Mon June 23, 2014
Our Reserves played a friendly at Mokpo Reserves, winning 1-0. Nothing particularly notable beyond the 72' goal by Yoo Sung-Gi. Well, also MC Lee Kwang-Jin pulled a hamstring running down a ball and will be out 3-4 weeks.

At the World Cup
South Korea 3 - Holland 1 ... Goals at 32' and 47' for SK, Robben scored at 58' but captain Park Chu-Young put things away with a tap-in at 70'
USA 1 - Germany 0 ... Altidore's goal at 14' held up
Greece 3 - South Africa 0

Through 2 matches for all groups, only three teams - Spain, Italy, Uruguay - are assured of going through. South Korea is still very much alive in Group H where Greece 6/+5 is first, SK is second 3/+0, Holland is third 3/-1 and South Africa is fourth 0/-4. SK vs S. Africa will be played on Friday.
