정말 어쩌면 좋을까?
한국축구가 죽었다.
그 책임론을 놓고 말들도 많다.
축제 중의 축제
월드컵 거리응원축제
너무나 아쉬웠기에 분노할 만도 하다.
그러나 그토록 응원했던 우리라면 감싸안을 줄도 알아야하지 않을까?
전쟁에서 진 것도 아닌데.. 스포츠는 스포츠로서 즐길 뿐인데..
외신에 날 정도로 우리 팬심은 대단하다.
한국축구는 죽었다!!
너땜에 졌어

A national sports team returning home from a humiliating defeat can often
face the wrath of angry fans. South Korea’s national soccer players arrived back
from the World Cup on Monday to something a little more extreme: a banner
declaring the death of the local game.
As they lined up for a team photo at Incheon, Seoul’s main international
airport, the players were showered with “yeot,” a traditional candy that is
also a common synonym for a Korean expletive.
“Eat yeot!” yelled an angry taffy-thrower at the team, according to reports
from the airport.
The anti-fans also held up a banner printed in a design used for a funerals
that said: “South Korean soccer is dead!!”
South Korea finished bottom of its group at the World Cup in one of its
poorest showings in over a decade after defeats against Belgium and Algeria, and
a draw against Russia.
It’s unclear at whom the grievances were directed. Some reports cited other
members of the same angry group protesting against what they called a corrupt
soccer association that they alleged selects its squad based on politics rather
than skill.
Coach Hong Myung-bo, who blamed himself for the poor showing following the defeat against Belgium,
apologized in front of the Korean press and remained uncommitted about his own
future. A former national hero and soccer star, Hong’s contract runs through
next January.
