Will anger be the only thing left after this night... [Sports News]
Will there still be anger in the hearts of Korean soccer fans after this night?
Klinsmann and Hwang Sun-hong, who raised the fans' 'anger gauge' to the maximum with their breathtaking performances, will play back-to-back matches on the 12th.
First, Hwang's U-22 team will take on Myanmar at the Changwon Football Center in Gyeongnam at 8 p.m. in the third round of Asian Football Confederation (AFC) U-23 Asian Cup qualifying for the 2023 tournament.
The tournament is the first qualifier for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
Jürgen Klinsmann's A team will then take on Saudi Arabia at St. James' Park in Newcastle, England. Kickoff is at 1:30 a.m. ET on Sept. 13.
Once hailed as a legendary goalie, Hwang became a "worry" for South Korean soccer after taking over the reins of the Hangzhou Asian Games squad and the U-22 team that will compete at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Hwang's performance, which hasn't improved with each game, hit a "low point" against Qatar on Sept. 6, the first of three qualifying matches.
After a 'sparkle' in the first half, the team's lack of smooth passing in the midfield and shaky defense led to a 0-2 defeat.
In the second round, they managed a 1-0 win over Kyrgyzstan, but the scoreline was far from satisfactory given the objective difference in quality between the two teams.
Myanmar is considered an underdog in Asia. South Korea hasn't lost to Myanmar since the 1970s at any age group, including the A team.
If Hwang Sun-hong doesn't post a cool, multi-goal victory this time around, fan sentiment will be even worse.
Beyond the "deterioration of public opinion," Klinsmann is now facing "dismissal" after only half a year in charge.
Not only has the team won only five games (three draws and two losses) since his appointment, but there are also criticisms of his attitude toward his position as the "top commander of Korean football.
He has caused controversy with his frequent 'outings' and 'vacations', and this time he has caused a 'taskmaster controversy'.
He turned the Korean soccer world upside down when he was named to the roster for the Legends Match between Chelsea (England) and Bayern Munich (Germany) during the A-Match.
It's unprecedented for a head coach to take a personal schedule during an away A-match.
Luckily, Klinsmann didn't attend the event, but the fact that he was named to the roster at a time when the team was at its lowest point was enough to anger fans.
The KFA has been criticized for its lack of control over its 'employee', Klinsmann.
The only thing that can drown out all this noise is a win against Saudi Arabia.
However, with a recent five-game losing streak and the change of coach to world-renowned Roberto Mancini, the Saudis are unlikely to go easy on the South Koreans. 슬롯

LG explodes for 3 home runs with two outs in 12th [Sports News]
The league-leading LG Twins, looking to win their first regular season title in 29 years and the Korean Series, swept the second-place SSG Landers in a 12-inning thriller.
LG hit three home runs in the bottom of the 12th inning to defeat visiting SSG of the 2023 Shinhan Bank SOL KBO League 8-4 in extra innings at SSG Landers Field in Incheon on Monday.
With the win, LG extended its lead over second-place SSG to eight games with 42 games remaining in the regular season.
SSG has lost four straight games.
SSG set the tone until the middle of the game.
Choi Ju-hwan hit his 17th three-run homer of the season off LG starter Choi Won-tae in the fourth inning, and Kang Jin-sung's sacrifice fly in the sixth made it an easy game.
However, in the seventh inning, LG was hit hard and gave up the tying run.
In particular, on Austin Dean's single to right field with runners on first and second with a 4-2 lead, SSG right fielder Han Yoo-seom made a fatal mistake, spilling the slow-rolling ball behind him.
Heading into extra innings, the game remained scoreless until the 11th, when LG showed how scary "one out" can be in the 12th.
With two outs and no runners on base, Moon Bo-kyung took advantage of Choi Min-joon's errant throw and launched a solo shot over the right field wall.
It didn't stop there, as Moon Sung-joo singled and Jung Joo-hyun followed with a two-run homer, and after a pitching change to Lee Iwoon, Kim Min-sung again drew an arch in the Incheon night sky.
The back-to-back home runs by Jung Ju-hyun and Kim Min-sung were the team's first this season.
