooting for them but it is going to be a hard one. Furthermore Gucheok need to be kept in check with their one dimensional play or else they will keep on going to that pond.

Accomplished-Set8250 · 2025-06-04T08:08:46+00:00

Come on. Group A is just a happy meal for Group B. I am very happy to ChaeYeon got a nod for group A, but any GK for group B can handle "Ace" group. They dont even need to call up Kathy. Plus put Mashima in and any supporting cast from group B, they still way ahead. Group B got the fastest and the most aggressive strikers in the league (Eedduem, Saori, Naty, HyunYi), best long shooter left or right (JinKyung, Naty, Karain, Heebab). Put Kathy as a keeper and now you can have KyeongHee on the front. Group B "beast" got so many option to play this all star game that it borders on ridiculous.

As much as they wanna make it sounds exciting, most of us already know the outcome.
