I’m pretty sure Australia’s matches will still be shown.

I’m guessing — but I’m not betting the farm or the apartment — that other, non-Korea-related matches will be shown with about as much frequency as they were prior to Korea’s exit.

Each has their own favorite team- Brazil, Germany, Spain, Argentina, England, etc. I hope Swiss to go far. Maybe even to top four; that will make Korea look good.

Ghana is also my favorite. I want an African team to win the Cup. That will make new history.

Just not K-league.

At least 4 people I’ve spoken to in the last week were surprised to hear that I was following the Cup instead of NBA or NHL finals. Poor saps. What’s really funny though is they all asked me if South Korea had its own football team…That was really rich! I guess the world doesn’t revolve around football for everyone.