SSG's leadoff hitter, Choo Shin-soo, reached on a bunt in the bottom of the 12th inning, but was stranded at second base.
In the nightcap, the Hanwha Eagles rode the bat of No. 4 hitter Chae Eun-sung to an 11-6 victory over KT WIZ, ending the latter's bid for a sixth straight win.
After falling behind 0-1 in the second inning on an infield grounder by Lee Do-yoon and an RBI single by Nick Williams, Hanwha scored six runs in the fourth inning to take control of the game.
After falling behind again in the fourth inning, Hanwha pulled within one run on Moon Hyun-bin's sacrifice fly with the bases loaded and then took a 5-4 lead on Noh Si-hwan's RBI double with one out.
Chae then crushed a fastball outside the zone from reliever Lee Chae-ho for a three-run home run to extend the lead to 8-4. It was Chae's 15th home run of the season.
Chae added another RBI in the bottom of the eighth inning, when she singled through the left side of the infield to cut the deficit to 10-6, giving her four RBIs on the day.
Hanwha starter Moon Dong-joo got some help from his offense to pick up his eighth win of the season after giving up four runs (three earned) on six hits (one home run) on 95 pitches with three walks and two strikeouts in five innings.
KT got a two-run homer from Oh Yoon-seok in the fourth inning and a one-run homer from Jang Jun-won in the sixth inning, but it didn't matter.
KT's Park Byung-ho came in as a pinch-hitter in the eighth inning and hit his 10th home run of the season, giving him double-digit home runs for the 13th time in his career and 11th straight season.
In Daegu, the Samsung Lions became the first team in the KBO to reach 5,100 home runs in a 12-2 victory over the KIA Tigers.
The Lions, who were 2-8 against Kia before the game, overcame their "tiger phobia" with some hot hitting.
Samsung opened the scoring in the fourth inning with Koo's seventh home run of the season.
Jose Pirela followed with an RBI double to shake off KIA starter Yoon Young-chul.
In the fifth inning, they scored seven runs in a row to extend their lead to 9-0.
With runners on first and second, Pirela hit his 11th three-run home run of the season to make it 8-0.
With the home run, Samsung reached the 5,100-homer milestone for the first time in 42 seasons, dating back to 1982, its first year as a professional organization.
Samsung added RBI singles from Kim Dong-yeop and Kang Min-ho in the seventh inning to make it 12-2.
Koo, who leads the league in batting average, raised his average to .343 with a 2-for-4 performance with a home run and three RBIs.
Pirela also had her second four-hit game of the season.
Samsung starter Taylor Widener pitched six innings of five-hit ball on 104 pitches with seven strikeouts to earn his first win in two games since joining Samsung.
In Gocheok, the Kiwoom Heroes snapped a two-game losing streak with a 5-4 victory over Lotte, led by a come-from-behind three-run homer by "transfer student" Lee Ju-hyung.
Trailing 2-4 after allowing a run-scoring single to Jeon Jun-woo in the top of the eighth inning, Kiwoom turned the game around with a single by Lee Ju-hyung in the bottom of the inning.
With runners on first and second after leadoff hitter Song Sung-moon singled and Joo Sung-won drew a walk against Lotte's third pitcher Han Hyun-hee, Lee stepped to the plate and pulled a low fastball from Han over the right field wall.
It was the third time this month that Lee had sent a ball over the fence since joining LG in 2020 and moving to Kiwoom, having hit his first professional home run against LG on March 3.
Kiwoom closer Lim Chang-min, who pitched the ninth inning, had runners on first and second with no outs, but he got Yoon Dong-hee to fly out and Kim Min-seok to ground into an infield single to preserve the win.
For Lotte, starter Charlie Barnes gave up two runs (one earned) on seven hits with five strikeouts in six innings, and veterans Ahn Chi-hong and Jeon Jun-woo each had solo efforts, but the team was unable to smile in the loss.
Lotte, which would have clinched a share of first place with a win, saw its four-game winning streak end with a single home run.
The game between the Doosan Bears and NC Dinos, which was scheduled to take place at Jamsil Stadium, was canceled due to rain showers just before kickoff. 토토사이트
