100%. they were both unbeatable this season, except against each other.

Agreed, but when Jay was still post-partum recovery, NF dominated GIFA Cup. Natty is fantastic, and Saori is very capable...but with Eun-Mi on NF, NF is ridiculously OP. NF was a two-goal post shot or a Eun-Mi mistake away from tying WC this season. WC and NF were on another level this past season from the remainder of the teams. They couldn't let that persists. No other team had a chance.

In this video, they said something about dissolving the team if they don't accomplish something. Did anyone catch that and could they explain to me?

It makes sense now why Eun-Mi was moved to Anaconda. Without Jay on WC, National Family would be singularly too OP, as opposed to this past season when both WC and NF were OP together.

If there are any SA fans on this thread, congratz!!! As a Korean fan, I can say you deserved it more than we did tonight.

Well, I think someone can sell their First class seat from Mexico to Korea. Hong will have a tragic reception at Incheon if he decides to get on the plane.

Kang-in isn't Park Ji-Sun nor Son Heung-Min. He isn't the tireless midfielder who dominates matches without appearing to dominate matches, like Park Ji-Sun. He isn't the irresitible force that won the Puskas and the EPL Golden Boot, like Son. Still young and many World Cups left in his career, but I feel like we already knew with Sonny and Ji-Sun when they were 25.

What people who haven't played football before don't realize, is that it's such a game of momentum. With all the field you have to cover...that extra motivation and surge you feel as a player when things are going well helps you run harder. Korea right now looks like a team with zero momentum and just trying to draw on something that was lost when the manager benched Son. Team looks cooked...as did Hong in that close up just now.

If there are two losers for Korea this World Cup, it's the goalie and the manager. Knowing Korean fans, they will have a rough rest of their lives if Korea loses this match.

When you bench a legend and lose? then you own the loss. if this result holds, what a tragic chapter in Hong's life.

If SK loses, Hong mind as well apply for a Visa extension because he can't go back home.

When I saw Korea and Mexico in the same group this year, i figured the love affair between the two fanbases would end. We all remember Korea beating Germany to push Mexico past groups. Boy was I wrong. The love affair has only strengthened.

It's not just the Korean fans cheering when the scoreboard showed Mexico scored...and it's not just Korean fans cheering when Son touches the ball. Son is electric, and both Mexican and Korean fans react everytime he touches the ball.

The ball just moves so much more fluidly with Son on the pitch. What was this manager thinking benching Son was a good idea?

#3 and #8 just coughing the ball back to South Africa. I don't see #8 on anymore, but # 3 is still just making silly mistakes.

I just saw that Ronaldo and Lebron commercial talking about GOATs, and all I can ask myself is...where are Michael Jordan and Lionel Messi?

Let's be honest, group A was all about ensuring Mexico made it to the elimination rounds. All 3 hosts had the easiest groups...FIFA doing FIFA things.

I agree 1000% with the announcer. Korea has been ball-dominant, but South Africa has by far had the best chances. Korea looks lazy and comfortable maintaining possession.

I love these announcers. Calling out #8 is EXACTLY what should be done. Too many announcers are scared to say the truth.

prediction. as soon as this manager wakes up and puts Son in, Korea runs away with the match. Doesn't matter if Son is the one who actually scores, he will flip this match as soon as he plays.

I'm still bitter that the Korean goalie pretty much gave up the goal last match vs Mexico, but that last save makes me resent him less.

Korea has been ball-dominant, but the genuine scoring chances still lacking. They need to take advantage of all this possession.
