i watched the first south korean game in a great sports bar in itaewon. just me, a bunch of foreigners, and a whole lot of rowdy koreans. it was a great time. their second game was during the week, so a group of use went out for dinner right in handaeup to catch the game.

all the tables and large screens were out. we had to get a table inside because all the outside tables were previously reserved. needless to say. . . there was a massive crowd. it was a rough game to watch. argentina really schooled south korea.

i was talking about the game with my students a few hours before. i said it would be a tough game since argentina was so good. she reassured me, 'that's ok, we have Park Ji-Sung' (the south korean who plays for Man. U.) Park Ji-Sung wasn't quite enough.
