the red devil series: i can make it through the rain


With sight of these sexy ladies in mind, no rain tomorrow morning will stop me from going to Busan World Cup Stadium to watch Korea's do or die match versus current group leader Switzerland (why did they ever beat Togo?)

I hope they show up again tomorrow and not wear them raincoats! Posted by Picasa

the red devil series: one


This morning's match versus Les Bleus France can be summed up with one word: one. Each team scored one goal each half of the game, the Korean warriors scoring in the 81st minute, upsetting France more specially its star player Zidane, who might have played his last World Cup game.

One more match for both teams are also awaiting them. Zidane, however, committed a booking, so he is not allowed to play in their match versus Togo, which is now playing versus Switzerland, Korea's final match opponent (for the first round of games) and hopefully not the last.

One more game to be seen in the wee fourth hour of the morning. Good thing Korea's next game will be played on a Saturday, I can watch it in a bigger venue than in my room, where I clapped alone while ironing my uniform. Hee. Posted by Picasa

the red devil series: Koje chapter


This is my teammate Allen during the first game last Tuesday. In crowded Meripji, my part leader and I were looking for him in front of the stage. We both were not able to identify him!

Everywhere in Korea, large screens are set up for the Korean matches.

In about seven hours from now, I will be in one such set up here in nearby Jangseungpo Meripji to catch the second half of their match versus soccer heavyweight France.

Hope Korea wins, even if I do not win the bets I placed today. Posted by Picasa

the red devil series: germany seems like korea


With the flood of Red Devils witnessing Korea's first World Cup victory outside Asia, I can't help but think that Koreans made Frankfurt like it is just Seoul. And with the sea of Red Devils in our island, I can't help but feel the passion and nationalism (though I am not Korean) of all Koreans while watching their first game last Tuesday in Maeripji (reclaimed land).

red devils!

Congratulations to Korea for winning its game versus Togo in the ongoing World Cup, to the Red Devils for succesfully supporting the team (Frankfurt, Germany felt like Seoul only!), and to me for watching my first full soccer game and winning two bets. Talk about first luck.

I hope first luck won't apply to the Korean team. I just can't wait to watch each of their match, anytime of the day! IT WAS ABSOLUTELY FUN! Posted by Picasa
