Schedule for Weekend of Jan 30th

Things are looking up for Korean playing European club football.  And Friday night, the KNT goes to the finals vs Australia.  Korea has been unconvincing at both ends of the pitch.  Tons of fortune has gone their way, from rivals Japan and Iran getting upset and knocked out, to opposition attackers missing wide open chances.  That said, every tournament winner needs its share of luck and a trophy is a trophy.  I'll figure out some way of waking up for it (4AM ET).

Yun Suk Young appears to be getting healthy again and has returned to full training.  A return to the starting may be in the cards depending of course on his health.

Suk Hyun Jun scored the first goal and played 87 minutes and should start again.

Hong Jeong Ho remains out of training dealing with a difficult foot injury.

Ji Dong Won played the second half of a friendly and scored a nice goal even if the touches leading up to the shot were a bit awkward with two Augsburg players confused who should take the ball.  Ji may get the start but he may be on the bench to start as he gets used to heavier workloads and also gets back into form having missed so much of the first half of the season.
