Week one of the 2020 K-league season has finally been completed and we had a global audience tuning in to watch the local game that we love so much. But what was the same and what was different? Below is my review of an opening weekend that tried but probably fell a little short on…
The title might sound a tad harsh to the casual passer-by in Korean football but for those of us who have invested years and our, sometimes, hard-earned Won into the game here it is becoming a question that needs asked more and more regularly as the K-League lurches from disaster to disaster.
The first in a new series of full-time ‘afterthoughts’ is from today’s Seongnam v Daejeon K-League Two match as 2nd place hosted 4th in what was a huge match for both teams in their pursuit for promotion to the K-league One. Seongnam went into the game on the back of a 1 win in 7…
I really shouldn’t be upset given Suwon FC are finally in the playoff places having taken 13 points from the last 15 available and have kept 5 clean sheets in a row (more of that later) but watching the Republic of Korea, or should that be the Republic of Son Heung-min, at the Asian Games…
This week sees attention turn towards the FA Cup as the 3rd round gets underway with the K-League Two teams entering the competition and as a result we have two all K2 draws namely Busan vs Bucheon on April 3rd and tonight’s ‘all Citizen’ clash between Seongnam vs Daejeon. Seongnam come into the…

The weekend might be missing the champions but it will not be…
We’ve hardly had time to catch our breath or dry our clothes after what was a potential game of the season on Wednesday as Suwon FC just edged the first round of the playoff. A 3-3 draw was enough for them to see off the challenge of Seoul E-land and book themselves a date with…
K-League Classic Matchday 31 As we enter the final few games before the league splits there are still several teams battling it out for the right to play in the top six and the potential of claiming the final ACL spot for next season. This weekend will go a long way to deciding who’ll make it…
K-League Classic Matchday 22 – Saturday Preview This weekend sees the completion of the second round of league fixtures and now that every team had played each other twice we should, in theory, have a good idea of who the main players will be this season. The fixtures have been coming thick and fast…
