The battle for third place in K-League, or as it’s now known, the Sonata Championship, for 2009, is over. It was a good’un, too. One of those old school heavyweight boxing battle royals where the protagonists go punch for punch for fifteen rounds, neither giving an inch. The last team standing, face bloodied and struggling to stay on their feet? Read the rest of this entry »

The top three all won again on the weekend. Hence, whilst they are not mathematically assured of being there, I’m prepared to say that, with five rounds remaining, they home and hosed as far as a play-off birth is concerned. To put it simply, they are playing a brand of football far and away superior to the rest of the competition. Read the rest of this entry »

Not a lot of time this week, so I’m borrowing an idea from another football blog I regularly read to sum up the happenings in Round 24 of the K-League. Read the rest of this entry »

This is my first post in a month, and to my legion of fans out there (both of you), please accept my most humblest of apologies. I’m back now, though, rested, re-invigorated and raring to go as the K-League heads towards the play-offs. Read the rest of this entry »

At times, the game of football can be a cruel, unfair and to quote Bart Simpson (who I’m pretty sure was quoting someone else at the time), simply “an evil bitch-goddess.” Read the rest of this entry »

Senol Gunes knew. He knew that even though his side may have been unlucky to lose just over a week ago to the second best team in the world, they had just been comprehensively beaten by the eleventh best team in Korea. Read the rest of this entry »

Seventy-three minutes. It took seventy-three minutes for the 64,000 strong crowd at the Seoul World Cup Stadium to get what they came for. This may sound absurd considering the fixture – FC Seoul vs Manchester United. And the scoreline – it was 3-2 to the visitors by this point. The match had been an absolute belter. More worthy of a place at the Club World Cup than on a preseason schedule. Read the rest of this entry »

I watched Pohang Steelers knock off reigning champions Suwon Samsung 3-2 in round 1. I wasn’t at the Big Bird Stadium in Suwon. I wasn’t at a sports bar watching it on a big screen plasma. I wasn’t even at home watching it on MBCESPN. No, I was at my local corner store. I wandered up to the checkout just in time to see Pohang’s Brazilian striker, Denilson – no, not the one who Real Betis paid a world record fee for, the one who now can’t get a game in the A-League and couldn’t even cut it in the Vietnamese League – put them 3-1 up with five minutes to go.

Fifteen rounds ago FC Seoul opened their 2009 K-League campaign with a demolition job in Chunnam. The six goals they scored that day are still the most scored by any team in a single match and the 6-1 score line is, along with Jeonbuk Hyundai’s 5-0 smashing of Jeju United, the season’s biggest away win.
