China’s soccer team won on Wednesday against South Korea (China 3 – Korea 0), placing them in the lead for the four-team tournament held in Tokyo. It was China’s first victory over the Koreans since both countries began playing full internationals in 1978.

First this, and soon making Korea a tributary state again.
That awful red wig had to be “made in China”. Maybe Koreans could simply switch to just wearing red socks.
Damn… Just when Korea thought they had the better of Japan they get beaten by China.
Korea’s history so sucks!
This is just an exhibition game of a sport where most people don’t even use their hands WangKon, don’t worry about that. It’s what happens next that will suck.
I know… I was just playin’.
Yeah, bunch of C-graded players. I don’t take this championship seriously. What? Hong Kong is in it as well. That just tells the how low graded this championship was.
How Hong Kong was able to play in semis? North Korean walked off the playoff last year.
What tells you about the (supposedly good) team that can’t win by 10, 20-nil in a competition that sucks.

On the other news, in a practice game between the Chinese and Pohang Steelers a bunch of Chinese players surrounded 모따 and started beating him. Then they brought chairs out to threaten.
Hahaha. Imagine bringing chairs out to threaten people.
Maybe there is another reason to try harder to keep the Chinese off the international football scene, I heard from a Chinese it’s still a bunch of thugs in the game.
In the other news NOT on the other news.

Also, the Chinese are mad that CCTV did not broadcast the only winning game against Korea in 32 years. Apparently nearly all the games vs Korea have been broadcast and this one was also set, in the original program scheduling, but there is an interpretation about why it was pulled that it might have been an order from the above (expecting the Chinese to lose again)
YES, what “yuna” said. I actually saw some of that footage on TV where they brought steel folding chairs out, just like in WWF TV-wrestling. That was pretty low.
Yup. We Koreans save that sort of thuggery to within the National Assembly ^^
You know “yuna”, Robert should do a special thread on each assembly member’s special finishing move, alla Mortal Kombat, i.e., spine rip, makkoli-power punch, etc.
That must surely make up for not making it to the world cup again, infact not even making it to the 2nd round of qualification. They are pretty good at beating teams when there is nothing on the line.
Re Chinese football fans and players look at what happened to the under17 (ithink) Australian girls team in China. After the chinese girl players knocking over one of the Aussie girls over and standing over her, the
Chinese fans pelted the Asutralian girls with bottles and other things. Yes, grown men throwing bottles at GIRLS after their team won. Sportsmenship simply does not seem to be in their sports culture.
Their behaviour, the actions of the chinese at the olympic torch run and reading this blog have made me quite anti-chinese.
I may regret asking but, anyway: Elgin, why do you write “yuna” ?
Because he thinks she is actually a man?
Miracle on grass! For once the Chinese beat the Koreans (which doesn’t indicate much at all. Korean soccer is still leaps and bounds ahead of China’s) and you guys are acting like sour losers, making fun of the wig (please show me superior quality wigs made in South Korea) and bringing up the fight between Guoan and Pohang (what did you think that triggered the fight?), geez. The Chinese played very well and the Koreans simply sucked, that’s why they lost, duh!
Yeah R Elgin, didn’t you get the memo that we are to refer to her as “tuna?”
Interesting name, Juchechosunmanse.
I knew it was only a matter of time before the “Great China – Korea Wig War” became reality. Everybody run for cover.
don’t go to a chinese restaurant in the states and tip less than 15%. they will chase you and demand a tip. the first two times, the person paying our meal was from korea and forgot she had to pay tips in the states. one was at a dim sum restaurant in SF and the other at a chinese buffet in Seattle. both times, the waitress followed to demand a tip. the third time, at a chinese buffet, my brother paid less than 15% tip because one, it was a buffet and two, the service sucked. the waitress was slow to clear the table. she chased after my brother to his car demanding at least 15% tip. don’t piss chinese people off.
btw, what’s up with the wig war? i just heard my dad and uncle talking about it today. is it in the news or something?
Why Faux News is so popular:
This morning on Faux News: Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Wall Street, Congress, etc.*
This morning on CNN Int’l: 59 minutes, 45 seconds (less ad time) of “Bill Clinton is in the hospital with chest pains, but is in good spirits. We don’t know anything.” Followed by 15 seconds of “Iran is now a nuclear power, etc., who cares?”*
*Notes: I like Bill Clinton. I hate Faux News. Every issue they cover has an anti-Dem, anti-We the People, pro-Wall Street slant. But at least they COVER the issues.
Good for them. It’s a nice consolation prize for the Chinese for missing the big dance. Again.
#20 You guys were probably speaking Korean too loud. A good portion of Chinese customers don’t pay more than 10% tip, and none at all if they’re from HK.
