Ba ji sung, Ba ji sung, Ba ji sung! Come on you reds!!

We went to a soccer, sorry – football, game on Saturday night. It was so much fun. We went to see Korea v Iran in the Asian cup. It was the first home game since the world cup and the crowds were definitely out. It’s a wierd feeling to hear the football songs that you are familiar with, sung in Korean. I joined in as much as I could – mainly just yelling out “aaa ooo aaa eee ju” or something of the sort. I did learn the one phrase “Tay han min guk” which is basically “go korea”. I also found out that 3 of the players on the Korean team play for british teams. Ba ji sung, who is the Korean favorite plays for Man United!!

It was a really fun game that unfortunately ended in a draw – Iran scored in the last 5 seconds. 5 seconds!!! It was gutting.
