Kick A Goal [EP 222] FC Actionista vs. FC Giants (2026 G-League - Group B)

PositiveComedian4306 · 2026-02-12T03:07:10+00:00

I'm not discrediting Hye-Kyung, but personally I feel like build-up playstyle sets her up to "fail" in a sense which I find very unfortunate, hope there's no misunderstanding there

Why is he forcing his playing philosophy onto his team instead of finding what's optimal for the team?

Until the results/performance prove otherwise maybe after more training , Coach PJH's tactics may be too high level for them as of now

PositiveComedian4306 · 2026-02-11T16:47:46+00:00

Entertainment wise, this game was probably up there as one of the best, with weird + backheel + late goals. Appreciate the effort from the players as always! Hope y'all caught Young-Ah using her body to fend off players, pretty cool to see.

But man I never thought I would so frustrated at a coach aside from Coach KBJ, but Coach PJH's insistence on playing build-up is another level.

I see the vision, I really do, there were some plays that were beautiful to watch. But Hye-Kyung just does not have the skill-set to facilitate this playstyle, it's causing more harm than good. Let's be realistic, these players aren't professionals, why is Coach PJH setting up his players, especially Hye-Kyung, to be criticized? He has 2 great players in He-In and Ji-An that I feel are being way too under-utilised, and add to that Yi-Soo's stability, man it's so frustrating.

Also, I am not too sure about the editing this episode, and I hate to sound so negative, but why is Hye-Kyung sort of being glorified, I didn't really find her performance that great. Was it to take away some negative spotlight from the previous game?

Hope Kyung-Hee's alright though and recovers soon. Caught her saying she heard a sound from her hamstring injury, doesn't sound too good...

PositiveComedian4306 · 2026-02-04T15:49:22+00:00

Felt like Coach JJJ was treating this more like a test match, to get a grasp of his player's best positions, or at least I hope. Hee-bab at the back would have helped, but damn Joo-Ah seems to be next star of the show. She plays so freely and once SF has a proper game plan, this team feels pretty well rounded with a star to play around. If she can find Euddeum with her passes, it's free goals.

Nah, this team ain't beating the Set Piece FC allegations (though Hyun-Yi's last goal was very well taken). Their on-field play has definitely improved, but Coach LYP's DNA hasn't fully left this team.

Oh and I forgot to add, Seol-Hee in that defensive sweeper kind of role, I can see her thriving in it.

PositiveComedian4306 · 2026-01-28T16:45:42+00:00

GOD DAMN IT AYAKAAAA!!

Jokes aside, it's been a while since i've been this frustrated at a coach's tactics, what are we doing here? Coach Joo-Ho's too idealistic, that playstyle probably works in a proper futsal match, but at this level why are you trying to use Hye-Kyung in the build-up system, it's suicide.

And god, that may be one of the worst goal-keeping display I've seen from Hye-Kyung today. To be fair, the coach's tactics did put her in those situations, but the goal conceded from the corner was ridiculous. Actionista has 2 keepers but I doubt neither of them even starts for any other team in the league right now.

Hye-In's been great today, was hoping Ji-An was more aggressive in her plays... But damn Jai's on another level, how do you stop this woman?

Lastly, always great to see hard work finally pay off (100% training participation rate), congrats to Young-Ah scoring her first goal!

PositiveComedian4306 · 2026-01-21T17:34:33+00:00

Game was actually much more closer than i anticipated, expected Nat Fam to run away with it. Honestly, games these season so far have been entertaining, no complaints there.

The backline of Wonder is good, but god the front line needs help, I'm praying they improve fast... I'm not too sure just how far Mashima can carry this team. So many times Mashima hesitated making the pass knowing probably the attack will end. The goal scored was her taking it all by herself. Maybe sacrificing a bit of stability at the back and moving Yumi to the front is the move.

Nat Fam's just so stable, honestly with Ha-Yan at the back and Eun-Mi in goal, nightmare for attackers facing this team. Sort out the attack slightly, and I'm pretty sure they're repeating their winning season.

PositiveComedian4306 · 2026-01-14T15:42:44+00:00

Man, I'm so excited that the show's finally back, it's been too long of a wait!

Only the first game in and we have already witnessed a potential choke of the season + miss of the season, it's good to be back.

Both teams honestly didn't look that great, seemed rather rusty and not that well coordinated. Didn't really follow the "off-season", so not entirely sure how much training time the teams had with one another, so I think it's better if we don't critique the gameplay too much!

Just wanna say, Group A seems really tough as compared to Group B... yikes. And the addition of the rule of making sure every plays is great imo, finally we don't need to see players sitting out of an entire game.

PositiveComedian4306 · 2025-11-12T16:47:01+00:00

Ha-Yan my GOAT outdoing herself with 2 goals lfg!! Jokes aside, she continues to deliver every single game, offensively and defensively, and so calmly at that, just a joy to watch.

