Koreans leave on a high
Posted: 2010-01-15 09:08

South Korea’s Taeguk Warriors ended their three-match tour of South Africa on a high yesterday when they beat Bay United 3-1 at Port Elizabeth’s Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium.

The Koreans, who will be back for the World Cup in June, head to Malaga, Spain for their next friendly against Finland.

Their coach Huh Jung-Moo was happy with the tour: “We played our first two matches at high altitude, but we were more comfortable here in Port Elizabeth. The experience we gained today will definitely help us for our very important opening game of the World Cup against Greece,” he told the Herald newspaper.

Umlilo coach David Bright was equally pleased with having had the opportunity to hone their skills against a national side like Korea.

“Never mind the result, we played well. It was a good experience for us to play against a well-conditioned side like Korea, especially since we just returned from the festive season break.

“The game provided good preparations for us for our next five games in the league as we look to fight our way into the Premier Soccer League at the end of the season,” said the Bay mentor.

The Koreans also downplayed safety concerns in South Africa during the World Cup in June, saying they felt “very safe” in the country.

“Since we arrived, we have had a visible police presence around us and we have no fears at all. We are really enjoying our stay. The people are very kind and there is great hospitality,” said team media spokesman Ilki Park.

It's only a matter of time before Africa rises again,and the people who thought they where created superior are shaking in their pyjamas grin because they think we will kill all of them and despoil their daughters and wifes.

I think as Africans wherever you are,you should make it your project to do things that will benefit your house,street,neighborhood,suburb,town,city,province,state,country,region and your continent.We have all the knowledge,information,experience and wisdom to make Africa succsesful.Let it begin with you and me.Let's do it for ourself.

I thought I should update Nigeria on Korea's preparation,they're currently based in South Africa.

Posted: 2010-01-13 09:02

South Korea’s coach Huh Jung-moo has warned his players that they have work to do after playing to a goalless draw against Platinum Stars in Rustenburg yesterday.

The Taeguk Warriors arrived in South Africa at the start of the year to prepare for matches against Argentina, Greece and Nigeria at the 2010 World Cup in June.

The Zambia defeat was a wake-up call for the 2002 World Cup semifinalists, who are looking for the right combination in attack. With star striker Park Chu-young busy with AS Monaco commitments in Europe, coach Huh is trying to cast his net far and wide.

“We are continuing to evaluate candidates to fill the striker position, but if the current group of players fail to meet expectations in the friendly matches leading up to the World Cup, we will have to do without them,” Huh told the Korean media yesterday.

Nigeria is going down,your players cannot run,I think majority are in their late thirties.Having witness your uselss team now I have a renewed hope in South Africa to do well during the world cup.

My predictions are Naija will win 1-0 against Benin and lose with the same margin against Mozambique.Egypt and Moz will go through this group.

I have alsways admired the Naija players,but have always maintain that the Supe Eagle as team suck big time.Just like anything Nigerian they win games and tournaments with their mouths.Can you believe that most of think Nigeria is a leading football and the best African football team? Yet in all their history they've won the cup that is played every two years just twice? only twice?

African powerhouses are Egypt,Ghana,Cameroon.Nigeria is not there yet,hope they won't disgrace us during the World Cup.I wish you people learn to sometime shut your mouths and speak with your actions.Intelligent people do that.

@ MyJoe,your views made me think,and thank you for that,I think it was wellthought and balance.

Nigerians are known allover Africa for bullying,esspecially in their host countries and I think South Africa is the only country where its blacks tell Nigerians where to get off,and you guys cannot understand why,because in your Degrees mind you think we're stupidd,whitewashed iidiots.

I don't think South Africans think they're better or Superior to other blacks in Africa,what I know is they think most African States are badly run,there's a feeling that because of that if borders are opened the whole of Africa will want to come in.Yes we all know that is not true.But we have all nationalities in South Africa,all 53 states in Africa have someone in Azania(RSA).

If Glo decide to come to Southy,most people will definetly be happy,because it means competition,and with compettion it means lower rates and quality services.

South African companies invested in Nigeria at the times when few companies wanted to do business in Nigeria,they took risks and they're now reaping rewards,and also they where also offering world class services that where not there at the time.And it's good that company like Glo are there today,competing with a worldclass company,that could only benefit the people.South African retailers like Pick and Pay,Woolworth,Game,Dion,Nandos and others are also offering Naija people some of the services that wasnot there.And if big Nigerian companies opens to rival the above,offering the same service and more it will be good for the masses.

I think South Africa played a very meaningful part in shaping the current Nigeria,and for Nigeria to develop further they need South Africa and it's companies,I am not saying this in a arrogant way,hope you understand.

The only weakness with Nigeria is it's law,South Africa will not give licence or allow any major company international to trade in South Africa without local shareholding.You have to sell some of your shares to a local if you want to do business in SA.I think Nigeria should also do that.This will benefit the locals economicaly and in terms of experience.Create laws that will benefit you and your country.

We had THISDAY newspaper,which was Nigerian owned,and was well supported but operated for just over a year and was bankrupt,caused by mismanagement,surely you can't blame the country for that.

Pharoh:
All african leagues are best i hope you get what i mean.

By the way i follow that too and i actually like four teams there

Mamelodi sundowns, Maroka swallows, Kaizer chiefs and ajax.

Which of the team among those 4 above was banned from caf competitions some years ago for not participating after winning the PSL? undecided
Don't mind me oo grin I was just pulling your small finger grin
To answer your question, my team Kaizer Chiefs was banned from participating after they refused to honour their return leg in Madagascar because of the violence and the coup in that country.
They've also refused to play in confedaration cup this year,even though the ban is lifted.

Mamelodi Sundown best ever striker was a Nigerian called Raphael Ndukwe Chukwu,nicknamed Chuku train
Moroka Swallows has the tendency to recruit Nigerians goal keeper,their current Keeper is Greg Etafia and before him was Ida "supersport" Peterside
Kaizer Chiefs had a striker from Nigeria last season named Victor Ogbonna,he made his impression but was injury prone and the club released him.
Ajax Cape Town is known for their world class accademy that has produced players like steven pinaar,benni mccarthy,and recently the Cameroonian international midfield Eyong Enoh who now plays for Ajax in Amstradam.Also Mikel Obi spend sometime at Ajax in Capetown.

The current hotest Nigerian import in SA league is Prince Olomu,he is a second best scorer this season,and the fact that he is a midfielder make him very special.
