After the 2002 World Cup ended, Japan launched a slogan called the '100-Year Reform' and set their ultimate goal as winning the World Cup.

What they did next was to dispatch people to Germany and offer contracts to German football experts, bringing them to Japan in order to directly import the German Bundesliga's league system.

As a result, the J.League system became almost identical to the Bundesliga system.

On the other hand, Korean football administration focused entirely on preserving our own, existing ways.

If you ask me to quantify the developmental gap caused by that difference in approach between 2002 and 2026, I would dare say that Japan is now about ten times further ahead.

Aren't you and a select few the only ones even claiming this is an issue? lol

It's just plain stupid to judge and police what Asians wear solely through a Western lens in the first place.

You’d find it absolutely ridiculous if an Asian started criticizing how Westerners dress. Should we start doing the exact same thing to you?

Lately, Westerners haven't just stopped at clothing; they've been arrogantly meddling in East Asian skin tones, too.

Exactly how far are you going to overstep with your Western-centric mindset? Let me make this perfectly clear: you have absolutely no right to meddle, so keep your mouth shut.

It's honestly laughable that you're jumping in, acting like it's some massive problem, just because a 22-year-old woman wore an outfit exactly once for a broadcast concept.

@meci61 @eng866797374564 just wore it once to fit the broadcast concept.
What business is it of a German how an East Asian dresses? Do even have the right to interfere?

@RBcleay SK and Japan are probably the easiest nations to manipulate with fake news.

As soon as 'patriotism' kicks in, both countries turn into a bunch of absolute idiots who post things without even bothering to fact-check...😮‍💨

@CajuSantos58020 @RoidZcoc @c_andle In fact, very few Brazilians think as smartly as you do. That is why this controversy has not yet been resolved. The original poster was probably hurt because of that as well. Still, thank you very much for your gentle opinion.

[💭 @euklbe]

If you consider your claims to be more accurate than official FIFA documents, you should go to a hospital. The doctor will probably tell you what the name of your illness is.

And do not overgeneralize your personal opinion as the opinion of the entire world. If the whole world had judged South Korea to be a country that bribed referees, South Korea would have already been arrested by the US FBI in 2015.

Do not be consumed by the online world; go outside and take a walk.

최휘영 장관님과 관련 공무원 여러분 애쓰셨습니다.

저도 전임 명예 프로축구단장이자 심정적 붉은악마로서 예상밖 결과에 당황을 넘어 황당함을 느낍니다.

결국 인사가 만사임이 다시 한번 증명됐습니다. 능력보다 네편내편을 더 중시해 무능한 사람을 지휘관으로 선발하면 결과는 불보듯 뻔합니다.

공사구별을 못하고 공익보다 사익을 앞세우는 엉터리 인사가 가능한 것은 인사권자에 대한 감시 견제 문책이 불가능하거나 어렵기 때문입니다.

결국 모든 조직은 민주적 구성과 통제, 권한과 책임의 일치가 중요합니다.

민간 영역의 민주적 지도력 구성과 객관적 감시견제 체제 확립은 이 정부의 주요 국정과제입니다.

농협 임원구성을 조합원 직선제로 바꾸는 것처럼 대한체육회나 축구협회등 체육단체는 최협의의 대의원에 의한 소수 간접선거제가 아니라 관련 체육인 모두에 의한 직선제를 도입하도록 행정지도를 하시도록 지시했는데 잘 이행중인 것으로 압니다.

운영의 투명성, 공정성, 객관성을 위해 엄격한 감시견제 시스템을 구축하고, 행위와 결과에 대해 상응하는 책임을 지게하는 것도 중요한 과제입니다.

국민들을 허탈하게 한 이번 월드컵 본선진출 실패는 조직과 인사의 실패에 의한 것으로 보입니다.

월드컵 출전에도 많은 국민 혈세와 국가적 지원역량이 투입되는 만큼 문체부에서 이번 사태의 정확한 상황, 원인 분석, 재발방지와 개선을 위한 대책을 꼼꼼하게 챙겨 주시기 바랍니다.

