U learning Korean? dude, best language ever hands down. I hope and I pray that South Korea and America advance, that way even though I'll be 100% cheering for the US, at least one of my favorite teams will move on to the semi-finals.

It might even start a fight in my house considering my wife and I will be cheering for opposite sides. It'll be super fun to rub it in at all the koreans when the US moves on. Speaking of which I have an upstairs neighbor from Ghana. hmm OH YES

Thank you for this. It is classic.

Ghana will definitely be the worst team left in the round of 16 and then it's either Uruguay or South Korea. Neither of those teams scare me at all.

Uruguay has played well this tournament. Not a team to look past... We would have to play (shoot) considerably better than we did against Algeria.

As long as we're having a Korean love-fest, I served my mission there. I was just thinking, this very night, about how long it's been since I've eaten some good deok-pogi.

Mmmm.

Not how you spell it (Romanize it), so it took a minute to figure out what you're talking about.

Spent a year there teaching English, in Cheonan, interestingly enough, so I often root for them in international events and root against Japan.

The Donovan goal will be one of those "Do you remember where you were when..." moments

Duk Boki?

Unfortunately, romanization is a hit and miss prospect, as there is not a rigid standard to work from. I would have much rather used the actual korean myself.

Anyway, I've been to Cheonan. I served in a little city outside of it called Onyang. Good times.
