Zamundinho:
Welcome to The Goal Post's liveblog of South Korea v Greece
Saturday June 12, 2010 07:24 Zamundinho
07:27
Zamundinho:
Ok, so here we are, it's early.
Saturday June 12, 2010 07:27 Zamundinho
07:28
Tommy:
Be the Reds versus the Profligate Olympians
Saturday June 12, 2010 07:28 Tommy
07:29
Zamundinho:
Greece presents the expected unpronouncable side, led by Karagounis
Saturday June 12, 2010 07:29 Zamundinho
07:30
Zamundinho:
The stadium is not at all full, which is not terribly surprising given the attacking potential of these sides
Saturday June 12, 2010 07:30 Zamundinho
07:30
Zamundinho:
and we're off
Saturday June 12, 2010 07:30 Zamundinho
07:31
Zamundinho:
y'all excuse me while I get my coffee together... I doubt anything's going to happen too soon in this game
Saturday June 12, 2010 07:31 Zamundinho
07:32
Zamundinho:
and I take it back, Gekas just gest an opportunity for Greece, almost... Karagounis crosses into the box but it's headed out by Korea for a corner
Saturday June 12, 2010 07:32 Zamundinho
07:32
Zamundinho:
off the corner:
Saturday June 12, 2010 07:32 Zamundinho
07:32
Tommy:
a particularly poorly defended corner there
Saturday June 12, 2010 07:32 Tommy
07:33
Zamundinho:
the ball is curved in low to the middle of the box, and Torosidis struck it well, but wide
Saturday June 12, 2010 07:33 Zamundinho
07:33
Zamundinho:
indeed
Saturday June 12, 2010 07:33 Zamundinho
07:33
Tommy:
This game is interesting because Greece's offense is not high-octane, but South Korea's defense really only has one or two world-class players
Saturday June 12, 2010 07:33 Tommy
07:34
Tommy:
Whereas their offense is much more skilled
Saturday June 12, 2010 07:34 Tommy
07:35
Darkseid:
Yeah the South Koreans really eat the dog on defense
Saturday June 12, 2010 07:35 Darkseid
07:36
Zamundinho:
GOOOOAAAALLLLLLL!!!!!!!
Saturday June 12, 2010 07:36 Zamundinho
07:36
Darkseid:
GGGGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
Saturday June 12, 2010 07:36 Darkseid
07:36
Zamundinho:
South Korea opens it up within 7 minutes
Saturday June 12, 2010 07:36 Zamundinho
07:37
Tommy:
Speaking of poorly defended corners, the defending Euro champions fall behind early 1-0 on a clean finish by Soo
Saturday June 12, 2010 07:37 Tommy
07:37
Darkseid:
horrible missed headers by Greece leading to the goal
Saturday June 12, 2010 07:37 Darkseid
07:37
Zamundinho:
a beautiful strike off the free kick... the ball curved in over the first defenders, placed perfectly for Soo's boot and into the back of the net
Saturday June 12, 2010 07:37 Zamundinho
07:38
Zamundinho:
And yes, 3 Greek defenders narrowly missed that cross
Saturday June 12, 2010 07:38 Zamundinho
07:38
Darkseid:
the player got his abnormally large head struck in the clearance
Saturday June 12, 2010 07:38 Darkseid
07:40
Tommy:
It looks as though Korea's set pieces are especially dangerous
Saturday June 12, 2010 07:40 Tommy
07:40
Zamundinho:
it does... although I have also yet to see much movement from Greece's keeper, so it could be saying more Greece than S. Korea
Saturday June 12, 2010 07:40 Zamundinho
07:41
Darkseid:
The Koreas all look like Asian Michael Cera's
Saturday June 12, 2010 07:41 Darkseid
07:43
Darkseid:
Throwin from the shaolin monk
Saturday June 12, 2010 07:43 Darkseid
07:43
Darkseid:
leading to a long cross that is place in front of the goal but not shot
Saturday June 12, 2010 07:43 Darkseid
07:43
Zamundinho:
And that was another close chance for South Korea.... Greece is not looking solid on defense
Saturday June 12, 2010 07:43 Zamundinho
07:44
Darkseid:
WOOOOOWW!!!!
Saturday June 12, 2010 07:44 Darkseid
07:45
Darkseid:
Korea looks like an offensive powerhouse, a forward just used some crafty moves flipping the ball over the defenders head and shanking a shot on goal collected by the keeper
Saturday June 12, 2010 07:45 Darkseid
07:45
Zamundinho:
And Korea get's bowled over in the box by an aggressive challenge in the back... the referee saw no problem
Saturday June 12, 2010 07:45 Zamundinho
07:46
Tommy:
I have to say that so far the offsides officiating in this World Cup has been excellent
Saturday June 12, 2010 07:46 Tommy
07:47
Zamundinho:
Agreed Tommy, so far there has been nothing to talk about re: officiating. I pray that that doesn't change, but Italy has yet to play....
Saturday June 12, 2010 07:47 Zamundinho
07:47
Zamundinho:
This is certainly not the South Korea we saw eight years ago in South Korea. They have some attack
Saturday June 12, 2010 07:47 Zamundinho
07:47
Tommy:
Two 21 year old attacking threats will do that
Saturday June 12, 2010 07:47 Tommy
07:48
Zamundinho:
Greece, sending the ball into the box from the midfield with a wildly lucky deep pass
Saturday June 12, 2010 07:48 Zamundinho
07:49
Darkseid:
It should be SK 2 Gr 0 with that no penalty kick call
Saturday June 12, 2010 07:49 Darkseid
07:49
Zamundinho:
and they bring it down onsides, and do nothing... this is the Greece we grew not to love in Euro 2004: Lobbing long balls and praying for luck.
Saturday June 12, 2010 07:49 Zamundinho
07:50
Darkseid:
