I will say that as a Korean, an additional context is that Hong only became coach (for two !! World Cups) due to an insane amount of corruption AND the team lineup that we had was considered to be once in a generation kind of lineup. Also this might be Son Heung Min’s last World Cup, and he’s one of the best soccer players in Korean history.
Hence all the outrage. But also agree that our responses are dramatic. What can I say? We’re a deeply feeling nation
sorry again about Uruguay :/ I am sooooo bummed about Iran just barely missing out. I was able to go to the Iran vs Egypt game in Seattle, and the last ~10 minutes of that was probably the craziest bit of sports I have ever seen. Iran felt scrappy in a way that could have made waves in the knockout stage. I know that I should be rooting for the US, and I think I will, but I think it would be awesome if they got beat by Bosnia. The US sort of deserves a loss, let's be real -- if i have to hear any more about the 'golden generation', I will lose my mind...
As a Canadian I feel it's my duty to tell you that is not Stephen Eustaquio...
I need to quit I cannot with the embarrassment. Will fix this as soon as I get home!
That is not Stephen Eustaquio. I have unsubscribed..
Definitely had you in my thoughts during the Uruguay/ Spain match <3
