As you can imagine (because you remember how it was from the last one, right Suho?), things are different when they are happening where you are. Oh, and a big congrats for S. Korea! A win is a win! [/quote] Well, yes, I see your point. What I meant by the figure of speech, though, was just a generic "giving up." But I can understand how it must be particularly frustrating for you over there. At least the US isn't in Germany's group, though, huh? That was killer in 2002, when the US had to play Korea. I was so relieved when they drew. And yes, a win is a win, and Korea definitely needed one. In other news, I wasn't able to watch the France-Switzerland or Brazil-Croatia matches, but I just took a look at the results... France drew against Switzerland... leaving Korea at the top of the group so far! Sure, their win was against Togo, and both France and Switzerland are probably going to beat Togo as well, but if Korea can pull out another win, they're guaranteed to go through! Aargh... this is why I was disappointed that Korea didn't push for another goal against Togo. Let's say that, assuming French and Swiss wins against Togo, Korea loses against France and draws against Switzerland (a slightly optimistic scenario, to be perfectly honest). That would mean Korea and Switzerland would be tied for second place in points. What does it come down to after that? Goals! You can bet that Switzerland is not going to be satisfied with a one-goal victory over Togo, and the shaky Korean defense is going to have a hard time fending off the French forwards. Without another win, Korea is pretty much guaranteed not to advance. Or maybe I'm being pessimistic. After all, France still doesn't seem to be back on track since their derailment last time around (they have scored a finals goal since 1998). Ah, but it all comes down to defense! The Korean defense is like a sieve, and you can bet the Swiss and French forwards are going to capitalize on that far more than the Togo forwards did. I just can't believe that Kim Sangsik and Kim Jingyu (or Lee Ho, for that matter) are the best we can come up with. Still, gotta keep hope alive. :) We'll have to see how Korea do against France on the 18th. A crushing defeat would most likely finish them, but a strong outing could put them in a good frame of mind for the final match against Switzerland.
