Korean Football, FC Seoul style


FC Seoul play in the World Cup Stadium. It holds around 67,000 fans and is pretty much perfection in terms of space, transport, consumables and atmosphere. I descended upon a home game for FC Seoul last week. It was an overcast day and the mood was set for a must win game. FC Seoul are sitting in no mans land in the league. They have had an on/off season and find themselves now struggling to make amends. This game had been tagged as a must win. Their opponents sat 3 places above them. To cut a long story short, FC Seoul took the game 3.0, even with just 10 for 35 mins.
The most thrilling part of the evening was this. The half time whistle had gone and everyone’s focus was on the large screens at either end of the pitch. A short VT was played of a loving couple. The Video was pretty basic, just made up of a poem and a few stills. We then cut back to the stadium and we have a live close up off the loving couple. Seconds later Mr. Loving Couple is on his hands and knees and is proposing. She looks shocked, bursts into tears and I assume says Yes!!! But then for about 5 minutes they were being interviewed and her face kind of went stale. I think the realisation of it all had started to sink in….. My prediction is that she will be looking elsewhere…… The Picture is the ‘happy’ moment.!!
