KOREA v.s. HONGKONG

Last Sunday, there was a soccer match (real professional players). It was the Asian Cup; and there were four teams which were South Korea, Japan, China, and Hong Kong. It was held in Tokyo, Japan, and the first match for South Korea was against Hong Kong. This Cup was held just to get ready for the World Cup in South Africa which will be on June of 2010.

I was playing game in my computer myself, then my dad called me and said that there is going to be a soccer match. I ran to the T.V. and was so excited. We knew that Hong Kong was a weak team, so I was sure we were going to beat them. The match started. After 10 minutes passed, South Korea scored a header goal. The scorer was the South Korean captain. I was so happy so I was jumping from up to down. Well, we scored another goal in 15 minutes. I jumped up to down and we scored by a turning shot. 2:0 already after 15 minutes. I was so proud of South Korea. Then, after 30 minutes, we scored another goal! The scorer was Lee-Dong-Guk and he was the best player in the team. He haven't scored a goal for so long but he scored a fabulous header goal in this match! Again, I jumped. 3:0! Just before the half time, we scored another goal, AN AWESOME GOAL! The whistle blew! The half time. Then, the second half was BORING. We didn't score any goals until.... the last minute! We scored at the 92nd minute. And, the whistle blew. Final score was 5:0. And the Korean goalkeeper touched the ball only a few times.

Extra INFO - 1. China played with Japan and they had a tie.
2. We are playing against China today in Japan.
