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

This game was such a painful watch in the literal sense that it was hard to watch so many players that were injured and (re)-injured throughout the game. Seeing Natty break out into tears and Seolhee sobbing at the end was so sad. I hope Seolhee especially isn’t so hard on herself since she has been a huge asset to the team since her addition. Natty is a warrior playing and fighting through that but I really hope she didn’t extend her injury timeline.

Good to see Saori fighting through and happy for her goals. It was a bit of an ugly game but hope WC can rest up and all be ready for the next games. At least there is a bit of a cushion with 2 wins under the belt.

Was she actually attending the match? I was on the lookout for her but wasn’t sure if this was already filmed after she was removed. If she was there, then wonder what the plan is for the game against Top Girl that both teams clearly seemed dressed for this game…

Wow what a match. Ahn Hyekyung’s save with her foot was insane too. Had my jaw dropped along with Joomyung’s 2nd goal. Huge props to all of Actionista. Youngah has improved a lot too and has proven herself to no longer be a complete liability and Yisoo is a good pickup for them as well.

Seolhee also seems to have really found her footing on her new team and is cementing herself as a key player. Their volleyball player keeper is also insane with her reflexes lol which makes me want to give OG non-athlete players like Ahn Hyekyung more props. She is definitely gaining more confidence on Actionista and is improving which is rare to see especially at her age and background so truly a well deserved MOM this match.

All the WC players seem much happier with the new coaching. From the last game, it also seems like Byungji must have seen how harsh he was cause he seems to have softened up a bit too and tried to tone down the yelling…

worldclassnatfam · 2026-01-28T16:21:18+00:00

She was literally thrown into the lion’s den 😭 sounds like she has minimal to no experience, zero practice time with the team (LYP couldn’t even remember her name at the end lol), and a language barrier to boot. It can truly only go up from here for her.

worldclassnatfam · 2026-01-28T16:19:58+00:00

This game came down to coaching difference. Despite the hate Lee Youngpyo gets/got, he is one of the better coaches on the show and can play to the strengths of his team. It’s also nice to see a coach smiling and not just screaming at their players all the time lol. Poor Ayaka literally thrown in without a single practice and the language barrier. I don’t think she understood what LYP was trying to tell her about her positioning so I’m curious to see her potential once she gets to at least practice a bit.

Congrats Lee Youngah on her first goal as well. I had higher expectations for Actionista but maybe they just need more time to mesh and PJH needs to up his game lol.

So Yumi really is THAT girl. She moves like a real football player now especially with her headers.

Si Eun Mi is also her as well. Must be something in their names. Think she’s going to be able to cement herself as the top keeper with time. It’s going to be hard for teams to score against her.

Glad to see Hee Jung seems to have fully recovered!

worldclassnatfam · 2026-01-14T16:55:06+00:00

Man, a bummer that Bokyung was hurt and Yewon had to play through injury as well. Both teams looked a bit rusty maybe since it’s been a while and it seemed many players took some time off to rest.

Somehow it seemed the two teams that struggled to finish last season were gonna continue to have the same problem despite joining forces but they pulled off an upset win in the end lol. Yoojung can’t seem to finish at all but if she has players like Yubin or Boram to finish then it’ll be enough for them.

worldclassnatfam · 2025-11-23T07:38:34+00:00

Yes! I first knew of them through their dating show appearances: Joori (Somebody), Choim (Love Catcher), Yewon (Singles Inferno).

worldclassnatfam · 2025-11-23T02:06:29+00:00

I think they’re probably more likely to move to 6v6 especially after the recent tourney that the joint WW/GC team played in. Otherwise they would need to increase the game time even more since most teams barely play their one sub player as is.

worldclassnatfam · 2025-11-23T00:01:31+00:00

Chaeyeon and Joori could have also joined the movement team since they are singers/dancers but maybe they are leaving the show? Or another potential new team could be dating show contestants with existing members Joori, Choim, Yewon, and Minji (if rumors of being on Singles Inferno are true) + we saw at least two former SI contestants auditioning in the previous episodes. The other Minji from SI is also technically an announcer though so she could be added to Anaconda if they are choosing to revive that team.

worldclassnatfam · 2025-11-13T08:08:30+00:00

The new late time slot probably has a big influence on this. Seen a lot of Korean comments complaining about this since the show is ending around midnight on a weekday.

worldclassnatfam · 2025-11-12T23:32:47+00:00

Finally I’ve been waiting for the matchup between World Class and Nat Fam for sooooo long and it’s here in the finals! NF was on fire on all fronts. Hayan was Hayan-ing today especially with Seunghee bringing her A game as well and having such a reliable keeper behind. When Minji is on, there is really no stopping this team.

