Jeonbuk Hyundai 3-1 Seongnam Ilhwa Chunma
The draw for the 2010 Asian Champions League was made today, throwing up some interesting match-ups, indeed. Defending champions Pohang Steelers and Suwon Samsung Bluewings were dealt relatively easy groups, with a Adelaide United and Gamba Osaka seemingly their biggest respective threats.

Pohang Steelers 0-1 Seongnam Ilhwa Chunma
I’ve just taken in the one-legged, sudden death semi-final playoff between the treble winning Pohang Steelers and the suprise packets of the second half of the season, Seongnam Ilhwa, and unsurprisingly, it was a bit of a cracker. If the players hadn’t been competing in driving rain which persisted for almost the entire ninety minutes, what was a 1-0 scoreline could easily have been 4-3 or 5-4. It was a truly tremendous display of bold, attacking football from both teams. Read the rest of this entry »

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 »

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 »
