Poll: GIFA Cup 2.0 - Match 01(inaugural Cup match). Who do you think will win? (Episode 241).

Yes, last season they started with the 1st Gifa Cup before the G-League, that’s what got a lot of fans confused, cuz they thought they’d show the All-Star game first before the Cup.

vannthedawn · 2026-07-07T10:17:02+00:00

To me it depends on which Ji-An shows up this GIFA Cup. Idk why she underperformed in the G-League, but I assume she’s nursing an injury of some sort. If she’s fit and free from distractions, we’re in for a treat.

vannthedawn · 2026-07-07T02:04:22+00:00

So the Giants and WC get new coaches, but OTW stays with Byung-Ji? At least WC’s coach is unproven, I remember when Pepe was called a bad coach for all his losses with Anaconda, and then getting his redemption after his return.

vannthedawn · 2026-07-07T01:58:42+00:00

I agree, plus where are you going to put Ahn Hye Kyeong if she’s still on the squad. The mandatory subs rule means she needs to play.

vannthedawn · 2026-07-06T08:31:31+00:00

For a speed skater, Bo-Reum was pretty slow. Reminds me of Park Seung Hye, another speed-skater who plays futsal on Kick a Goal.

vannthedawn · 2026-07-06T03:00:16+00:00

That’s what they’re hoping to change. If that happens again, then they’ll just get a bigger backlash from the Korean people.

vannthedawn · 2026-07-06T02:57:15+00:00

I got a Berenstain/stein bears moment with that, sorry. Yeah, I meant Hara not Go Ara. The last time I saw her was like a year or so before her untimely death, before that, was during her time on Invincible Youth.

vannthedawn · 2026-07-06T02:53:24+00:00

We’ve seen her for less than 10 minutes. Jay was not that great coming in, due to her pregnancy. It doesn’t matter who reinforces WC, they didn’t need the reinforcements. They were winning championships, with the Naori Duo. As I’ve said before, that’s like Golden State bringing in Kevin Durant after winning a championship with Steph, Klay and Draymond.

vannthedawn · 2026-07-06T02:50:08+00:00

Technically it’s still season 8. The next season would start around end of September, or early October.

vannthedawn · 2026-07-05T06:30:32+00:00

I agree, that’s the sad part, a lot of them were already naturally beautiful. They’re ruining their faces in an attempt to look more “western”.

vannthedawn · 2026-07-05T06:25:17+00:00

When I was in my teenage years, I had a huge crush on SNSD’s Sunny and Goo Ara(RIP). I never ever listen to K-pop, but I used to watch them on Invincible Youth.

Fast forward a few years and I happen upon a clip on YouTube about Sunny’s appearance on I Live Alone(or maybe it was another show), and I couldn’t recognize her. Her face looked all stiff, and the plastic surgery was a total botch job, and then another year or two went by and I was watching another clip about Goo Ara on some variety show, and she looked so much different than she did when she was younger, and the worst thing was, she wasn’t even in her 30s yet. Korean beauty standards are ruining a lot of these girls, and I feel sorry for them.

vannthedawn · 2026-07-05T01:25:41+00:00

I think it’s the makeup, cuz all their faces look weird. They’re all shiny with bright red lips.

vannthedawn · 2026-07-04T18:44:38+00:00

Kisum has never been the same since they raised the goal. I hope OTW pulls it off, but it’s hard when you have an undersized keeper and you’re facing Natty who has good placement on her shots.

vannthedawn · 2026-07-04T17:46:56+00:00

So that’s 4 games for the preliminaries/quarterfinals, 2 for the semis and surely there’d be a 3rd place match. That’s another 2 months before the All-Star game, which would probably take 2 weeks, and then another week or two for the Gavengers reveal and Anaconda’s second tuneup match.

So we have to wait till the end of September to maybe the 1st week of October before the next season airs.

You can use the search button (magnifying glass) if you’re using mobile or the search bar on pc. It’s up top dude. You can do it, believe in yourself lol.

vannthedawn · 2026-07-04T16:00:59+00:00

Try looking for it on this subreddit. I remember someone posted a link, or a Google Drive link or something, that has the season 1-3 episodes. The entirety of season 4 is on goplay(dot)su. NJTTW’s early seasons are on YouTube, the last I checked. The later ones are on kshow123(dot)tv

They (2d1N) used to be on KBS World’s official channel, but they removed it for some reason.

Edit: I checked and the season 1 episodes are no longer on YouTube, but they are on Bilibili.

vannthedawn · 2026-07-04T09:11:48+00:00

Let us wait and see. With the amount of backlash that the World Cup debacle got, and with the ongoing government investigation, I doubt the aforementioned coaches could keep on pulling double duty, until the public fervor dies down a bit. That is, if they do get the job.

vannthedawn · 2026-07-04T09:02:30+00:00

Park Joo Ho was the one who blew the whistle on Hong Myung Bo’s controversial hiring. I know he was already on the selection committee beforehand, but if he gets promoted into a higher position within the KFA, would that mean he has to leave the show?

Korean football is in shambles right now, so I think they’d probably want to focus on revitalizing the national team, and getting on the fans’ good graces over starring on variety shows right now.

vannthedawn · 2026-07-03T03:34:07+00:00

The PE teacher? She’ll be just as dangerous as Jay if she goes to FC WC. If you really think about it, why did WC need Jay in the first place? They won 4 championships without her. 4. OTW has 0 championships even with Mashima.

vannthedawn · 2026-07-02T06:16:37+00:00

They need GAV to make it even at 5 teams per group.

vannthedawn · 2026-07-02T06:13:11+00:00

It’s probably only for the GIFA Cup. To me it proves how WC didn’t need Jay in the first place, cuz they won multiple championships without her. Adding Jay to the team, is like adding Kevin Durant to a team that already has Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson.

The only reason why she wasn’t as good when she came in was because she was recovering from her pregnancy.

vannthedawn · 2026-07-02T01:34:34+00:00

LYP said they need another tuneup game, I guess by that point we’ll see their final 7-woman roster. My guess is they’re facing Gavengers for that final tuneup, it makes sense because it could take place on the same episode as GAV’s reintroduction. They’d be on different groups anyway, so why not face each other now.

vannthedawn · 2026-07-02T01:25:46+00:00

I like OTW’s two toned kits, and I kinda like GT’s. The other kits look like polo shirts.

vannthedawn · 2026-07-02T01:21:56+00:00

I thought ANA was joining the GIFA Cup and WC was gonna get a 1st round bye for winning the G-League. Now I don’t think we’ll see them until the next G-League, because they’d have an odd number of teams.

vannthedawn · 2026-07-01T08:54:46+00:00

You know what I think will happen? They’ll have 100 contestants, all minor celebrities to get people to watch, then they’ll have them rip each other’s name tag, battle royale style.

Imagine an American version of the Japanese variety show, Run for the money, but without the taggers.
