Folks, it has been a pleasure blogging here with you again. I started this before 2006 ... 
The Iranian team had come to play. They put up an excellent tactical and individual show and came within minutes of victory, but it wasn’t to be. The Koreans are too good to be taken for granted, especially at home. The cream of the Korean football rose to the ... 
The match against North Korea is less than 24 hours away now so I guess it's time to talk about line ups and tactics.
