I wonder how Koreans living in China just North of the North Korean border view their citizenship. Do they want to be Chinese, North Korean, South Korean, revert to the Koguryo Kingdom?

I'd love to spend more time in the region but would have trouble explaining why we are here to my Chinese girlfriend. I'll just climb a big ass mountain take some cool pictures and try to whip up a converastion with anyone who can understand my rudimentary Korean. We have no time to go visit the club (just to try and bring my thoughts vaugely close to the subject of football).

Vaguely on topic I was covering jobs material with my 2nd grade today and I included a picture of Messi for Football Player. All of my 2nd grade classes identified who he was and what club he played for. But it was normally only one or two boys who knew. They need a famous Chinese star to kickl things on. They are mad for Basketball just because of the success of Yao Ming. Basketball isn't particulally popular in Korea or Japan to my knowledge. If a Chinese Park Jiseoung was to come along it would greatly help things develop over here.

I haven't been in Korea since Son Heoungmin started going Nova for Spurs. But he was treated like a god when he was at Leverkusen he must be just the hotest thing in South Korea right now (still has to complete his military service).

In what world is Costa Spain's best striker? I think you should watch more international games

Who is Spain's best striker then out of question ? XD
Costa and Vitolo have the most goals for their country in qualifiers for World Cup so far with 4 yet Vitolo is a winger right? Then there is Morata who just hasn't had the game time at international level yet nor at club level to really push him on or he could replace Costa for sure. Other than Morata there is Adruiz guy who is 40 right ? Costa played all world cup qualifiers from the start minus maccedonia game he was suspended for and Spain sit top of the group.

Starting lineup seems to be this everygame;
De Gea
Carvjal Pique Ramos Alba
Iniesta Biscuits Koke
Silva Costa Vitolo

Ive never been a fan of Costa, like at all, but he is the best theyve got now

Maybe Spain should switch to a 4 4 2 with Martinez and Pique at the back and play Ramos and Azpilicueta as forwards. It would put a huge pressure on the opponent's defenders and it would make great targets in the box.

Why on earth would you play Ramos as a forward for the full game? Far too big a chance that he'll get a red card! Just play whatever system works best without Ramos, and then sub him in in the 90th minute for the guaranteed goal.

Well, this PL season was interesting until Chelsea's run. They seemed to be in the middle of rebuilding like Liverpool/Utd especially after the Arsenal loss, but then for whatever reason they turned it up while City and Arsenal imploded. There was a lot of overreaction early season to how strong City looked. Tottenham was very consistent and would've won the title most years. Arsenal imploded earlier than usual and harder than usual. Utd's season is ultimately disappointing even if we win UEFA. The attack was dysfunctional all season. Martial took a huge step backward and Rashford's development has been stunted by Ibra. Only bright spots are the defense and Herrera.

German U19-Championship finals between Dortmund and Bayern went all the way to penalties. (8-7 Dortmund). Most pens were far better taken than what you're used to from the pros imo.

Bundesliga or Pokal? Because I'm pretty sure we're playing in the Pokalfinale... Or wrong age?
