Korea will grow larger.

When they're not sitting around playing Starcraft, they're causing trouble for Australia. That's right I'm talking about Korea. Seongnam Chunma, the pinnacle of Korean football has given the nation something to talk about after beating Melbourne in a game with a fair few talking points.

Seongnam Chunma defenders had a quality game, no slip ups, good strong tackles, yada yada but in all fairness they were playing a team that were still in bed. 48 hours after an exhausting semi final against Sydney, poor little Melbourne were expected to keep their Asian Champions League hopes alive by at least taking a point against Seongnam Chunma.
Their finishing was poor at best, they made numerous mistakes and who can blame them? Two games in such a short space of time is madness.

To add to the occasion the pitch was in a bad shape. Yun Young-Sun grabs the ball in the midfield, beats Nick Ward, looses his footing in a sand pit and plummets head first into the dirt. Fairly funny yes but it's not great for the player. Every time something good looked about to happen the ball would bobble and go mental.

Meanwhile in other news: Liverpool managed to dent their ambitions of a top four finish with a 1-0 loss to the almighty Wigan.