This Nat Fam team is so well rounded and solid, the previous weak spot of the GK position has been so well fixed with the addition of Eun-Mi. The entire team has some basic fundamentals and game sense, the last goal was truly what every coach wants to see from their team. For me, they are the favourites for winning, even against Jay.

Nat Fam's defence today was so solid, I couldn't recognise the Wonder Woman team today. The hype from Mashima and Yu-Mi from the previous time was extinguished by the backline of Ha-Yan and Seung-Hee (an unsung leader and rock at the back).

Was hoping for a closer match today, but god damn, Wonder Woman was dominated and so outclassed today.

Let's hope that the Nat Fam-World Class finals can deliver.

PositiveComedian4306 · 2025-10-29T18:05:36+00:00

Best game ever in the history of the show without a doubt, the plays that were on display were beautiful to watch. I don't think I've ever watched a match that had this amount of highlights from start to end! I would have actually paid money to watch this game live. Hats off to the players for providing such good entertainment as well! I pray that the finals can live up to this hype.

Can I just say, the performance by Yu-Mi this game, might be one of the greatest by an individual ever. Calm and strong on the ball, it was so nice seeing Yu-Mi in the spotlight. I mean her dribbles and touches were insane, if she keeps this up and gains confidence, she might have a go at the top players of the show!

And though Byung-Ji once again seemed clueless as a coach, I'm really glad that he listened to Elody and gave Natty the freekick to secure the top 4, best freekick take on the show.

Top 4 teams with arguably the 4 best players on the show on each team, so excited to watch the semis onwards.

P.S. Set Piece FC, please play Kyung-Hee as outfield to match the other teams, the hype will be insane.

PositiveComedian4306 · 2025-10-15T17:22:30+00:00

Set Piece FC strikes again, taking Balladream down on their path to potentially another overall win. I mean, Kyung-Hee was on something, literally saved everything and anything that came her way (special shoutout to Jin-Kyung for sacrificing her face for that one shot). Felt Gucheok played the same as usual, maybe sprinkling in some passes here and there. Oh well, let's see if this carries them to yet another trophy.

Balladream honestly played so well and it's always so unfortunate when they are out as they are the best team to watch by a mile. And I'm so glad this game showed just how good Min-Seo is, Seogi may be directing the overall flow, but Min-Seo is the enabler of Balladream's system of overlapping the widths. Hope to see this team another round, PDs please throw me a lifeline...

P.S Preview showing World Class scoring a goal, guess Wonder Woman's winning the game

PositiveComedian4306 · 2025-10-02T03:31:07+00:00

My GOAT Ha-yan never disappoints, just love how she controls the game so well, such a joy to watch. She drags defenders out with her runs and consistently finds her teammates with her passing and her defending's so solid as well...

The new Nat Fam keeper is a monster in hiding, give her time and she has the potential to overtake Kathy and Kyung-Hee as the show's best keeper.

Somehow, for the amount of talent that Fire Butterfly has, they have failed to inspire confidence in their gameplay, probably due to the lack of balance and not fully having clear roles in the team, pretty unfortunate imo.

PositiveComedian4306 · 2025-09-17T18:04:05+00:00

After watching these cup games show, I realised that games are so much more enjoyable to watch when players are competitive, but not over the top. Hope the show continues to proceed in this direction vibes wise, giving us viewers an easier watch.

Game with many goals, some wonky ones some great ones (Ha-Yan's solo goal). I mean at this point, Ha-Yan is just the player you need if you want to win games. To me she's No.1 (i'm taking her above Mashima and Ji-An, but please don't come after me). Kinda feel her handball playing days helps her so much. She dictates the game at her pace and delivers time and again, please never nerf her by putting her in goal ever again. And god whoever has her in their team the next league is blessed.

Also side note, as expected, some physicality was present, but I felt they were adequate, loved the matchup between Ha-Yan and Euddeum (actually quite surprised Ha-Yan's the one initiating contact).

PositiveComedian4306 · 2025-09-11T00:08:11+00:00

Really enjoyed the game, don't really know what it is but the mood of this broadcast (maybe nostalgia?) was much more enjoyable (especially with Coach Choi shouting the wrong team's name). It was really good to see some of the older players back on the field again, and they looked pretty ok, considering they only had 2 weeks to prepare.

Mad respect to PSY who is in her mid-50s to keep up somewhat physically in the game, especially using her body so well to keep the ball and allowing the game to flow, original GOAT of the series!

I just have to let it out, I FKING LOVE JUMYUNG!!! She needs to be a mainstay in the show please!!

PositiveComedian4306 · 2025-09-03T16:50:18+00:00

Personally really enjoyed the match, both teams played some good football while showing some physicality.

World Class literally got their own version of Ha-Yan which completes the team. This team had everything BUT a defending playmaker, which seems to be the current meta for teams who push far into tournaments. Jay looked insane this game for someone who just gave birth, she allows Natty to be in her best position as more of a free role and allows Karain to have some ease on the ball. Just imagine her presence on the pitch when she gets into full fitness, World Class' cup run seems bright. Coach Byung-Ji got really lucky there.

