K-League One 2019 Week 27 – Predictions
It’s been a crazy busy month in work so no previews again, but below are predictions for this weekend’s games.
K- League One Week 23 – Previews & Predictions
This midweek sees the return to action of the K-League One after the Friday night farce that was the “K-League All-stars” clash with a lackluster and late Juventus. That match did allow players such as Osmar and Cessinha to showcase their talents in front of a crowd of eager Ronaldo ‘fan-boys’ but whether it will…
Rice Wine Ramblings Vol 12 : Suwon FC vs Gwangju FC
Over the last couple of years I’ve really enjoyed going to watch the “good” Suwon team, they have passionate fans, can generally spot a decent foreign player and embrace the concept that football and alcohol are indeed good bedfellows. Unfortunately since Seongnam made it to the K-League One there have been fixture clashes most weeks…
K-League One Week 22 – Previews & Predictions
Many a neutral (or non-Jeonbuk fan) has lamented the lack of any real title challenge in the K-League One of late and have dreamed of a repeat of the dramatic scenes of 2013 as Pohang clinched the title in the last minute. Last weekend saw those dreams ebb ever closer to becoming reality as nothing…
Rice Wine Ramblings Vol 11 : Anyang FC vs Busan I-Park
Anyang FC had played their opening K-League Two games of the 2019 season away from home to allow them to construct temporary stands around the running tracks and what better match to see them first hand than the visit of 2nd placed Busan I-Park. Anyang Stadium is best accessed by a 15~20 minute walk from…
K-League One Week 21 – Previews And Predictions
Last week saw two rounds of K-League One games as we had a round of midweek matches which finally witnessed FC Seoul run out of luck as they traveled to Jeju full of confidence only to fall to a 4-2 defeat with ex-Seoul hero Yun Il-lok getting himself a hat-trick. Elsewhere there were wins for…
Rice Wine Ramblings Vol 10 : Seongnam v Ulsan
When you’ve just spent 2 weeks in Thailand and are going thru a live football ‘cold turkey’ that would make most of Hollywood shudder then there are few better games to quench your needs than the visit of the 2019 Ulsan FC team. I’ve watched K-League for the best part (or worst depending on the…
K-League One 2019 Week 19 – Previews & Predictions
There was no change at the top of the table last weekend with the top three teams drawing, Seoul holding Ulsan to a draw and Jeonbuk unable to break down a plucky 10-man Pohang Steelers. The bottom six seen Seongnam leapfrog Bluewings after a victory over Sangju in their last match in Moran on the…
The Last Tango In Moran?
As the full time whistle rang out on Friday past it signalled not only a huge 3pts for Seongnam but also brought the curtain down on their temporary stay back in Seongnam Sports Complex. The move was initiated by the need to upgrade the facilities at Tancheon Sports Complex but it was also something that…
Rice Wine Ramblings Vol 9 : Seongnam FC v Jeonbuk Motors
Not only was this the first time that Seongnam had welcomed the Champions since June 2016 it would also be the Kim Shin-wook fanclub’s (@RevJChrist) final K-League match before heading home to challenges afresh. The visit of Jeonbuk was one I had been looking forward to for a while as they are truly truly the…
