SOUTH KOREA VS NORTH KOREA (FOOTBALL, NOT WAR)

I went to see a football match tonight with some coworkers since we had a day off. It was good craic. North Korea vs South Korea at the World Cup Stadium here in Seoul. It was my first football match in a long time and the atmosphere was great. Lots of cheering, flags, Mexican waves, etc. And I got to see real North Koreans, though to be honest, they look very similar to South Koreans.
The match wasn't amazing, despite the presence of Manchester United's Ji-Sung Park. North Korea is infamous for using all their manpower on defense and the case was no different tonight. But in the eighty-seventh minute, South Korea scored an exciting goal to win 1-0. A nice experience for me and a wonderful way to spend my day off.
