Korea vs. Switzerland

Final score: Korea 0, Switzerland 2

I went to Koreatown to watch the FIFA World Cup soccer match during lunch today alongside thousands of other krazy Korean fans. We were all dressed in Red Devil red shirts. I arrived there at half time and caught the half-time show. There were young Korean-American singers and dancers on stage.

There was a big screen outside at the corner of Wilshire and Oxford. A sea of Koreans dressed in red rallied together to cheer for our motherland. Unfortunately, Korea was down 0-1 when I got there. It seemed that Korea had a hard time trying to get some shots in and played defense most of the time against the Swiss.

Time was ticking away and Korea started getting desperate. Then, in the midst of some sort of confusion, the ball was kicked to two Swiss players who were off-side. The Korean goalie, taken by surprise, tried to stop the ball, but the Swiss kicked the ball in and scored. The referee said the goal didn't count because they were off-side, but he was overruled by the officials. That controversial play was the nail that shut the coffin for Korea. Any chance of even tying was lost then. They lost all hope. The Korean crowd in Ktown was struck with disbelief. What a jip!!

I just took off right after the play. I couldn't bear to watch until the end.

Korea will be back in 2010 better than ever though! Just you wait!

I think I'm bad luck for the team because Korea never wins when I watch the game. I should never have gone to see the game.

Maybe, we should rename our team something else besides the Red Devils. Why would god want to help out a team named after the Devil? Why would god answer the prayers of Red Devil worshippers? Perhaps, we should call ourselves the Red Angels or something.