which is not a bad strategy against South Korea since they have the strength, on defense, of Cameron Diaz
Saturday June 12, 2010 07:50 Darkseid
07:51
Zamundinho:
I like that analogy
Saturday June 12, 2010 07:51 Zamundinho
07:51
Zamundinho:
Corner for Greece
Saturday June 12, 2010 07:51 Zamundinho
07:52
Zamundinho:
A well directed cross, but deflected out of the box by Korea
Saturday June 12, 2010 07:52 Zamundinho
07:52
Zamundinho:
now korea on the counter
Saturday June 12, 2010 07:52 Zamundinho
07:52
Zamundinho:
easily controlled at the middle of the box, but that was an embarrassingly off-target shot by S Korea
Saturday June 12, 2010 07:52 Zamundinho
07:53
Darkseid:
He brought the Kim Chi with that spicy counterattack
Saturday June 12, 2010 07:53 Darkseid
07:53
Tommy:
worth noting that the shooter there, Chung-yong plays during the season for Bolton Wanderers
Saturday June 12, 2010 07:53 Tommy
07:53
Zamundinho:
Thanks for that, that is actually quite illuminating
Saturday June 12, 2010 07:53 Zamundinho
07:53
Zamundinho:
hahahaha
Saturday June 12, 2010 07:53 Zamundinho
07:54
Zamundinho:
South Korea's defense just accidentally averted a threat with a backheel, which also managed to send a Greek striker falling on his head and calling for a penalty
Saturday June 12, 2010 07:54 Zamundinho
07:54
Zamundinho:
just one massively uncoordinated sequence of events
Saturday June 12, 2010 07:54 Zamundinho
07:54
Darkseid:
Everyone on South Korea has well laundered jerseys
Saturday June 12, 2010 07:54 Darkseid
07:54
Darkseid:
BAD CALL!!!
Saturday June 12, 2010 07:54 Darkseid
07:55
Zamundinho:
And Korea's captain, Park Jisung, get's called for dropping a defender on his way into the box
Saturday June 12, 2010 07:55 Zamundinho
07:55
Zamundinho:
no idea what that call was
Saturday June 12, 2010 07:55 Zamundinho
07:55
Darkseid:
South Korea is getting a number of bad calls against them
Saturday June 12, 2010 07:55 Darkseid
07:55
Zamundinho:
The Greeks have one strategy for success
Saturday June 12, 2010 07:55 Zamundinho
07:56
Zamundinho:
to keep teh ball away from S. korea, and occupy time with passes in their own backfield, then try to score in stoppage time... it's how they did it in 2004
Saturday June 12, 2010 07:56 Zamundinho
07:56
Darkseid:
that sounds like at least three strategies
Saturday June 12, 2010 07:56 Darkseid
07:56
Zamundinho:
No, they all feed into eachother
Saturday June 12, 2010 07:56 Zamundinho
07:57
Darkseid:
Like the ingredients of a Gyro
Saturday June 12, 2010 07:57 Darkseid
07:57
Zamundinho:
the only way Greece can keep possession, is to pass around their backfield and not try to advance
Saturday June 12, 2010 07:57 Zamundinho
07:57
Zamundinho:
Korea alone 1`-1
Saturday June 12, 2010 07:57 Zamundinho
07:57
Zamundinho:
only the keeper to beat!!!
Saturday June 12, 2010 07:57 Zamundinho
07:57
Tommy:
Good lord, amazing missed opportunity
Saturday June 12, 2010 07:57 Tommy
07:57
Darkseid:
Korea is dangerous
Saturday June 12, 2010 07:57 Darkseid
07:57
Zamundinho:
and it's deflected over the crossbar
Saturday June 12, 2010 07:57 Zamundinho
07:57
Zamundinho:
that looked very dangerous for Greece
Saturday June 12, 2010 07:57 Zamundinho
07:58
Tommy:
Right idea going near post on the one-on-one but the keeper just did deflect it
Saturday June 12, 2010 07:58 Tommy
07:58
Zamundinho:
S Korea's corner cleared easily
Saturday June 12, 2010 07:58 Zamundinho
08:00
Darkseid:
South Korea only has one strategy in this game: try to move the ball efficiently, play smart not physical, intimidate the other team's defense, play collective defense, work of their keeper's strong play, get foul calls, penetrate along the sidelines and send endless offensive attacks.
Saturday June 12, 2010 08:00 Darkseid
08:01
Darkseid:
they really need a second strategy though
Saturday June 12, 2010 08:01 Darkseid
08:01
Zamundinho:
Ok, now you're just being ridiculous
Saturday June 12, 2010 08:01 Zamundinho
08:02
Zamundinho:
Greece is taking my advice, wasting time passing between their defenders... either they are trying to tire the S Korean strikers, or they are playing some woefully-poorly scheduled game of "paddy-cake"
Saturday June 12, 2010 08:02 Zamundinho
08:03
Darkseid:
The South Koreans would have a hard time beating the Kardashians in tug of war
Saturday June 12, 2010 08:03 Darkseid
08:04
Zamundinho:
It is true that Greece is by far the more physical side, but being strong doesn't help you much if you live in a desert of talent
Saturday June 12, 2010 08:04 Zamundinho
08:05
Darkseid:
Tell that to Arnold Schwarzenneger
Saturday June 12, 2010 08:05 Darkseid
08:06
KO:
I wake up this morning to a S. Korean lead
Saturday June 12, 2010 08:06 KO
08:06
KO:
it must be Korean Christmas
Saturday June 12, 2010 08:06 KO
08:06
Zamundinho:
It looks like a Soweto school trip has been organized to this game (the tickets were probably easy to come by), and when the camera panned over them they were dancing... clearly that's more entertaining than watching the game
Saturday June 12, 2010 08:06 Zamundinho
08:06
Darkseid:
or should I say the Governah
Saturday June 12, 2010 08:06 Darkseid
08:07

