font-size: 12pt;\">Regardless, a tie is not a loss, and the last thing I want to see is South Korea get bounced unceremoniously out of the group stage.\u00a0 In spite of monumental bias and criticism from global media outside of South Korea about how weak of a squad they should be, how they didn\u2019t score so much as it was Russia\u2019s goalkeeper fucking up, and how they probably won\u2019t make it out of the group stage; Korea\u2019s already put their stamp on the World Cup that they\u2019ve come to play, and if at least anything at all, had\u00a0<em>at least<\/em>\u00a0one moment of glory to bask in.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Lora; font-size: 12pt;\">Seriously though, are there many better feelings in the world, than what it looks like to score a goal in the World Cup?\u00a0 Goals in general are excruciatingly rare as it is in the game of soccer to begin with, but to score one for your home country, against the best squads in the world, on the grandest stage of them all, while somewhere around\u00a0<em>a billion people<\/em>\u00a0are watching in the stands and on television sets all across the\u00a0<em>entire planet<\/em>?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Lora; font-size: 12pt;\">I\u2019m pretty sure the reaction of falling to the ground and smiling\/laughing your face off is the most common after a goal scored, because for at least twenty seconds they have to know that the weight of quite literally, a massive chunk of the world\u2019s population is on top of them in some emotional fashion.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Lora; font-size: 12pt;\">It has to be seriously one of the greatest feelings in the world.\u00a0 They\u2019re incredible for me, and I\u2019m just some guy, watching or listening to the matches.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Lora;
