우리는 지금의 대한민국이 있기까지 얼마나 많은 노력과 희생이 필요했는지 알고 있습니다. 슬픈 역사속에 스포츠가 한국인들에게 많은 힘이 되었다는 것도 중요하게 생각합니다. 멀리서나마 형제의 나라에서 함께 외치겠습니다. 대한민국의 광복절을 경축합니다. #대한독립만세 🇰🇷

RE: Lee Kangin and Son Heung-Min
1. Fights HAPPEN. In a tension-packed tournament setting, more so.
2. The Sun got the leak. The KFA jumped to confirm it. This is CLEARLY desperation from Chung. Let’s not give in to what they want. Keep the focus. Klinsmann out, Chung out.

The fact that Sonny is loved by every single manager he’s played under is simply incredible. World class player and an amazing person.
⚪️🇰🇷 Ange Postecoglou: "Whatever game it is, Son has this really high level of expectation on himself to be the best he can be all the time".
"It's very hard to be like that. He wants to maintain the highest possible standards whenever he plays".

Point 1 is exactly what the KFA are trying to sell and we would be foolish to believe them. Sure, the fight may have played a minor role. But that terrible performance was 99.9% Klinsmann having zero tactics and ideas.
The skirmish between Sonny & Lee Kang In explains a lot.
1.) No wonder the team seemed SO OUT OF SORTS against Jordan. We were out of sync, passive, discombobulated. There was barely any unity on the pitch and we let an aggressive Jordan team manhandle us. It was more than

You cannot convince anyone for a second that Klinsmann respects Korean football and our fans.
Jurgen Klinsmann initially planned on flying directly to the USA from Qatar after the Asian Cup. Only after the KFA begged Klinsmann did he fly to Korea with the rest of the team. He then proceeded to stay one night, and flew out to his home in California.

Korean football fans’ perception of Neymar and the rest of the Brazilian national team has become overwhelmingly positive after this friendly match. A big contrast to a certain 🇵🇹 superstar when he visited Korea with Juventus.
Neymar making sure the Korean child mascot had his left hand instead of his right on his chest during the national anthem has to be one of the cutest interactions I’ve seen in a while.

Fun fact: Sebastian Hoeneß, the manager of Jeong Woo-Yeong at Stuttgart, was recommended to the KFA before they hired Klinsmann. His Stuttgart side are third in the Bundesliga, just one point behind Bayern Munich.
The worst part? He was interested in managing the KNT 🥲

Just a couple of months ago, the Korean government tossed Lee Sun-Kyun to the wolves in order to create chaos and divert attention elsewhere.
We’re seeing it happen again, this time by Chung Mong-Gyu and the KFA. Seriously. How many more victims? In how many different settings?

A best all-time XI from Korea so far from the FS collective.

We’ve been saying this for awhile. The 4-4-2 is outdated (like Klinsmann) and Cho Gue-Sung is NOT justifying his spot in the starting eleven. Move Sonny up top and bring on another midfielder to control the game.
HT Jordan 2-1 Korea. Korea need a third man in central midfield sooner rather than later to support Park Yong-woo and Hwang In-beom. Passing is lacking consistency and they’re being overrun defensively. Some individual errors have been frustrating, but this is a systematic flaw.

3. This is yet another example at how incompetent Klinsmann is. This did not happen ONCE under Bento. It’s already happened twice under Klinsmann (remember the Sonny-Kim Min-Jae saga). Why? No one respects the manager. There’s no leadership or structure in our KNT.

This football federation needs a very harsh wake up call. Football is for the fans.
At this point in time, it is unclear whether KFA president Chung Mong-Gyu is willing to admit his mistake and fire Klinsmann.
He is floating numerous “ideas” to keep the German manager, including changing the entire coaching staff while keeping Klinsmann in place as head coach.

Does he really think the public doesn't know who pushed for the hiring of Klinsmann?
1. KFA president Chung Mong-gyu didn't resign from his place.
2. He insisted there was 'misunderstanding' about him, and it was not himself who brought Klinsmann himself, but it was done under fair process.

Respectfully, this is super dangerous. He’s not even the best prospect in the K League, yet we’re hyping him up like Lamine Yamal.
Every young player doesn’t have to be Son, Kangin, or Yang Min-Hyeok. That’s completely normal. This type of over exaggerated hype helps no one.
@iMiaSanMia
Many of you are saying he's Son regen. As someone who covers Korean football, I don't say this lightly- but if there's anyone who has the potential to be the next Sonny it's him. From his physique, down to his skils- he just needs to be proven in opportunity and goals. Will