Why the fuck do they have school on Saturday
Saturday June 12, 2010 08:07 Darkseid

Saturday June 12, 2010 08:07 KO
08:07
Darkseid:
no
Saturday June 12, 2010 08:07 Darkseid
08:08
Darkseid:
Just cause they are playing the Koreans doesnt mean they have to go to school as many days as them
Saturday June 12, 2010 08:08 Darkseid
08:08
Zamundinho:
korea on an exciting attack
Saturday June 12, 2010 08:08 Zamundinho
08:08
KO:
we are the benchmark
Saturday June 12, 2010 08:08 KO
08:08
Zamundinho:

Saturday June 12, 2010 08:08 Zamundinho
08:08
Darkseid:
brilliant drive executed by a Shaolin Monk
Saturday June 12, 2010 08:08 Darkseid
08:08
Zamundinho:
but it crashes, this time uselessly, against the rocky Greek defensive-line
Saturday June 12, 2010 08:08 Zamundinho
08:10
Darkseid:
This game reminds me of a great Wire Quote
Saturday June 12, 2010 08:10 Darkseid
08:10
Darkseid:
"Don't knock Greece they invented Civilization, man"
Saturday June 12, 2010 08:10 Darkseid

Saturday June 12, 2010 08:10 KO
08:11
Zamundinho:
and korea again on the attack...
Saturday June 12, 2010 08:11 Zamundinho
08:11
KO:
they need a socratic seminar at halftime to figure out what's going wrong
Saturday June 12, 2010 08:11 KO
08:11
Zamundinho:
such fluidity, at least 2 of the 4 attackers open at all times for a pass
Saturday June 12, 2010 08:11 Zamundinho
08:11
Zamundinho:
and this one gets shot from outside the box, just a touch too high
Saturday June 12, 2010 08:11 Zamundinho
08:12
Zamundinho:
Korea looks quite comfortable on the counter-attack, it looks like they could easily score another 2 goals in the 2nd half as they settle down that outside shot
Saturday June 12, 2010 08:12 Zamundinho
08:12
Darkseid:
Korea is gonna drop on in in the 44:32 minute
Saturday June 12, 2010 08:12 Darkseid
08:13
Zamundinho:
Greece trying to find space to make a play in Korea's box
Saturday June 12, 2010 08:13 Zamundinho
08:13
Darkseid:
The Greeks play a unique brand of ball called high school soccer
Saturday June 12, 2010 08:13 Darkseid
08:13
Zamundinho:
but the koreans slowly gather round, and The greeks fall over and lose the ball
Saturday June 12, 2010 08:13 Zamundinho
08:14
Zamundinho:
But Greece responds with a deep cross right at the keeper...
Saturday June 12, 2010 08:14 Zamundinho
08:14
Zamundinho:
who narrowly catches the ball away from a greek header
Saturday June 12, 2010 08:14 Zamundinho
08:15
KO:
athletic korean goalie
Saturday June 12, 2010 08:15 KO
08:15
Zamundinho:
And greece again crosses into the box, but it goes striaght to the keeper
Saturday June 12, 2010 08:15 Zamundinho
08:15
Zamundinho:
and that's it
Saturday June 12, 2010 08:15 Zamundinho
08:15
Zamundinho:
no stoppage time
Saturday June 12, 2010 08:15 Zamundinho
08:16
Darkseid:
which is surprising considering how many Koreans dropped to the ground in pain and agony
Saturday June 12, 2010 08:16 Darkseid
08:16
Zamundinho:
Greece seems to have no other tricks in their bag... they'll keep plugging away at these long diagonal balls that can't decide if they're crosses or shots... maybe they'll get lucky
Saturday June 12, 2010 08:16 Zamundinho
08:16
Darkseid:
they need another trick, like a trojan horse
Saturday June 12, 2010 08:16 Darkseid
08:17
Darkseid:
