Emptybottle.org: Daehan Minguk

It's about an hour and forty-five minutes before the World Cup match between America and Korea begins in Daegu.

The Korea Herald is reporting that about 150,000 Red Devils (supporters of the Korean team) are expected in the Gwanghwamun area of Seoul, near the US embassy.

"The police are worried that citizens might throw things into the embassy or set the US flag on fire if Korea loses to the United States or if one of the US players angers Korean supporters by taking a so-called 'Hollywood action' or exaggerated gesture, similar to the incident involving US speed skater Apolo Anton Ohno during the 2002 Winter Olympics."

So let that be a warning to you, you Imperialist Yankee Footballers : no exaggerated gesures, or we're gonna trash your embassy!

I wouldn't chuckle too much - I bet you'd be hard to distinguish from a Yank, which means your butt could be a sling if the US wins.

Have any maple leafs you can pin to yourself?

PS : The game just ended in a tie, which is probably the best result, civil disorder wise...
