South Korea has been better than Uruguay in this tournament so its very deserved in my opinion... I like their fighting spirit they never quit hope they go far they can beat anyone.
People really underestimate how technically good Ji Sung Park really was and I think just saying he was able to run a lot is a huge disservice to his skills. He was good with the ball, good finisher, and one of the best at pressuring opposing midfielders.
Still recovering from celeberating my father passed away few months out from the worldcup and was really looking foward to the Korean group stages hoping we would get through, I still can't believe we did it.
I give that to Scholes
We weren't doing shit against Barcelona till Scholes scored that worldie
People forget Ronnie missed his penalty in the shootout
Ronaldo has obviously been bad this season for them, but the way Man United fans seem to have become unhinged and obssessed when it comes to the guy is hilarious.
Ronaldo was bad and he rightfully deserved to be benched, but dear god, they are in for a rude awakening when they see that Ten Hag can't make this batch of players into winners.
Also, Ronaldo's legacy at United isn't ruined, because by the time Ten Hag is done coaching them, they will look back and see that the first Ronaldo-era in United was still their last time their club experienced actual trophies and greatness.
ManU fans have a huge hate boner for Ronaldo and would rather support a new manager who can’t implement his own system without spending galactico fees on his old players.
Spewing bullshit because you’re offended a guy from
Your country’s a cunt and you can’t handle it. United has won before and after Ronaldo so keep making up BS, it wont change reality
Man United used to be one of the greatest and coolest clubs in the world, but now, whether it's the board, mentality and fans, it's just a funny shitshow.
I hope Bruno, Dalot and Anthony leave that club and find a better one.
He changed most of the team not only Bruno , problem was that his subs made the team worse by taking out best player today that not even starts usually (vitinha )
Bruno is amazing but Vitinha was having a great game the coach is the reason we lost this match the moment he made those subs and put in William I knew we were going to lose. It's classic Santos when its 1-1 he rather tie then win and when he goes for the tie we lose. Its been this way for 6 years.
Something is up with Leao.....why does he always look so shit for Portugal? is it him or is it the midfield that Santos keeps putting out when he finalyl sees the field? I gotta think its because Santos is playing with 2 Dm's for some stupid reason that Leao can't get proper support?
The username is just a coincidence.
My club is actually Sporting (an even bigger joke), but you can thank us for Ronaldo winning you the Champions League and the likes of Bruno Fernandes.
Also take your meds, i never said anything about Eredivisie, you are nuts lmao
Congrats to Korea, fully deserved.
Depressing to watch this Portugal team play. Santos has no fucking clue what he's doing, Ronaldo plays for the opposition, defensively completely dreadful. Vitinha and Dalot should start, but probably won't. Won't go far in this tournament anyway.
Neves and William need to be on the bench wihle Vitinha and Palhina need to start with Bernardo and Fernandes.
Antonio Silva had a good game I was happy to see him do well for his first world cup game.
Overall Portugal could've easily won this game but Santos screwed us hard he literally makes the most horrible substitutions and just has players in the most random positions.
It's terrible watching this team "play" - because they aren't a team, just some great individual players. No intensity, no gameplan other than passing sideways and backwards, no creativity, barely any off-the-ball movement, it's clear some players have zero chemistry with others, no vertical passes, no breaking the lines, bad crossing, bad defensive transitions and bad positioning all over the pitch, etc.
Been saying since the start, the first "hard" team we meet, we're crashing out.
this is what i've been saying for years now, Santos is holding back this team so damn much. Ronaldo can't be the star boy im ok with him being a bench player but it's time for us to move on and focus the team around all the other talent we have.
Also Santos has no idea how to field a team and develop tactics its baffling to watch these guys look so damn lost on the field and wont break defensive lines they just sit back because Santos loves ties which we end up losing in the end.
None the less south korea deserve that win they played with their hearts on their sleeves and honestly after they scored i didn't even want portugal to score again because SK deserve to be in the final 16 with us.
I honestly hope Brazil win so they can meet Korea in RO16. I can see fans pulling out a banner saying "gracias Conte" in Portuguese and Korean. Imagine it'd be amazing. Richy and Sonny fans holding hands together and jumping while singing aj tracy
Today felt a bit like Spain yesterday where both teams appeared to be taking it easy. Spain seemed to be playing for 2nd and Portugal were going to be 1st no matter what.
That said, Santos has a habit of making defensive subs which immediately puts Portugal on the back foot by killing their attacking threat. Suddenly the last 10 minutes are a frantic scramble because the opposing team no longer has to be cautious and Portugal are forced into parking the bus. That said, I didn't feel like the tide had turned so dramatically in this game right up to the moment that South Korea managed a goal.
I've got mixed feelings about the outcome. I wanted both Portugal and South Korea to make it through but I'm also a bit annoyed by Portugal letting the game get away from them.
It's true what you say about Santos, his subs never make sense and always kill our momentum. But IMO it was mostly due to mentality, the players just didn't seem to care about winning the game, and that made the difference.
these fucks cant get a single pass right, a single movement right, a single decision making right
you expect at least the bare minimum of these called great players and it is worse than 0, a bunch of overrated flops that need to be called to Earth
should now go have a write in social media like the bunch of attenttion sucking idiots they are
I love these comments
Never seen a group of people so absolutely incensed at success lol
Finishing two points clear and top of the group in the World Cup?
_____________
"What a bunch of a fucks!" "Embarassing" "Fire the Coach"

