south korea v australia

[teppic]

half time

no timmy sadly, or i would have gone up to seoul to watch this one.

it's 2-1 to the koreans at half time.

entertaining enough.

nice goal form park chu young who now plays for monaco a player i'd have liked us to have had a look at before he left korea.

in fact there are quite a few young koreans in this team playing well.

It's funny isn't it? 20 years ago, how many European football fans would have taken any notice of this fixture? Nowadays however, There are a fair few European teams I'd rather face in a world cup group than these two.

exactly james.

i've just finished watching the match and i tell you what.

korea look very handy. there is a new generation of players in their team a lot of players in thier early 20's and they look not bad at all.

korea won this 3-1 in the end, but australia were right up for this. they hit the post and korera's keeper lee woon jae pulled out a couple of top saves.

both have qualified for the world cup and i would not like either in a group with england.
