Advocaat wasn’t much of a coach as Hiddink. Our starting lineup should have been like this:

(4-4-2)

GKP: Lee Woon Jae

DEF: Song Chong Guk, Kim Jin Kyu, Kim Young Chul, Lee Young Pyo

MID: Kim Nam Il, Lee Ho, Lee Eul Young, Park Ji Sung

FW: Lee Chun Soo, Cho Jae Jin

Subs:

Kim Sang Sik (If needed in def)
Cho Won Hee (If needed in def)
Seol Ki Hyeon (1st/2nd half)
Park Chu Young (2nd Half)
Ahn Jung Hwan (2nd Half)

IMPORTANT!!!—-

The reason why i suggested Seol Ki-Hyeon, Park Chu Young and Ahn Jung Hwan come on at a later stage, is that Korea’s main strength is STAMINA. After tiring out the opponent a bit, THAT’S the time to bring on Korea’s main guns, with plenty of energy for the game. That would be the main reason for Ahn’s late entry, although i agree that Advocaat brought him on a bit too late at times.

But it’s kinda risky, as the starting lineup may concede some goals (but only if Advocaat decides to put defenders like Lee Young Pyo and Song Chong Guk in midfield…

And Korea doesn’t really have the unity it had in WC 2002. But then again, 2 of our best defenders had ritred after WC 2002, so dat can’t be helped… (Hong Myung Bo, Kim Tae Young)

Actually…the team was headed to sign autographs for fans. I was there.

Hmmm. And hmmm again. I used to watch some games, but… It’s really boring in common sense. Cause – every year almost the same things happen, one team wins, another loses, then again, again and again. Senseless line.

What do you expect from people (KOREAN) which even cannot handle fork and spoon when they eat. They are so proud of themself but they forget without american they are nothing. They the most bad-mannered and rude people which you ever can find all over the world. I hate them indeed.

Never should’ve pitched to Ichiro! Still, incredible game, Korea is definitely one of world baseball’s elite…

my first though after hearing about it was that the North Korea can’t lose, so ridiculous were the accusations in international football. I’ll stay tuned for more info:)

Hey Laura-Claire,

My name’s Brett and write on the K-League for theoffside…

how long have you been a korean soccer fan? do you regularly get to the matches?

Posted from  Australia

Great article and yes we always beat South Korea despite that they play hard with us and yes they certainly deserv to qualify as we do, but not North Korea or Iran with all my due respect.

I think you should make a clear distinction between the North Koreans and South Koreans… it’s ignorant and offensive.

Offensive? Who cares?

It’s good to see Korea making a move this year. They haven’t really made any moves to correct their situation, but at least they are playing hard.

gonna be tough for korea to fix this world cup

Good luck on the blog; as the WC approaches, be prepared for a plethora of nasty posters. I had the same problem 3 years ago when I took over the S.Korea section.

In any event, I don’t see the team doing any better than the previous tournament–the fuss over football in Korea is long gone for the domestic league, and the overall mediocrity of the national team has sort of tried the patience of the masses since 2002.

If they get a weak group, they’ve got a chance at making it into the round of 16, but I wouldn’t bet on it.