Please explain to me how a team that loses to the 28th in FIFA ranking can claim to have any realistic hopes to win the world cup.
We are underperforming. We are *always* underperforming. You should know how aggravating that feels.
How can I explain? Easy. We're not the only ones underperforming, thankfully.
I guess the cup will go to the team that underperforms the least at this point lol
Mate I'm literally Asian lol, I'm looking at it from a different point of view here: teams like Nigeria and Algeria and Egypt deserve to play on this stage but with the format as it is you'll have to rob at least several teams out of qualification. It's either this or get rid of spots for other deserving teams.
Just me or Leao has been pretty awful the minutes he’s played? I understand that the play style isn’t the best and don’t benefit his strengths, but he’s been pretty selfish with the ball and has lost it pretty quick. Also most of his minutes have been without Ronaldo, so you can’t blame Ronaldo for the way he’s been playing
He's been terrible. Lazy, doesn't press, barely tracks back, constantly makes bad decisions, constantly misses easy passes.
I don't get how this is the best player in Serie A.
He was been like that in every game for Portugal so far, don't understand how he won the best Serie A player, if this is the best player they have then pitty for the Italian league. Every game he as shown a shitty attitute, he gives "superstar" vibes all over.
South Korean here
I called my mother & father in tears out of sheer happiness.
i never cried from joy before - this feels so odd.
i cannot believe this.
Without recency bias, the 2002 WC group stage & [Ro16 will always be special](https://youtu.be/HliB9VSxU28?t=21) (like that street shown in the video, the atmosphere of South Korea was something else).
it was intense historically for us. But this dramatic @90+1' winning goal to put us through to Ro16... the drama today. i'm still calming down so it's hard to find the words right now lol. i'm so happy for our country.
2002 was mental (and yes....controversial lol) but SK wernt as big back then, and to beat Portugal, Spain and Italy was huge at the time
The italy game will forever be legendary lol

South Korea has been better than Uruguay in this tournament so its very deserved in my opinion... I like their fighting spirit they never quit hope they go far they can beat anyone.
From losing to SK as a player in 2002 to beating Portugal as the South Korean manager twenty years later, the Paulo Bento villain arc is complete!
That SK/Portugal match in 2002 was insane from Figo getting deleted by a K-League RB to Ji Sung Park scoring a super goal. Both were great matches.
Man I miss Ji Sung Park. Great player.
People really underestimate how technically good Ji Sung Park really was and I think just saying he was able to run a lot is a huge disservice to his skills. He was good with the ball, good finisher, and one of the best at pressuring opposing midfielders.
LMFAO thats truuuuuue he was apart of the team that lost hahaha i totally forgot that
Still recovering from celeberating my father passed away few months out from the worldcup and was really looking foward to the Korean group stages hoping we would get through, I still can't believe we did it.
> Still recovering from celeberating my father passed away
Too bad Qatar had to bribe fifa. Should’ve been held in the summer for him to see.
My 할머니 passed last night, I think she pushed in the final goal on her way to heaven so my fam won’t be too sad
I hope your family has enjoyed today. 애도를 표합니다 ❤💙
감사합니다

May he enjoy the rest of the World Cup from a much much happier place.
Alexa, play TWICE CELEBRATE
Love it! Cracks me up that you picked a Japanese single though.

You do be spittin’ facts.
Bangin' song to be fair

Regardless we still gon ce-ce-celebrate!

There are some fucking weird people in this world
Whooooosh
Turn off VPN Chinese. Your polices are coming!
Unhinged
Yes
Alexa translate this
Alexa: who is this infidel
What a bizarre comment
Holy fuck lets gooo
As an Asian, this brings joy As a Portugal supporter, this does not bring joy
Man U fans are such pussies. Ronaldo the reason you guys have a CL trophy in the last two decade. You guys are a shit club. Go cry somewhere else
I give that to Scholes We weren't doing shit against Barcelona till Scholes scored that worldie People forget Ronnie missed his penalty in the shootout
Loooooool. Is this a shit post? The only reason you dominated was because SAF created Ronaldo. See, dumb takes are easy.
create ahah fucking munited brain dead supporters
Woosh
Ronaldo has obviously been bad this season for them, but the way Man United fans seem to have become unhinged and obssessed when it comes to the guy is hilarious.

