Korea Rep 2 - 1 Nigeria : International Friendly Highlights

[promaja2]

can someone explain me why are they playing this match havent they play it on world cup?!?!?!

[chopinandliszt]

@promaja2 Kind of like how Japan had a friendly match with Paraguay, Korea & Nigeria wanted to have some kind of a "rematch", (mainly because the first match ended in a draw) it was also a "consolation match" for Nigeria who couldn't get to the round of 16 as a result of its match with Korea at the WC.

Odemwingie should please remain our Captain for now.

Please when will they stop inviting Danny Shittu to Super Eagles. That boy is not a footballer. He simply can not play.

프리킥실점한거, 이운재가 그냥 펀치해버렸어야 했는데 - 약간 아쉽네요, 

[2009xellos]

어떻게 며칠준비한거랑, 2년6개월준비한거랑 판이하게다를까요? 윤빛가람, 최효진 발탁되자마자 골넣고. 조광래감독님 FC경남감독으로 있을때 아끼던 선수 윤빛가람을 넣었다고, 학연지연이라 비난받을까봐 걱정했다죠.

한국인이 냄비근성있다지만, 네티즌들 대다수, 개념있는사람들 그렇지도않아요.

전 다음경기 이란전의 결과가 좋지않아도, 조광래감독까지않을겁니다. 이기냐, 지냐를 떠나서 재밌는, 지능적인 축구전술을 보여주기때문이죠.

그리고 다른나라사람들도 잘하면, 칭찬하고, 못하면, 깝니다. 한국보다 심한나라도 있어요.

정무씨가 남탓만안했어도, 사람들이 좋게보았을텐데, 역대최초중국한테 패, 그것도 3:0으로 처참하게 발려놓고 말했죠 - "깨끗히잊되기억은하자". 전술, 용병술없다는건인정합시다. 잠비아한테 2:4? 그것도, 점유율 40:60 ??

일본전 3:1은 평소하던 "주워먹기, 세트피스"쓰지않고 잘했죠, 하지만, 일본이 못했던거같내요,

Park Chu Young....... the dude's really starting to piss me off now.

[twofacedbackstabba]

@pong224  go park chu young!

[jz45k1002]

@pong224 same

hes missin a lot of goals :(

[PepsiiiTwiSt]

@pong224 Nah Park Chu Young is awesome! People who knows how to watch Football all praises Park Chu Young for his genius play-making skills. Maybe learn to watch Football and you'll start liking him lol..

It's true he doesn't score all that much, but this isn't the 90s anymore where only the Forwards score. In modern Football, everyone scores, including the defenders. So with that in mind, Park Chu Young scores as much as the others.

[supatoker420]

I like Koreas new coach, and I am a Yoon myself, but that guys name is strange, Bit-Garam?

[Iffeany260]

NIGERIA I WILL NOT FORGIEVE YOU FOR WAT HAPPEN

AT THE WORLD CUP

THE WHOLE FUKIN WORLD KNEW WE SHOULD HAVE WON THAT MATCH

but that missed almost cost nigeria no to play intenatonal by our fukin president :@

[NeiLoMei]

@Iffeany260 How can a team who misses opportunities like that in a crunch game deserve to win the game??? That makes no sense.

[2009xellos]

@Iffeany260 I beg to differ - so far, Nigeria has played 5 games against Korea - 2 draws, 3 losses. But, Nigeria is indeed a STRONG team, and proved to be a very tough opponent for Korea

[Iffeany260]

@2009xellos ye true

but please EXPLAIN THE FUCKIN SHAMEFUL PERFORMANCE

IN WORLD CUP

SIMPLY THE COACH FUCKED UP THE STARTER for nigeria ??

[2009xellos]

@Iffeany260 Well, the last coach had no strategical mind whatsoever and mostly relied on the player's skills of scoring using freekicks, corner kicks.

[Iffeany260]

@2009xellos seriously the oach needs to be fired

if we loose agnist madagascarr i will shoot the team and the coach

and btw yakubu is not in the nigerian team anymore

his a call Up

[jz45k1002]

@lffeany260 but u guys didnt win....

[Iffeany260]

@jz45k1002 no shit

just look at our performance

fukin hopeless nigeria :(

[capuletmontague1]

Im a korea fan. and to be honest I really dont like our defence and goalkeeper.

