Russia defeated S. Korea 4-2 today

[Omids]

Amature defending by korea.

[inarsenewetrust]

I cant believe ppl defending korea's performance " they attacked well " . They conceded 4 fucking goals against russia who can hardly score against anybody. that in its own tells you all you need to know about their WC chances. They will face far better attacking teams than russia...if they were undone by a few shitty crosses, I can only imagine what will happen when a team that can connect passes, hit on the counter, whatever faces them, Lights out

Koreans Scoring TWO own goals!!! This is so pathetic!!! I wish the Uzbeks had more spine and qualifies over these fools!!... Im sure TM will teach the Russians a little better footbal!!...

[GoIran]

Is Russia that good? Or is Korea that bad? Or a bit of both?

TM just needs to not lose by several goals to maintain our FIFA ranking.

Last year...

[GoIran]

2 of the Russian goals were own goals by Korea.

Korea's #5 scored 2 own goals in 3 minutes lol.

Korea's #5 scored 2 own goals in 3 minutes lol.

He is going to get free & unlimited spicy Kimchi into his ass when he gets back home. Nobody in Korea wants to be him now. :-) J/K

[Sly]

Korea is by far not that team that it used to be in the park-ji-sung era.

yet they manage to qualify to the WC! That means strength! Even in their worst periods, they are strong enough.

We can not say the same about TM though?

[Leicester City]

We really shouldn’t be worried about this friendly when we beat a stronger Chilean side 2-0 with a weaker team, for many of our players this should be equivalent to a home match.
