Korea v. Italy
My dad would have loved seeing this.
The only other time I’d ever really watched soccer was probably about 10 years ago or so, when Korea was playing another European team (Germany, I think it was), and I’d never seen my dad get so excited about sports before. I’d never seen my dad get that excited about anything, really, and it was nice. And I remember during that game, the Korean fans literally went beserk when Korea scored one whole goal — but ended up losing.
Right now they’re up again Italy and have gone further than any other Korean team in history. Outside, I can hear some crazy damn fans outside in the street, knocking on garbage pails in anticipation for the kick off.
GO BIG RED!!!!!!!