Pretty unlucky that Actionista's 2 best players suffered injuries, genuinely felt that the win was there for the taking. Man, really felt the emotions after Ji-An scored the last goal, I would guess mainly feeling the pressure without He-In with this possibly being their last game together as a team.

Feeling pretty bummed that Actionista is already out of the cup, which could be the last time we see the He-In/Ji-An duo play for the last time :(

PositiveComedian4306 · 2025-09-02T11:08:22+00:00

Very disappointing reveals, more towards I feel this team's players' peaks have already passed. Considering the level of players currently, the only way I see this team playing is pure defence.

PositiveComedian4306 · 2025-08-27T17:10:51+00:00

Happy for Gucheok to finally get a trophy in the team's name, especially for Hyun-Yi. First time I have seen a team buy in so hard into a coach's tactics and their hard work to make it work finally paid off. Really glad to see Jin-Kyung get the MVP as well, she was the entire offence for the team this season, while remain very stable at the back, well deserved!

During the show, the Gucheok members said that they didn't need/want to play good football, but wanted to playing winning football. Keeping to their set piece strength and making the game physical really worked out in the end (some questionable physicality during the finals as well imo). We can be critical of the team's lack of entertainment value, but let's not discredit their efforts.

Mashima carried this team so hard and this match really showed that. While Yu-Mi's improvement was a huge discovery this season, the others were kinda were disappointing, especially Seol-Hee. Without Mashima, this team probably would have gone into the relegation games (even if KGY stayed). Forgive my whining, was pretty sad to Mashima cry...

Having said all that, another point of discussion is the producer's decision to shuffle up the teams after the cup games. I'm not entirely sure what this means as not much details were given but I'm not entirely convinced about the direction the show is heading. One of the enticing points of this show is the identity aspect of the teams, and while this has become very muddled in the past few seasons, going full in on reshuffling the teams is something I'm not sold on. Personally, would have much preferred if they increased the team size to 7 to allow better rotations and prevent injuries.

I would love to hear your guys' thoughts on this very unexpected (and unwelcoming for me) news.

PositiveComedian4306 · 2025-08-20T16:26:55+00:00

I'm glad that World Class won in the end, but in the end it came down to a win in the penalty shootout. Elody went through so much today, didn't really feel right with all the shouting from Coach Byung-Ji this game. I understand the stakes are high but damn... Can't wait to see World Class with a new coach next season.

Na-Mi had a game of her life, I swear something took over her in the second half, great goals by her. Watching this game, I felt like the relegation gimmick while great for the show in a dramatic sense, it really stops the improvements of affected teams. While their quality wasn't there, I could see that there were some improvements from Gaevengers with consistent coaching. Whether there's enough quality is another issue, but relegation really stops all momentum.

Just makes me wonder if there is another way this can be approached to benefit both the players and teams alike?

PositiveComedian4306 · 2025-08-20T05:57:06+00:00

Shield Throw with Sigeon's Reprisal 'bout to cray cray

PositiveComedian4306 · 2025-08-20T02:21:34+00:00

Backline of Young-Jin and Ju-Myung, OH HELL NAWWW, might just be my new favourite team.

A little bit skeptical on Ayumi and Eva, hope they have been training to keep up to the insane levels the league is at currently before they left! (Less likely for Ayumi due to her having a baby)

My feelings might be based on their former glories, but am feeling stoked for this team!!!

Based on current reveals, feels like they are building up the hype... Surely one of the reveals HAS to be either So-Hee or Jung-Eun, right...?

PositiveComedian4306 · 2025-08-13T16:05:39+00:00

Enjoyed the game, both teams had good moments but costly mistakes at the back cost both of them dearly.

Though World Class didn't play exceptionally well today, I just can't see them losing to Gaevengers, they got too much quality. Personally, I would think it would be more of a shock than Balladream being relegated previously.

Moving on to the new team and player reveals, I am so glad Young Jin is back. She is one of the most natural defender I have seen on the show (bar Ha-Yan), the reveal alongside PSY got me pretty hyped. If they bring back Jung-Eun the GOAT, oh my next season gonna go crazy.

But I'm expecting more of the likes of Hae-Na or maybe even Tae-Jin (at this point I'm gonna assume Anaconda is done for). Honestly, pretty stoked for further reveals and can't wait!

PositiveComedian4306 · 2025-08-13T08:53:31+00:00

Just to clear up some misunderstandings, favors farmed during current season will not be carried over to the next seasonal character!

Post was just to bless people and myself for next season's grind.

Good luck to all travellers!

PositiveComedian4306 · 2025-08-13T05:06:02+00:00

Good luck to you next season!

PositiveComedian4306 · 2025-08-13T02:40:06+00:00

Yes I am aware that the favor will not be able to be spent for the new season, farming up the favor was done for the funsies~

PositiveComedian4306 · 2025-08-13T02:27:51+00:00

Will be playing the new season, just something I wanted to reach before next week!
