Gotta love the press, here's the headline for the South Korean Soccer Express story after the match "Jury still out for Daejeon boss"

South Korean Soccer Daily headline reads "Daejeon maintain unbeaten record" in a story that highlights our 11 match league run without a loss.

At the World Cup
Russia 2 - Chile 1 ... gamewinner at 87', Chile was a man short from 57' on
Iran 3 - Italy 0 ... a stunner, PK at 5' and another goal at 17' set the tone, the capper came at 42'

The transfer window has re-opened for clubs in South Korea.

Leaving: D/DM Kim Young-Bin. $107k transfer fee to us (minus solidarity fees) from Sampadora of Italian Serie A

Entering: 31 y/o Colombian DM/MRC Castrillon.
Entering: 27 y/o Korean ST/AML Kim Hyo-Ki.

Also entering with terms reached early this morning:
23 y/o Serbian Striker Ivan Markovic, a promising young trialist who we believe has not yet reached his full potential. That could more than justify his $1,500/wk (plus numerous bonuses) salary.

At the World Cup

Belgium 2 - Greece 0 ... a goal at 27' held up, late goal at 90'+3 iced it
Ivory Coast 4 - South Korea 0 .. 8' goal by Bony then a 2nd half hat trick for Kalou

Quarterfinal matchups
Brazil vs Russia
Uruguay vs Iran
Spain vs Belgium
Cameroon vs Ivory Coast
