Daehan Minguk! Again!

That was an astonishing semifinal game, and the Korean team makes me proud to be...

...well, you know. Canadian. Got caught up in it for a second, there. But honestly - what a well-fought, sportsmanlike, pulse-pounder of a match. sh-t like this might just make a sports fan of me after all these years.

(Edit : Although, clearly, there are some questions about the accuracy of the officiating.)

There's going to be one hell of a party here tonight. The game just finished, and it's cocktail hour on a Saturday night.

    quarter-finals, not semi-. The semi-finals is today...

    By the way, talking about transcription, Hiddink's first name is not pronounced Gus, Goss or whatever. It's closer to Hu:s (long French 'u', not oo), with a VERY hard H. Very remote from Korea's geo-sseu...
