It's interesting to get insight into the lives of the Korean nationals and their allegiance to sports teams. Reuters published some thoughts from <a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/reutersEdge/idUSTRE58O5JL20090925" rel="nofollow"> An Yong-hak's</a> perspective. Since they don't play again until the world cup in a neutral territory, I don't think the naval squawk will have a significant impact. But I would be prepared to look for propaganda leading up to the games with lots of mud slinging. Claims of poisoning attempts might weaken the opposition. I can't wait to see how it all unravels.

This is a particularly interesting sideline in Korean history and in soccer history. Thanks for telling us about it in such detail.
