Asian Cup

those korean jerseys are wild

Jordan up 2-0.

 

[HajdukSplit]

Korea gifted those goals with the turnovers, but in fairness the 2nd Jordanian goal was a nice solo run and finish. Korea have been poor but they have a knack this tournament of finding a way but its probably too late now with a two goal deficit

Going down every game finally caught up to this SK team.

Got to hand it to Jordan though, they have been on a great run.

 

[Power Man]

« SK will beat Jordan »
Jordan : « and I took that personally »

What do people think about this? Are we already reading into it too much?

Son about to shave his head on social media to apologize for the loss.

What a player though. Can't help but root for him. Hope he gets it next time.

I always found it odd when someone not from a country coaches a different country, like Klinsmann and SK. The players are playing with pride for their country while to the foreign coach, it's just a job till the next one. Had he been coaching Germany and they bowed out I'm sure his body language would be more like Son's, the disappointment of feeling like you failed your country.

Afif with a massive opportunity to make it 2-1 and misses both the shot and followup.

 

[robertmac43]

Wow, what a strike from Afif. Qatar in the lead and they deserve it.

 

[robertmac43]

Qatar go up 3-2. One of the best games of the year so far.

 

[robertmac43]

Iran just hit the the post in the 90th+ 10 and then got robbed on the line in the 90th+15

 

[robertmac43]

Afif make it 1-0 from the penalty spot and then gets stretchered off with an apparent leg injury right before the half. So far this has been a fairly even game, both teams with chances.

I know the tournament is over but I found this worth sharing:

Edit: Lee Kang-in has posted some sort of apology for his involvement on Instagram.

"Good afternoon. This is Lee Kang In. There is an article about me having a dispute with Son Heung Min before the semi-final of the Asian Cup," he wrote. "I am very sorry to disappoint football fans who are always supporting the South Korea international team.

"I am so sorry. I should have been in the forefront and obeyed my senior brothers, but I'm sorry that I'm showing a bad side to football fans. I apologize to many of you who are disappointed in me. I am well aware of the interest and expectations football fans have of me. From now on, I will try to help my older brothers, in order to become a better player and a better person."
