League Focus - K-League
I have to admit since coming back to Ukraine I've neglected the K-League, which I followed in Korea for 2 years. During the time there I made it to most FC Seoul matches and also managed to visit Seongnam and Daejon for games. The K-League is one of the most succesful leagues in Asia, relying on a steady flow of Korean players and Europeans. However, unlike some leagues the foreigners that are signed, for example Riccardo, who played for FC Seoul while I was there still seem to have a hunger for the game. Watching football in Korea is a much different experience to watching it in Europe. It's a bit of a family and popcorn event, although it's pretty easy to get beer in the stadium. There are also a lot of freebies on offer. For example, they often give ballooons and sweets to kids and programmes are free. I also have a badge to commemorate the game between FC Seoul and Suwon on 21 March 2007. Not a bad souvenir as FC Seoul beat their hated and more successful neighbours 4-1...
