On paper, Korea should have (just) won this, and they did (just) win this, so I can't really ask more than this. Mexico next!
Another disappointing campaign (so far) in my eyes. Ulsan obviously were on a huge downturn last season, but after a decent start, all of them had stinking results in the last few rounds. Gangwon and Seoul now have Machida and Kobe as their opponents in a couple of weeks, which aren't impossible ties, but it could have been better.
P.S. good luck to Pohang tomorrow
Jeonbuk and Daejeon go to ACLE, with Pohang having a playoff for ACLE (although they might go straight into ACLE depending on who wins the current ACLE/ACL2).
If Gwangju win the Korean Cup, they'll be in ACL2. If Jeonbuk win it, Gangwon will be in ALC2.
Daegu relegated. Jeju in a relegation playoff vs Suwon Samsung. Suwon FC in a relegation playoff vs Bucheon.
I'd heard about him earlier this year, but I thought he probably wasn't interested. I think with this, he's locked into playing for Korea. The women's team had Casey Phair join them a year or two ago as well, I imagine she was the first from men or women.
Interesting to see Jeong Sang-bin return. He hasn't really lived up to the potential he seemed to have since leaving Korea. He might not actually get any play time, though.
Video set to private soon after I posted ... perhaps Coupang Sports will put it up some highlights eventually.
