I love those matchs really, just because of the iranian trolls.
I'd love to see them burst in here trying to sell us bull crap (team was told to not play in second period etc..).

Iranians, i love you.

Good to see Kim Du-hyeon back. He adds quite a bit of depth to the team with his set-piece deliveries and threat from long-range. I like what Cho Kwang-rae is doing -- galvanizing players who are under-performing like Ki Sung-yong -- by introducing more competition. Looking at the player selection, it's not hard to tell that almost any midfield selection that is put out will look to retain possession.

I'd like to see how Kim Ju-Young fares on his debut. He supposedly runs a 100m in the 11 second range and Cho Kwang-rae has said that he's yet to witness another defender as quick as Kim in the K-League. Only 22 as well.

A little disappointed that Ji Dong-won and Yoo Byung-soo have been omitted. The latter is tied for goal-scoring lead with Eninho and he is a pure scorer (0 assists this season) and a physical monster -- I would have figured that Yoo Byung-soo be chosen before Suk Hyun-jun if the manager opted for a more physical dimension to the team. It's well known that Yoo Byung-soo can be a bit of a hothead and instigator on the field but that really shouldn't take away from the quality that he's been showing this season -- building well on his good rookie year. Perhaps now that Huh Jung-moo is at Incheon, Yoo Byung-soo may stand to benefit.

Expected starting line-up:

Jung Sung-ryong; Lee Jung-soo, Cho Yong-hyung, Kim Young-kwon; Cha Du-ri, Yoon Bit-garam, Ki Sung-yueng, Lee Young-pyo; Lee Chung-yong, Park Ji-sung; Park Chu-young

Interesting tactic in pushing Lee Young-pyo higher up the pitch as part of the three man midfield -- one that I think might work well and help blood Kim Young-kwon on the left side. I'm guessing that Park Ji-sung will be playing in the withdrawn role in attack behind Lee Chung-yong and Park Ju-young from the media speculation that has been going around.

Lee YP is clearly the best on his side, positioning him higher gives him the opportunity to bring danger easier without the need to run all the field.

With Cha DR on the right side, the sides might be the key to bring danger in front of the iranian goal tomorrow. Lets just hope the positive results keep coming.

But i believe Jo is a good tactician and he can make something competitive out of this KNT.

Kim JW just got in, and almost costed korea a goal again ... who said this guy was good ? ...

Defeat 1-0 against iran.

Deserved, poor performance. No one was "good" today, looks like they just jumped out of the bed to play football. They didn't show the same aggressivity and paste like the last game against Nigeria.

Better lose now than in January, right ?

And again : Kim JW sucks.
