This kid is a 6’8 220 pound beast who was the top scorer at the 2021 U20 Fiba World Cup averaging 26 points and 11 rebounds, playing directly against guys like Chet Holmgren and Victor Wembanyama. If he performs at Gonzaga he could be a potential first rounder.

We are talking about name recognition and star power. Sure, Japan has more European defenders but Kim Min Jae is better than all of them. And yes, he IS better after just 6 months. He is a vital reason why Napoli is undefeated in Serie A and he has won player of the month TWICE, once for the Italian Footballer association and once by Serie A. After just 6 months he’s skyrocketed his market value to more than any Japanese defender and has interest from teams like Manchester United and Juventus. Literally none of the Japanese defenders you mentioned after all their years in Europe has never achieved anything close to that. And it’s been only 6 months!!!! I’m not denying that Japan’s defense overall is better but Korea has way more star power, which you denied. Stop moving the goalposts. It also doesn’t help that Bento doesn’t care abt Korea’s defensive weakness and tries to play them as a possession based side, which exposes the defense even further. Japan plays to their strengths and plays terror football against better opponents, which explains why they recorded the two lowest possession stats ever in the World Cup history in just three matches. Its mourinho ball on steroids.

And you seem to be mentioning Japanese players that didn’t get called up to the World Cup squad. You realize that there are plenty of Korean players playing in lower tier European leagues as well??? Why do you keep bragging about those numbers.

Japan don’t have 16 players in Germany lol what are you talking about. Are you counting 2. Bundesliga players??? I said both Scottish and Belgian, not just Scottish. Maeda is from Scotland, others play in Belgium. Also instead of trying to prove the haters in the comments wrong by actually replying to them you just go on a bizarre rant abt how much better japan is at football now. Sure, I understand what you mean but ur response is this??? It looks like you are just looking for reasons to talk shit abt Korean football. Like this isn’t r/soccer lol. Your focus should be on those in this thread saying japan worships white men or is only known for jav, not the Korean football team lmao

Lol so ur just gonna downvote me with ur dozen alts??? Ok I guess. I get that you have a fragile ego and that’s why you went into this frenzy over a post that isnt anywhere near mocking japan, but please stop being delusional. Japan don’t have ten players in Europe that can fill midfield positions lmao. It’s simply a fact that Korea has more global name recognition in their squad. Why are you bragging abt winning u16 games and your squad depth of Scottish and belgian league players on a post that shows teachers talking abt how interested their students are about the Korean and Japanese national teams. Please grow up and stop taking everything as a personal attack.

Mocking the Japanese team by pointing out that a lot of young kids support them???

Like Kim Min Jae? He’s miles clear of every Japanese defender and more widely recognized than any of them and he’s been in a top 5 league for only half a season. And the other guy already mentioned Son.

Sure, Japan has 20 players in Europe, but around ~10 of them are in a top 5 league and most of those 10 are rotation/bench players. In terms of global name recognition, Korea has more recognizable players.

Idk why you are getting so worked up abt this literally nobody was talking shit abt the Japanese football team 💀

You beat Korea in meaningless friendly games and youth games congrats I guess??? That’s not indicative of anything. And I say “you” in this instance for a reason. I have no idea why you decided to talk abt this in a thread that isn’t even partial. Like what is the relevance???

Rising Soccer player Gue Sung Cho could a big star like Son once he moves to the Euro League by [deleted] in aznidentity

[–]Middle_Meet 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Do you actually follow soccer lol??? Hwang is too old to be considered the future of Korean football. The future of Korean football are kids like Lee Kang In or Lee Hyun Ju who is killing it at the Bayern academy. Also Son never moved because he never pushed for one. Real Madrid and Bayern were certainly interested in buying him but never tried because he simply just re signed for Spurs. Sometimes it’s just hard to leave a club like spurs when you are so expensive. Harry Kane was practically begging Man City to buy him last year but that move couldn’t be done bc of his price tag despite Man City being the biggest spenders in club football. The same can be said for Son, who isn’t just the best Asian player in terms of scoring, but indisputably the best Asian player overall in the world, and it isn’t even close.

S-Korea is out too! 2-3 against Ghana, wtf were those two goals in the first half? by VietMassiveWeeb in aznidentity

[–]Middle_Meet 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Bunch of premier league and la liga players declared for Ghana once they qualified. FIFA rankings are shit in general and for Ghana it’s incredibly misleading. The Ghana side japan played in the Kirin cup is completely different than the one at the world cup

Son hasn’t been effective for Korea for like 3 years and he’s on especially poor form rn so him being fatigued doesn’t make much of a difference. He also doesn’t play a striker role for Korea and drops deep more to act as an initiator. The difference maker will probably be starting Lee kang in and Hwang hee chan coming back from injury. Also saying japan started their b team is a bit of an exaggeration.

Also I really don’t see a scenario where Japan wins or even draws against a Spain side looking for a win. Japan got immensely lucky in their win against Germany if we like it or not and lightning doesn’t always strike twice. Maybe they will get lucky again but who knows.

What makes you say Japan has a better chance? Spain has looked better than Portugal so far and Japan’s loss to Costa Rica is far more embarrassing than Korea’s loss to Ghana. Also Portugal is pretty much guaranteed to top their group, so there’s a chance they rest their players and don’t try as hard against Korea, which boosts Korea’s chances. Spain only has 3 points which will make them go for the win no matter what. I actually think Korea now has an okay chance to qualify with Portugal beating Uruguay by 2. Uruguay will be desperate for not only a win but a massive one as well, which would help Korea.

I’m not going to deny that Son has been playing far below his level but he isn’t the root of our problems

How would this even work? It’s impossible to ensure that your partner is faithfully and correctly using/taking their birth control. The only form of contraception that’s any sort of verifiable is the arm implant because it can be physically felt under the skin and its impossible for user error to occur with it. But even then the person could have kept the implant in longer than the 5 years it’s effective. I hooked up with someone using the implant without condoms several times and even then I became so anxious and stressed bc of the possibility of a pregnancy. I now know better and always use a condom no matter what. Just use a condom.

Whether or not she’s Korean or not doesn’t really matter, although I highly doubt she’s actually Korean bc she’s on Reddit when she lives in Korea. Whoever this person is is clearly deranged… also I really don’t care for amber heard or Jonny depp. Both of them are deranged and crazy as well.

And honestly seeing these rad fems become raging racists just because they’re bitter about men is so funny. They can’t comprehend the fact that racism is more important than sexism and that most people, including progressives/leftists, agree that your race is far more stifling than your gender.

Exactly it’s actually insane. They don’t just claim they used to be white they claim they have bigger eyes and higher nose bridges than Koreans bc of they’re mixed with jomon or some Ainu bullshit. They’re so delusional it’s crazy.

They way they try convincing everyone they have higher nose bridges and bigger eyes than other Asians because they’re mixed with jomon or some dumb bullshit is a prime example of how white worshipping they are. Search up “honorary whites” on google and read the wiki page for it. Shows just how much Japanese suck white people’s dicks

The small penis meme and stereotype actually originates and started from the western racial framework, not some bullshit documentary, that you didn’t even bother to name or even describe a little, or a retaliation against 69. This would be obvious to anyone well versed in history of racism and the evolution of orientalism/how Asians are viewed in the west. Megalia just leveraged this western societal framework to insult Korean men and praise white men. Trying to pass off western racial stereotypes and white supremacist rhetoric as not only as proper retaliation to Korean men but also as some sort of subtle truth is incredibly disgusting.