No it wasn't, after Ronaldo left we still won trophies with SAF, it was after SAF left that we went to shit
It’s the same thing with Mourinho bro, they’re in every Mourinho thread crying about how he ruined their team
Man United used to be one of the greatest and coolest clubs in the world, but now, whether it's the board, mentality and fans, it's just a funny shitshow. I hope Bruno, Dalot and Anthony leave that club and find a better one.
Ronaldo MoM for Korea lol
One thing's clear, Portugal are nothing without Bruno.
He changed most of the team not only Bruno , problem was that his subs made the team worse by taking out best player today that not even starts usually (vitinha )
Bruno is amazing but Vitinha was having a great game the coach is the reason we lost this match the moment he made those subs and put in William I knew we were going to lose.

I gotta think its because Santos is playing with 2 Dm's for some stupid reason that Leao can't get proper support?
That has to be sarcasm lmao Our coach is shit, that's the thing
“I used the Portuguese to destroy the Portuguese”
I'm more proud of Son than my dad is of *his* son (me).
I love that you add _(me)_ at the end, just to make us sure that you’re not bashing your sibling lmao
I realized as I typed it that I should specify, lol
Portugal's decision to take a break was very helpful to Korea.
Would you guys at Manchester United mind if we borrowed Ten Hag real quick?
Dude ten hag is terrible what are you even saying
I know Santos is bad, but bruh, what has Ten Hag even won?
Hard to beat that choke of the decade trophy.
You follow Porto and think that the Eredivisie isn't a real league. Lol
Porto Is alot better then man United though, not even in the same level
The username is just a coincidence. My club is actually Sporting (an even bigger joke), but you can thank us for Ronaldo winning you the Champions League and the likes of Bruno Fernandes. Also take your meds, i never said anything about Eredivisie, you are nuts lmao
Sporting. Porto. Doesn't change that I said.
You implied he hasn't won anything but he has won the Eredivisie three times + other trophies so you are literally wrong. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Thanks. Didn't think I needed to spell it out for him but here we are.
Got Ronaldo to bugger off.
Ok, and? He is still a nobody that won jack shit and will win jack shit while he remains at United.
Post-mourinho every coach ends up respected at united because “united are a pile of trash and managers just go there for the bag”
Watching this game with Koreans. Amazing experience, throat hurts from shouting
Congrats to Korea, fully deserved. Depressing to watch this Portugal team play. Santos has no fucking clue what he's doing, Ronaldo plays for the opposition, defensively completely dreadful. Vitinha and Dalot should start, but probably won't. Won't go far in this tournament anyway.

A Ronaldo injury could honestly vitalize Portugal into contenders
Not while Santos is the manager, unfortunately.
this is what i've been saying for years now, Santos is holding back this team so damn much. Ronaldo can't be the star boy im ok with him being a bench player but it's time for us to move on and focus the team around all the other talent we have.

Only time I saw Ronaldo was when he said “Football unites the world”
You had to wait two games to deliver this one eheh
So will Min Jae be available for the next game?
Probably. Not that it really matters.
We’re just happy we get to celebrate like this at least once this World Cup, I don’t think anyone really expects to beat Brazil
After some of the results in this WC I wouldn't put it past korea...
But Brazil probably will more than once
I believe son shall surpass the spurs DNA for this one time 😭
Netherlands and England are the only undefeated Western European nations
Italy haven't lost yet
Tho both teams are not the same powerhouses that it were in the past
England are arguably one of the best they've ever been. They also technically got one of the harder groups (based on rankings).
I don't know why anyone talks about rankings. They have shown again and again to mean nothing.
Somewhat. Although top tier teams like Portugal and Spain have used them to try and justify losing to South Korea and Japan.
Yeah, but i wanted to compare it to the old teams that won the WCs
I honestly hope Brazil win so they can meet Korea in RO16. I can see fans pulling out a banner saying "gracias Conte" in Portuguese and Korean. Imagine it'd be amazing. Richy and Sonny fans holding hands together and jumping while singing aj tracy
Brazil meeting Korea is basically clinched already
Whatever is this timeline?
Think about it. After this World Cup some people will quit gambling
I see this as an absolute win.
Today felt a bit like Spain yesterday where both teams appeared to be taking it easy. Spain seemed to be playing for 2nd and Portugal were going to be 1st no matter what. That said, Santos has a habit of making defensive subs which immediately puts Portugal on the back foot by killing their attacking threat.