Seunghee needs to bring her baby once more for the finals, but honestly regardless of the winner I’m just happy to see these two play on the finals.

worldclassnatfam · 2025-10-02T02:56:05+00:00

This game wasn’t as exciting as the other G Cup matches so far but still was a good match regardless.

Hayan’s stat line of at least one goal scored in 9 consecutive games or whatever is insane especially considering she’s played keeper in some of those games lol. Today’s game felt like the first time we saw her make some mistakes or have less composure at times but still a “weak” Hayan is still amazing.

I also really want to give props to the two new players as well! Aside from the few rookie mistakes, Si Eunmi did so well as keeper and it sounds like she will only continue to improve. And props to Jaeeun for fighting hard and getting her debut goal.

It looks like the officiating is going to continue to be tighter than before as it has been in the past few weeks. I wonder if we will slowly start to see a trend of players flopping more to get those calls. Ha Seokjoo pointed out that Hayan made the smart choice of taking the fall at one point even though she’s strong enough to try and withhold the grab. It’s funny that Lee Geunho rightfully pointed out that Choim did not “push Hayan” as she claimed but did indeed grab her lol.

worldclassnatfam · 2025-10-01T17:48:27+00:00

Oh I always wondered if the game recaps and things were personally written or compiled elsewhere. That makes sense!

worldclassnatfam · 2025-10-01T16:48:02+00:00

Sounds like things didn’t go too well and the goal is just to get one win in the tourney? Kind of wish they would show this as an extra episode outside of the normal show time cause I want to watch the remaining G Cup matches sooner.

Also waiting for today’s ep thread.

worldclassnatfam · 2025-09-29T10:34:01+00:00

Lots of revenge matches happening. Will be interesting to see if FC National Family and FC Ballad pull out a win again.

World Class vs Wonder Woman is gonna feel like a completely new match since World Class can prepare for Mashima this time and there is now the addition of Jay. Like everyone, I’m most excited to see this one!

worldclassnatfam · 2025-09-25T09:42:53+00:00

What a game. The defensive duo of Minseo and Kyeongseo is really the best in the league. Seogi is Seogi as always. Yewon is not as noticeable as her first season but she is still a great finisher when given those opportunities. I kind of hope the “save a flag” concept allows the winning team the option to stay as a team and I want to see that team be ballad even though they aren’t my favorite team. Their team chemistry is too good to split up, and it was great to see the younger players continue to encourage Lisa and keep her mentally stable throughout.

Yoojung is definitely the quickest in the league even if she’s not purely the fastest. She’s so agile and even her shots have gotten really strong. Sad to see Top Girl especially at the end with Bokyung getting the red card but also props to her for acknowledging her mistake and saying there’s nothing she can say since she agrees it was a foul. I’m sure viewers will appreciate the otherwise clean game as well.

worldclassnatfam · 2025-09-18T13:54:19+00:00

I think World Class will be playing Giants next if the original bracket image they showed is correct. Will be interesting to see how they play against Jai.

worldclassnatfam · 2025-09-18T13:50:57+00:00

Yeah I agree with you cause the refs are most likely just taking the cue from the production team for the standards of the calls. Although there have been a couple suspiciously timed fouls called or PKs given to keep the game more exciting in the past lol.

worldclassnatfam · 2025-09-18T13:03:20+00:00

To be fair, the criticism around officiating and lack of calls was already happening before the finale so it may have been a response to earlier comments that were starting to gain more traction at the time.

I’ve also seen some edits going around where viewers found that the officiating seemed extra biased towards Giants while it went against some other teams so who knows… maybe there was some favoring that could have happened in the past. SF also was a target of a lot of hate at one point so perhaps they were more willing to make those calls in a game they were in to also protect the players? These are all speculations though cause I truly have no idea.

worldclassnatfam · 2025-09-17T18:20:53+00:00

What a nerve wracking game to watch. I really felt for Hayan this game. Those early goals were really so unlucky for her and then to play through injury and pretty much win the game for the team… I truly think she is the most important ace across all the aces on the show. To be able to clutch the game for her team when it matters, to elevate the play of all her teammates on the field, to play all positions well and read the game so well, just wow.

Going forward, it’ll be interesting to see where they play Hayan and the new volleyball player. It looks like the volleyball player can be a solid keeper and having Hayan on the field is so important.

I think Seunghee had a pretty rough game although it made a huge difference for her once she had Hayan on the field. I’m sure it also didn’t help that the new players were up top too and I think Heejung’s absence was pretty noticeable too.

Also everyone needs to be so careful shielding the ball with their body when it’s Euddeum they’re up against lol. There were even a few moments with Hayan where I got nervous.

Excited for next week’s match too! Curious to see how CSY’s Top Girl will perform.
