-2006 Germany World Cup-

We have really waited for the World Cup!

When I was 16 years old, Korea and Japan held the World Cup together. At that time, all people really were excited and got wild with enthusiasm. So many teenagers and young people went to the World Cup stadium and Kwang Hwa Moon and Seoul City Hall, wearing the Red T-shirts. I also went to the Seoul City Hall. And I was very surprised at the cheering all around the streets near Seoul City Hall, Kwang Hwa Moon and Myeongdong. All people cheered the Korean National Football Team, shouting "Dae~ Han Min Kook". I could nerver forget the days. Due to our cheering, the Korean national football team went up to the semi-final. We were very proud of them and all people in the world were very shocked and surprised. 

 And now, The World Cup held in Germany on June 9th. Maybe all people in the world were looking forward to watching the big matches in the World Cup. We also really wanted to watch them and wished the Korean National Football team to get a great record.

 The Korean National Football team had the first match with the Togo national football team in Frankfort stadium on June 13th. As we know, the Center Foward, Adebayor in the Togo national football team is a important member in Arsenal, England Primmer League team. He is very tall and has wonderful and flexible dribble skills. So the Korean national football team must defend him very toughly. But the Togo national football team has a weak point on their defense position. So Jo Jaejin, Lee Shunsoo and Park Jisung have to break through them and get a goal.

 Before 5 hours when the match begins, people gathered at the Seoul City Hall and Kwang Hwa Moon. I went to the Sang Am World Cup Stadium with my friends at 5:30 p.m. Although we needed to wait even for 5 hours, many people came there and cheered the Korean national football team. Some people took drums and 꽹과리. Others came there with their children who were so cute and very active. I also weared the red T-shirts and the red band that looked like the horns of the devil around my  head. And I was ready to cheer my team.

 Before 2 hours of the match, an event held by MBC started. In the program, many singers, like Seven, Lim Hyungju, Yoon Dohyun and Buzz sang the cheer songs and all people were excited.

 After 1 hours, all seats were full of people. And everybody shouted 'Dae~Han Min Kook'. The "red" sights were so wonderful and I could know our victory at that time.

 At last, at 10:00 p.m. the match started. All people cheered the Korean national football team, watching the large screens on the wall. Sometimes they were disappointed when Lee Chunsoo kicked the ball and failed to get a goal. But they didn't give up to cheer our team.

 However, our dreams were broken when the Togo got the first goal in the game. It was a mistake of our defense players. We were very disappointed and feared the loss of the Korean national football team. And the first half of the game finished like that.

 We really hoped the Korean national football team to win the game. And everyone didn't throw out our dreams and cheered our team. After 15 minutes, the second half of the game started. And we concentrated on the game.

 From this time, the miracle began to happen. Lee Chunsoo finally got a goal by free kick past 9 minutes of the second half. We were very surprised and shouted for this miracle shooting. Next the goal, the Korean national football team attacked the Togo national football team very intensely. And An Junghwan got the second goal of the Korean national football team by middle distance shooting. It was fantastic. At that time all people in Korea must have been enthusiastic. Some people even cried.

 After 10 minutes, the game was finished. In the end, the Korean national football team won the game. It was the priceless victory and we proved that playing inthe semifinals in 2002 World Cup was not accidental. We are very proud of all players of the Korean national football team.
