South Korea vs. France, Australia vs. Brazil
I'm rooting for France, sorry fellow Asians, but the South Koreans are challenging les bleus. Everyone of these games today are thrilling. The Australians were valiant against the soccer superheroes, but the Brazilians strategically and technically outclassed them in the end.
The commentary is subtly shaped by an anti-Asian bias. But then they called the Australian defenders "bulldogs" and the Brazilian offense "dancers." I like the animal metaphors here...you won't see those comparisons for instance -- the Americans are not compared with rattlesnakes or prairie dogs, and their handling of the ball is not compared to the fancy footwork of the foxtrot!
I want to walk away, but I can't.
OK...I take everything back as of the second half. South Korea deserves to win this game after the series of fierce attacks that resulted in a goal tying the game. I am really upset. I didn't realize how invested I was in this game because somehow I thought Zidane was going to have to triumph and bring about social reconciliation in France! I am really upset. Please, tell me this has no consequence whatsoever and that France's love of Zidane is just a big coverup for its subterranean social injustice!!!!
Boy was I wrong about that -- and by the way, shouldn't the whole world be realizing by now because of Ronaldhino that you don't need good orthodontry to have a charming smile or play great soccer!
