Re: [nas] US v. Korea [R] (politics)

["Rick Young@Blast, FC" <ryoung@beol.net>]

i just did not understand the political overtones of this match. we are allies with s korea helping them defend against a potential conflict with n korea.  their students fill our graduate education programs.

which is more important, an olympic gold medal or national defense?  and the US were not the judges in that contest.

so what is it *really*, the usual "we hate the big guy"?

Just let it go man, let them have their moment, I hope that we have the chance to strut as a soccer nation in a filled stadium with 99% of the fans wearing red and singing and chanting all game long. Just as I think that Mushnick guy went too far in his criticism. Stop being so politically correct people!
