Live K-League Football

[Norman_Conquest]

The BBC are streaming the opening game of the South Korean K-League from 10:50 BST on Friday 8 May. Jeonbuk Motors, who have a 41 year old Lee Dong-Gook (he was poor 2007) in their squad are playing Suwon Bluewings.

I think I will be giving it miss.

Apologies if this was posted earlier.

I posted earlier about the us networks screening Korean baseball to fill the void left by the mlb and wondered if we would show Korean football in a similar way.

hmm looks like they are then.

For the baseball they had a random team selector to help you pick a side to follow

Doosan Bears were my team when I lived in Seoul. They play right next door to the Olympic stadium which was about half an hour's walk from my flat.

Didn’t Doosan buy out Babcock’s?

I think they did.

I have done, loads of times. :).

I watched him play for Jeonbuk about thirty times live and he was a lot better player than his post-injury spell at the Boro suggested. I watched the game today and it was good to see him do well. I like the fake crowd noise too.