or a great economic revival
Saturday June 12, 2010 08:17 Darkseid

Yeah, you'd have to figure they could figure that shit out

Saturday June 12, 2010 08:17 KO

well, not the economics... they have the world's wealth of mythology to draw from for halftime lessons and answers
Saturday June 12, 2010 08:17 Zamundinho
08:19
KO:
hyundai sponsored the halftime show. affirmation that korea owns this game
Saturday June 12, 2010 08:19 KO
08:23

Korea clearly won't make it far as they have the physicality of a quadriplegic on Zoloft, but they are fun to watch

Saturday June 12, 2010 08:26 KO
08:27
Zamundinho:
ESPN's gamecast (which we tend to ignore) just posted this unsurprising fact:
"Oh and, by the way, 11 of South Korea?s 23 World Cup goals have come from set pieces."
Yeah, no surprise there... the Korean's are particularly dangerous from the set piece.
Saturday June 12, 2010 08:27 Zamundinho
08:29
KO:
it's the creativity and open play that are the deficits
Saturday June 12, 2010 08:29 KO

And we're back with the 2nd half
Saturday June 12, 2010 08:31 Zamundinho

Saturday June 12, 2010 08:33 KO

Zamundinho:
The EPSN telecast just reiterated the predominance of empty seats in the stadium
Saturday June 12, 2010 08:34 Zamundinho

what was the stadium attendance like for the previous matches
Saturday June 12, 2010 08:34 KO
08:34
Zamundinho:
those facts speak for themselves... but I can say that watching South Korea is proving to be rewarding... set pieces are exciting plays to watch when they so often lead to goals
Saturday June 12, 2010 08:34 Zamundinho
08:35
Zamundinho:
hahaha
Saturday June 12, 2010 08:35 Zamundinho

South Korea is ranked 47th in the world by FIFA, as opposed to Greece's 13... that difference is certainly not on dislpay here

Darkseid is referring to a poorly placed bet I may or may not have made against South Korea in this game

South Korea has the body strength of a Pinto
Saturday June 12, 2010 08:40 Darkseid

that could be it, or i could be referring to the car that exploded when you tapped its body
Saturday June 12, 2010 08:41 Darkseid
08:41
Zamundinho:
and Korea is again displaying some excellent theatrics
Saturday June 12, 2010 08:41 Zamundinho

Saturday June 12, 2010 08:42 Zamundinho

The Koreans are particularly good at going face-first into the turf, making no effort to break their falls... great execution
Saturday June 12, 2010 08:42 Zamundinho

Darkseid:
The only thing Greece is good at right now is throwing big weddings
Saturday June 12, 2010 08:42 Darkseid

you'd think that Greece could draw on their great and tragic dramatic tradition to come with a few more free kicks

this makes it really interesting to see how Nigeria's form will be later today
Saturday June 12, 2010 08:44 Darkseid
08:44
Zamundinho:
and almost a beatiful setup for Korea at the top of the box... at this point they are looking so unhurried in their attack, that they're almost lackadaisical... Greece still looks frantic and uncoordinated in defense
Saturday June 12, 2010 08:44 Zamundinho

Greece have never scored a goal at the World Cup... they have now conceded 12 goals at the World Cup.... for the benefit of their statistics, they should probably just withdraw after this match, and come back with an offense