어처구니 없는 일로 국민들께 깊은 실망을 안겨드린 점 매우 송구합니다. 다시 이런 일이 재발하지 않도록 체육행정 개혁을 신속하게 추진하겠습니다.

I have already completely answered the hidden truths regarding the fouls, send-offs, and disallowed goals during the matches you are claiming, based on official FIFA documents. If you don't even think about using your intelligence to search for the official documents and keep approaching this with a little girl's sentimentality, I don't feel any value in this debate.

[💭 @euklbe]

You say you don't have anti-Korean sentiment?

There are absolutely no records in FIFA's official documents or from the US FBI stating that South Korea officially bribed the referees.

But you are convinced that South Korea bribed the referees. When I checked your account, I even saw several retweets showing your firm belief in the referee bribery.

Furthermore, when playing against the countries you mentioned, Korean players also received severe fouls to the point of sustaining broken nose injuries, yet the referee took no action whatsoever.

If you want to claim that only South Korea committed fouls, go check those matches again first and then argue back.

[💭 @euklbe]

The information you dismissed by saying, "The AI would naturally answer like that," is not the AI's personal opinion, but simply 'objective facts' taken directly from FIFA's official records and the results of actual global investigations.

If, as you say, the "whole world" was convinced that South Korea bribed the referees, why did absolutely no evidence of bribery regarding South Korea emerge during the 2015 FIFA corruption scandal investigation, which even involved the US FBI? Numerous football officials worldwide were arrested as a result of that investigation, but no one anywhere in the world found a single piece of evidence that South Korea paid referees during the 2002 World Cup.

Looking at your tweets, you seem like a mass of inferiority complex already filled with anti-Korean sentiment, and I am under no obligation to dig through FIFA documents just to reply to you. If you are truly convinced that South Korea bribed the referees, use your own intelligence, search for the official FIFA records, study them yourself, and then come back to me.

[💭 @euklbe]

If they had scored the first goal with overwhelming skill without interfering by pulling Kim Tae-young's shirt, it wouldn't have been disallowed, would it?

As for the second goal, it was simply judged that the ball had already crossed the goal line before the player made the cross.

If the disallowance of those two goals were truly clear officiating errors and evidence of bribery, South Korea would absolutely not have been able to escape the 2015 FIFA corruption scandal investigation.

[💭 @euklbe]

Rubén Baraja's first goal was disallowed because the referee judged that Iván Helguera committed a foul by pulling Kim Tae-young's shirt.

Fernando Morientes's second goal was disallowed because the assistant referee raised the flag, judging that the ball had crossed the goal line before Joaquín made the cross. The main referee made the decision based entirely on that linesman's flag.

[💭 @euklbe]

First, the sending-off of two players in the match against Portugal was not a biased decision by the referee, but a legitimate ruling in accordance with the rules. João Pinto received a straight red card for an extremely dangerous two-footed tackle from behind on Park Ji-sung, which could have threatened the player's career. Beto was also sent off after accumulating yellow cards due to a reckless tackle. These were clear fouls that football experts worldwide do not dispute.

Second, the match against Italy was not a case where one side was a unilateral victim; rather, it was a game where both teams exchanged extremely rough plays. It is true that the referee's failure to see Lee Chun-soo kicking the back of Maldini's head during a chaotic situation in the penalty box was an officiating error. However, Italy also committed serious fouls without being sent off, such as Christian Vieri breaking Kim Tae-young's nose with his elbow.

Third, Regarding Totti's dismissal, confirming with slow-motion replays shows that Song Chong-ug made a legitimate tackle by making contact with the ball first, not Totti's foot. The referee exercised his legitimate authority to issue a yellow card, judging that Totti had performed a simulation action (dive) to win a penalty kick. The disallowance of Damiano Tommasi's goal was also merely an offside error flagged by the assistant referee (linesman), not the main referee, and is absolutely not evidence of bribery. If South Korea had bribed the main referee, he would have ordered a retake of the penalty kick that South Korea missed in the 4th minute of the first half.

