    Heh, was it just me, or did Burroughs look like the only happy person on the podium during the medal ceremony?

    LOL.... 2-0 Korea.. BOOYAH!

    Edit... By the way, Japan throwing the elbow in the air while going for the 50/50 ball making Korea's striker bleed??? That wasn't dirty?

    What about the dangerous play in Korea's box missing the ball with bicycle kick by a foot, almost kicking the Korean defender who's going for the header in the head?

    TBH, that 2002 World Cup run is the most significant single event in S. Korean football history.

    Didn't see that play since I stopped watching at about 40 minutes to watch basketball. If an elbow was intentionally thrown by Japan, that's dirty, too, but the S.Koreans definitely came out of the game intending to hard foul Otsu.

    The high kick by Sakai was dangerous but he wasn't intending to hurt anybody, just trying to get a play on the ball in the box.

    I don't care for either of these teams, either. I'm not biased and just calling it how I see it.

    Our American girls beat Japan yesterday and the South Korean men beat Japan today. As a Korean-American I could not be more happy, especially since it's against Japan. Suck on it Japan, suck it hard.

    True, but nothing is certain until the match is over. It's still nice to see him complete his goal.

    It happens

    As a whole event, 2002 world cup is more important, however, single game, this was the most important, IMO.

    her name is McKayla Maroney and she's part of the US Womens Gymnastics team. She was expected to win gold on the vault but fell on her butt. People gave her crap about being a bad sport and that pic of her on the podium has gone viral. And like the two people above me have siad she's only 16 so I'm reporting you to

    If she wears a unitard and flips, you must not thrust the hips.

    Her name is McKayla Maroney; she's part of the gold-medal winning US gymnastics team.
