[...] The Korean victory in turn will help the US enter the semifinals if they can beat Mexico, which the way the US is playing (crappy) is by no means a sure thing. Of course the Korean media is hyping up the fact that the Koreans have helped the Americans again like they did during the last World Cup, the Marmot’s Hole has the inside scoop on that. Than of course the Korean media has to bring up all the times they were “cheated” of glory to the Korean race by the wicked Americans: In the Sydney Games of 2000, the Korean team failed to make it into the finals from the round of four because of a bad call, and in the 2002 Winter Games in Salt Lake City, short-track skater Kim Dong-seong was deprived of his gold metal because of the “Ohno Incident.” And two years ago, during the 2004 Athens Games, gymnast Paul Hamm took away Yang Tae-yeong’s sure “gold.” At each turning point, the party that tripped up Korea for doubtful reasons was none other than the United States. Despite this, Korea has played the role of rescuer each time the United States has faced crisis. A typical instance was the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup. [...]

I am glad to see that they were put in their places. Koreans have been acting arrogantly since the begining of time in typical Korean fashion whenver they win something in sports. Read this piece of trash journalism in the biggest daily in Korea for a dose of how bad the K-media likes to revel in self masturbation.

The article states that American girls are going ga ga over Koreans now because “Koreans are so handsome and cool.” LOL!!!

If the article above wasn’t so funny given that the members of the Korean team look about as attractive as a rabid chimp, it would be very fitting that a piece of work like this resorting to made up lies so that the home crowd can feel so proud of themselves could come straight from something out of a Nazi eugenics manual. Well, I guess that is the only way Koreans can feel good about themselves.

But we all know how they are the most tasteless winners in the world, bragging and gloating whenever they win or beat Japan/US, but of course, when they lose, they are worse (making death threats to American olympic atheletes who beat Korean atheletes fair and square, whining and throwing chairs at boxing officials in the 1988 Olympics, etc.) You dont see Japanese fans making death threats at the US umpire for the bad call. Completely different mindset.

Looks like a case of sour grapes…I love it! Korea..u guys sucked and Japan clobbered you guys 6:0!!! Hahahah

Korea? Humble? Those two words shouldnt even exist in the same sentence.

Korea, arrogance, death threats to Olympic Skater contining even 4 years after the incident..immature, inferiority complex, and jealousy..now those words are all part of one big happy family.

Looks like da gooks are really sulking in misery after having the ball handed to them despite their arrogant bragging. LOL..i Love it

2) American baseballers never play Allstar games with heart, and this series is no exception.

You are comparing Allstar games to an international tournament. They didn’t WANT it as much as the other national teams because Americans just don’t have any national pride, or heart. That’s what you are saying. But you might be onto something, this phenoenon seems to be ocurring in basketball and hockey as well. That would make Americans the most unlucky in the world? Or is competition heating up?

3) A winning streak does not make your country the world’s best, just the world’s luckiest.

I don’t remember anyone saying they were world’s best, not a single member of the Korean team would dare say that. They haven’t even made the final yet. Winning 6 in a row, with the best pitching record in the series, and having made 0 errors on the field, yeah REAL lucky. They should quit baseball and become full-time gamblers.

4) Kim In-sik is not humble; he is merely honest.

Humble or honest (actually my original argument was that it was mature and approriate), it’s a far cry from the statement made by Ichiro, which was the starting point of that argument as someone suggested his remarks were mature and appropriate.

This is not confirmed but I read that the pitcher in question is injured and he took some pain killers, which lead to problems in the drug test.

“favored diplomacy over a no holds barred win” - are you saying they lost on purpose so that everyone can feel nice nice? Oh come on, I understand what you’re saying about sportsmanship, but that’s going a little too far.. and it serves no justice to those American players who gave it their best (eventhough they sucked).
