“I want to try several patterns of our attacking tactics. I also have some ideas towards the World Cup,” he said. “We must win the championship because it’s a home competition and Japan have never won the title before. I want to improve the team’s ability one rank or even half a rank, looking forward to the World Cup.”

raybrown27 — Fri, 23 Apr 2010 12:58:17 +0000

Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors picked up the first K-League championship title in their fifteen year history as they overcame seven time winners Seongnam Ilhwa Chunma in the 2009 Championship playoff final.

Having led from the front since the early stages of the season, Jeonbuk secured their place in the championship final by finishing four points clear of Pohang Steelers at the end of the regular league season. Seongnam, who finished fourth overall, overcame Incheon United, Chunnam Dragons and Pohang in the previous playoff rounds for the right to face Jeonbuk in the final, and the two sides played out a goalless draw in Seongnam in the first leg last Wednesday.

Chunma travelled to Jeonju for the second leg with high hopes of lifting the title, however Brazilian star Enio Oliveira Junior put the home side ahead with a 21st minute free kick effort that sailed past national team squad goalkeeper Jung Sung-ryong. Enio netted his second of the match six minutes from the break to send Motors in two goals up at half time.

Although Seongnam picked up the pace in the second half, Jeonbuk extended their lead from the penalty spot in the 72nd minute with former Seongnam forward and 2009 top scorer Lee Dong-guk netting his 21st goal of an impressive league campaign to send the 36,246 fans in the stadium wild with delight. Kim Jin-yong grabbed a consolation for Seongnam six minutes from time, but Jeonbuk were not to be denied a great victory and their first league title.

Although drawn with some traditionally strong opponents, recent form suggests that South Korea could stand a good chance of advancing from the group stages for the first time on foreign soil. Argentina will start the group as top seeds and heavy favourites, but the South Americans struggled in qualifying under the leadership of Diego Maradona and much will depend on him resolving the issues surrounding the team ahead of the tournament. With a squad full of talented players such as Lionel Messi and Carlos Tevez, they will be the team to beat in Group B.

Nigeria have struggled to make an impact at the World Cup since reaching the second round in both 1994 and 1998. In 2002 they exited at the group stage, where they faced Argentina, Sweden and England, and then failed to qualify for the 2006 World Cup. They had to wait until the final round of qualifying matches to book their spot in South Africa thanks to a 3-2 win over Kenya.

Greece emerged victorious at the 2004 European Championships but since then have failed to make much of an impact. They failed to qualify for the 2006 World Cup, exited Euro 2008 at the group stage and finished runners-up to Switzerland in qualifying for 2010, eventually overcoming Ukraine 1-0 in the playoffs.

Korea will face Greece in their opening match at Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium in Port Elizabeth on June 12th before taking on Argentina at Johannesburg’s Soccer City on June 17th. The final group match against Nigeria will take place on June 22nd at Durban’s Moses Mabhida Stadium.

“Be the Reds!” was a phrase popularized on T-shirts during the 2002 FIFA World Cup by supporters of the South Korean soccer team. The team’s jersey color is red, and its supporters are known as the Red Devils, having similar nomenclature as supporters of the Premier League’s Manchester United. While the true intentions of the creator of the phrase is unknown, many believe it to be a literal translation of a phrase in Korean, thus the practical translation should read “We are Red” or “Be Red”

The first incarnation of the T-Shirt featured a white brush stroked silk screened logo on a red T-shirt. The logo also appeared on hats, bandannas, socks, wristbands, backpacks, shoes, napkins, underwear, and probably other things as well. This was possible because the original logo was purposely not copyrighted or trademarked, to ensure widespread distribution of “Be the Reds!” items for supporters of the Korean soccer team everywhere. Originally, the alphabet “R” in the logo was designed to represent the number “12″, meaning that those who wear “Be the Reds!” shirts are the twelfth Korean players on the ground (There are eleven players in a soccer team), keeping the eagerness of the viewers ticket4football.com provides football fans with the facility to get Korea Republic World cup tickets and football tickets for other soccer events online.