Even when numerous past wrongdoings were exposed during the investigation of the '2015 FIFA corruption scandal' that shocked the world, not a single piece of evidence emerged to suggest that South Korea bribed referees during the 2002 World Cup. Disguising and spreading the fake news of "bribery" without a single piece of clear evidence is an action that completely contradicts the facts.

Go search for the 2002 match videos on
YouTube. They capture it all—flawless ball
control, precise dribbling, fluid crosses,
relentless pressing, and runs full of fighting
spirit. Stop disparaging the players' blood,
sweat, and tears out of blind anti-Korean
sentiment, and try to broaden your perspective.
You'll realize that your narrow-minded view isn't the whole picture.

[💭 @euklbe]

But these days, when we play against the Japanese team, wow, I really think the gap has widened a lot now.

I watched the Japanese national team play this time too, and they were different. They inherently have good fundamentals, right? On top of that, their physical strength, tenacity, and things like that seem to be getting much better now. They have great stamina and run incredibly well.

They keep pressing high up the pitch, and they immediately figure out exactly what to do from there. But our country still hasn't resolved this technical issue.

When you look at the build-up, that's where we fall behind. Korean players lack the basic fundamentals, starting right from their ball touch.

The Japanese players perfectly trap the ball and pass it, and it's so natural, right? It doesn't look shaky at all. For us, it's shaky right from the moment we trap the ball.

When Japanese professional players do individual training after team practice, they practice passing. Touch, pass, touch, pass. They practice this.

But we just work out like crazy in the weight room. This is where the difference with the Japanese midfielders begins.

Right now in our country, is there any standout midfielder other than In-beom? But look at Japan, there are so many.

Having that many good midfielders basically means they know how to manage the game, and that there are many players who can build up and orchestrate the play.

Ultimately, this comes from a young age... It's not like you can do it just because someone tells you to when you get older. You can't just do it overnight. You have to keep practicing it repeatedly from a young age.

World Cup 'Tactical Void' Controversy: What Exactly Did the Manager and Backroom Staff Do?

There are Portuguese coaches serving as backroom staff for Manager Hong Myung-bo. Their primary role is to shore up our tactical shortcomings, but doubts are growing over what they’ve actually achieved so far and whether they’re truly on the same page as Manager Hong.

This is a scene where Portugal's Chief Assistant Coach João Aroso, standing next to Manager Hong, is giving instructions into a microphone. Manager Hong is also seen urgently exchanging views with Coaches Kim Jin-kyu and Kim Dong-jin.

During the hydration break after conceding a goal, Manager Hong is caught speaking heatedly. Lee Kang-in and Hwang In-beom are also seen saying something to the players, but the crucial window of opportunity had already passed.

Alongside Manager Hong, who earns an annual salary of 2 billion won, is a four-man Portuguese coaching staff. Their exact salaries are undisclosed, but they are understood to be substantial. They were brought in to address highlighted tactical flaws, but the staff who worked alongside him cannot escape responsibility for this either.

In fact, last March, Coach Aroso told the Portuguese media that South Korea's weak point was the left wing-back position. Yet, three months later, neither Manager Hong nor Coach Aroso has come up with a solution. The failure to make tactical adjustments even with a hydration break is highly disappointing.

Manager Hong Myung-bo’s staff consists of Chief Assistant and Tactical Coach João Aroso, Tactical Analysis Coach Tiago Maia, Goalkeeping Coach Pedro Roma, and Fitness Coach Nuno Matias. The backroom staff’s job isn't just to gather information, but to design strategies and drive their execution.

The manager, in turn, needs to actively embrace the data and analysis they provide. However, looking back at the group stage matches, one is left doubting whether that actually happened.

Please don't misunderstand. Aside from a
