Reports that Nilsson-Lindelöf misses the game due to illness. I guess Pontus Jansson replaces.
Sweden: Olsen; Lustig, Jansson, Granqvist, Augustinsson; Claesson, Larsson, Ekdal, Forsberg; Berg, Toivonen.
South Korea: Kim; Lee, Park, G Kim, Jang Hyun-Soo; W Kim, Koo Ja-Cheol, Lee, Ki, Kim Min-Woo; Son, Hwang Hee-Chan.
Using subconcious racism against them
Aren't they all called Kim anyway?
Is it subconscious racism to think that all (or even some) Koreans look broadly similar at a glance?
Yes. It's not 'racism' per se just a fact of life.
The cross-race effect (sometimes called cross-race bias, other-race bias or own-race bias) is the tendency to more easily recognize faces of the race that one is most familiar with (which is most often one's own race). A study was made which examined 271 real court cases. In photographic line-ups, 231 witnesses participated in cross-race versus same-race identification. In cross-race lineups, only 45% were correctly identified versus 60% for same-race identifications.[1]
What I find lol is that they think that tactic might be useful. As if anyone care who is who. You just mark whoever is near you.
I can just imagine them coming up with that. They are world champions at getting intense/autistic about pointless side issues.
Okay, nerves are getting to me.
Jimmy's lot looking alright, but I assume they are probably a bombscare at the back.
Wook to end up with Warnock at Cardiff.
I was going to commend them for their unexpectedly superb contribution to the lumbering carthorse community. I love a good awkward seven foot brute up top more than anything.
I always thought only listening to football audio via the radio (no visual) would be shit but the commentators do fantastic work. The speak more often and in much more detail compared to the watching the game live on TV.
Bit harsh to start packaging the injured player for the Soylent Green facility right there on the touchline.
I wonder when everyone will finally realise that Son rhymes with don and not done.
He blows for everything but not for that?
Has Toivonen even touched the ball so far? Fucking useless
Now he touched it.
Sweden could do with an injection of pace, anyone on the bench?
Shame. Look solid enough but even the wide players are fairly pedestrian.
MArtin Olsson is the only one I can think of that has any sort of pace.
That Korean goalkeeper has a serious clanger in him, I reckon. He looks like he's being played by Tilda Swinton.
Not unless you're a Geordie or something. Or American.
Upload a recording.
First 0-0 of the tournament here.
On the upside the Jon Champion/Ally Mccoist commentary duo easily the best so far.
This is properly boring so far.
You just know Toivonen will be replaced by Kiese-Thelin who is equally shit as he.
This VAR-shit is dreadful.
There's a red card on this game.
Alexander Farnerud is what this game needs.
There have been more games with a VAR assisted penalty in them than without. It's an absolute mess.
Fuck yes get in!!!
You get the sense that referees are bottling making big calls in the knowledge that if it’s really wrong they can fall back on VAR, not good. Right decision was made in that instance but don’t see why the ref hasn’t given it in the first place.
