    MsrChips,

    You still up for that bet on Korea and Togo both advancing out of their group? Drop me a line: scott@icebergkorea.com

    I wonder if any of the cranky foreigners started breaking windows, flipping cars and starting fires to teach these childish, chanting and pot-and-pan-a-banging Koreans how to be proper football hooligans.

    It is more a pity the city did not make a proper greenspace out of that area wherein people could not crowd into it quite like that.
    One can easily imagine what will happen to the greenspace that is in Yonsan now once the city developers get their greedy paws on it.

    It’s not possible for Korea to meet Brazil in the final. Only possibilities are quarters or semis. But good luck there!

    십새끼,

    As greedy paws go, better the US than the Nortks, don’t you think..?
    But when Yongsan gets back to the people of this brilliant, albeit smelly country, guess who’s gonna enjoy it? The people? Land developpers? Bah!

    I heard that if you whistle the melody from the early song played at the ROK army finance base each morning Marmot automatically jumps up and pulls his hair out.

    “And whose greedy paws have been on it for the last 60 years?”

    People who actually like grass and trees as opposed to concrete. It has been a 60-year public trust fund, IMHO.

    Yongsan Base will go down hill as the poster implies, eh, and Marmot will likely pull even more hair out of his head after the Yanks leave it to the developers nd the individuals that buy it piece x piece.

    Good luck, Marmot.