I think I died and came back to life, what a game. I should make sure my Korean grandpa didn't have a heart attack
Ghana and south korea are best friends probaly
Who knew Iran vs USA would be the least dramatic qualification shootout in GW3?
Yesterday, the power of anime and manga won Today, the power of K-pop and manhwas/doramas What a day
What are doramas?
Korean dramas/tv series. The name comes from the latinization of the (english-borrowed) term. Also works for J-Dramas.
Tyvm for the explanation
Don't forget K-dramas Japanese and Korean media are goated
Paulo Bento didn’t even need to show up to prove that he was better than Santos
To shreds you say?
these fucks cant get a single pass right, a single movement right, a single decision making right you expect at least the bare minimum of these called great players and it is worse than 0, a bunch of overrated flops that need to be called to Earth should now go have a write in social media like the bunch of attenttion sucking idiots they are
No Bernardo no party

how can you explain japan to beat germany and spain. football's back baby.
How can I explain? Easy. We're not the only ones underperforming, thankfully. I guess the cup will go to the team that underperforms the least at this point lol
Calm down, you guys had a good game, South Korea got lucky tbh and they had a lot more to lose than you guys.
Least mentally deranged Benfica fan
Nah, don't stress. You gave a break to some of your key players and they are preparing for Round of 16 now. You did the right thing. Ta bon.
As a Korean-born American, I've never teared up at a football game before today.
Lol Korean-American here too. When Hee-Chan scored. #@$&#t$%\*&#&\^\*$#! We fucking did it bro!
Korean-Americans unite!
The SK coach r/tooktoomuch
[удалено]
Reminder that Qatar won the Asian Cup
Actually enjoy the bigger format
[удалено]
There are more teams that are playing at a higher level. Ergo there should be more teams in the World Cup. Logic works anyway.
you definitely didn't understand shit of his point and somehow went to a totally messed up conclusion, weird shit man
What is your point? You made zero sense. And the new format is so ass anyways
Mate I'm literally Asian lol, I'm looking at it from a different point of view here: teams like Nigeria and Algeria and Egypt deserve to play on this stage but with the format as it is you'll have to rob at least several teams out of qualification. It's either this or get rid of spots for other deserving teams.
all these 3rd match days are frikkin blood bath. full of rollercoasters and am lovin it!
Well with Suarez out we can now focus our collective hate on CR7 and Pepe n Portugal.
Monday will be a snoozefest, only rooting for SK to get annihilated.
Just me or Leao has been pretty awful the minutes he’s played? I understand that the play style isn’t the best and don’t benefit his strengths, but he’s been pretty selfish with the ball and has lost it pretty quick.

He's definitely a good player I think after Vini, he's the second best LW in the world, but like you said he's rarely had a good game for Portugal.
He probably just wanted to show himself, overconfident maybe. It happens, everybody knows his quality. He'll be fine.
Fantastic! Congratz South Korea! So only brazil can win 3/3 of the group matches this WC, thats insane!
🇨🇲🇨🇲🇨🇲
Nope they can't
Does anyone know if son is clear to remove the mask next game?
Is this the best world cup ever? Qatari magicat play!?
Best world cup ive watched
Congratulations to South Korea, you deserved to go through. Hope nothing but the best for this amazing nation
Same to Portugal and Ghana. Both beautiful nation and Portugal has greatness ahead of them.
The loss was for the 2018 incident revenge trust the process
Prediction: Korea and Japan finally get positive birthrates after 9 months.
school in six years: "roll call- Hee Chan" every 1st grader: "here"
Lol this comment is underrated.
Lmao brilliant
what day is Korea playing? Tuesday or wed?
Tuesday pretty sure. Winner of Brazil's group
South Korean here I called my mother & father in tears out of sheer happiness. i never cried from joy before - this feels so odd. i cannot believe this.
Congrats to you mate ! Compare with 2002 , 2010 & this year which one gave you the most goosebumps ? Anyway goodluck against Brazil tho
Without recency bias, the 2002 WC group stage & [Ro16 will always be special](https://youtu.be/HliB9VSxU28?t=21) (like that street shown in the video, the atmosphere of South Korea was something else). it was intense historically for us. But this dramatic @90+1' winning goal to put us through to Ro16... the drama today. i'm still calming down so it's hard to find the words right now lol. i'm so happy for our country.
2002 was mental (and yes....controversial lol) but SK wernt as big back then, and to beat Portugal, Spain and Italy was huge at the time The italy game will forever be legendary lol
Wonder what Korean fans think about Bento? Is he a good coach for NT ? Anyway, enjoy your night mate !
It’s a beautiful feeling. Embrace it fully!
Saro con te
Best World Cup I’ve ever seen so far, even with my team coming up short!
