Watching Korea's 1st Game at the Stadium


Hello,

We are enjoying the World Cup here in Korea. As already stated we are trying to watch some of the games but the time difference is a killer.

Last night, we went to the World Cup Stadium in Seogwipo to watch the game with some 10,000 cheering Korean soccer fans. It was cool to here everyone route for their country.
We went with a few of our friends and enjoy the atmosphere. Everyone was very excited until Togo scored in the first have. The crowd wasn't too happy but the Korean team scored the equalizer in the second half of a free kick. It was a sweet goal because the Togo captain was sent off with a red card on the free kick foul.
The togo team was now down to 10 players and the Koreans were pressing hard. The crowd was erupting whenever Korea had the ball. Korea scored a second goal and everyone was so excited. Korea won 2-0 and we enjoyed it all. It was amazing to have so many people excited about the win and to enjoy the World Cup fever. We don't have that at home for the World Cup.
After the game, we went to a restaurant in the harbor and watched the France and Swiss game. We stayed up pretty late and enjoy the game even though it was a 0-0 draw. We went to bed before the Brasil game started at 4 AM.

Korea plays next monday agaisnt France at 4 AM and hopefully I will wake up and watch the game. I am not sure if that will work. I know that Karina won't get up and will stay in her comfy bed.