Jung is pretty rubbish :(. I thought we were excellent in attack and midfield in the world cup, but even in this game we show that our defence is SOOO weak. If you look at the clearances, or stupid mistakes. WE CANT DEFEND against set pieces - just basics

I think this is because Koreans like goalscorers and attackers - we need to develop young players into good defenders and keepers!!!!

[chopinandliszt]

@capuletmontague1 statements like "Jung is rubbish" doesn't mean anything considering how intensely the players have worked to get themselves in the national team - Nigeria scored by freekick during Lee's last moments as the national goalkeeper, then he was switched by Jung.

Jung's one of the best we have - of the 6 goals scored against korea, one of them was our own, and another was clearly offside - Higuine's 2nd goal was offside, even the Belgian assistant referee later confessed.

[chopinandliszt]

@capuletmontague1 so really - it's safe to say that, before korea got to the round of 16, Korea allowed the other teams to score only 4 "legitimate" goals.

As for Korea liking offensive players, I think all countries with relatively little football background have this in common (the Korean national league started in 1983), deep down, they "prioritize getting good FW first", this mentality will change as their national league makes more and more progress.

[chopinandliszt]

@capuletmontague1 But, you're right in saying that the Korean defense during WC was highly flawed. I blame on the incompetence of the coach 허접무 and his inferior tactic of seperating the offensive and the defensive squads in two "unconnected" masses.

The new coach had only a few days to prepare for his first match - and it's striking how much improvement he made on the team 허접무 messed up so bad.

ps. look on the bright side - Parkjisung didn't play in the 2nd half and korea made it that far.

[chopinandliszt]

@capuletmontague1 One last thing - I know Jung doesn't fulfill the expectation we had on Lee, and it's not so surprising to many of us. He's young and (like the new Italian goalkeeper who played against Slovakia, New Zealand, Croatia) has yet to learn, experience a lot. Jo Yong Hyung made a lot of improvement recently.

[abadichelsea]

I think that Saudi Arabia is the most successful team in Asia .

[vjboom1]

@abadichelsea r u crazy?

[havik206]

@abadichelsea um no

[redoxb]

Our Keeper is still a rookie.. Vincent Enyeama would have done better

[EmperorAtahualpa]

I really love the Korean fans! Look at how fanatical they are even for such a simple friendly match...

BTW, this was Lee Woon Jae's last match for the South Korean national team, right? That is a big shame...he was such an excellent keeper. He could have played for a big team in Europe!

[vjboom1]

@EmperorAtahualpa he couldn't... he is too old. and short. for EPL standards...

[EmperorAtahualpa]

@vjboom1: Right now he is too old to move to Europe indeed, although he's not too old to retire. For instance, Van der Sar is 39 (40 in two months) and he is still the first goalkeeper for Manchester United.

Also he is 1.82 meters which is perfectly alright for a goalkeeper. For instance, Mexico's goalkeeper Jorge Campos (one of Mexico's record internationals) is only 1.68 meters.

I'm convinced that if Lee would have moved to Europe at an early age, he would have succeeded.

[ayaya1423]

thank you! i wanted to see this game!

[dinuni09]

Thanks everytime~!^^

[chibicello]

i saw this game live :)))

[K186]

i feel like this friendly shows just how much KNT has matured after WC2010, like a coming of age for the younger players like PCY. Confidence seems sky high with a new coach, new players, etc. All this keeping in mind it was just a friendly. Entertaining game.

[roby6117]

Good restart!

Ji Sung's through pass is really great!

Thanks for uploading!!

[wontonsipodhelp]

Korea has new players to keep the Korean soccer team going. :)

PS - Yoon Bit-Garam is a weird name instead of three words like Park Ji Sung. He has 4 words. :/ Weird.

[sharinganWS]

@wontonsipodhelp suk hyun jun is the future who plays for ajax fc and only 18 years old! and Son Heung-Min, who already scored nine goals in free season in germany for Humburger fc and became top goal scorer.... and ONLY 18, and there are more i can name who all play in european club but 2 good examples of korea rising stars.....

[sharinganWS]

@wontonsipodhelp oops sorry Son Heung-Min plays for hamburger SV

[KoreArmy]
