Ed Huang ... Thank you!

I wonder if Germany matches up better with
those teams than with S. Korea.

Spain, Italy, and Portugal (the way they played at this WC would have given
the German players more time with the ball.

Where the German players adjusted so well in this game, against S. Korea,
is that they rarely held the ball for more than two touches and where thus
able to beat the pressure of the opposing players.

Lucky? hmmm.... to have Kahn? yes!

But some fans in Italy and Spain might believe S. Korea had some luck as well.

However, all of this takes nothing away from the fact that I have appreciated the
efforts of the S. Korean team. Especially since watching them live at Foxboro Stadium (WC '94)
play 0:0 vz Bolivia. (I also got to see Maradona's (2:1) last game versus Nigeria.)

And ofcourse, after 0:3 deficit in Dallas to Germany it was impressive to see S. Korea come back
with two goals.

Can Cha become the finisher his dad was with Eintracht Frankfurt? They need that.
