Kiddie's World Cup

Korea is getting redder by the day as the World Cup countdown is on and everyone is decked out in Red Devil t-shirts, hats, armbands, bandanas... and underwear! Trent has a t-shirt and we both have the arm bands ready to go.

For the warm-up match against Ghana (in Scotland) half a stadium worth of people watched the match on a big screen in Seoul. The trains have already started special extended schedules so that masses of people can move around the city and gather in front of big screens to cheer on the Devils.

If that's not enough, there is a TV channel that broadcasts X-box soccer games (complete with studio audience!). But, our favourite is the Kiddie's World Cup. The telecast features full commentary and all the camera angles that you see in the real comp. Recently they showed a Korea v England showdown- as you can see the English team had a bit of a height advantage. Despite this, Korea took the game 2:1 thanks to a late goal.

Hilarious, even if we couldn't understand what they were saying!

Go Korea!
