The FIFA World Cup Finals is one of world's biggest parties. The whole world is enthusiastic over it. I have an interest in my country, South Korea. South Korea has a population of 48,508,972 ('09) and an area of 99,268 sq km. It is on a narrow peninsula, and there are a lot of people and tall buildings. Especially crowded is the capital city of Seoul. There are a lot of tourist attractions. These include Seoul Tower, Namdaemun Market, Lotte World, etc. Most things are located in Seoul. Seoul has a lot of sightseeing destinations. If you visit , you will have a good time there. I miss Seoul, Korea.
Long ago, Koreans were very concerned with soccer games, but the results were usually not good. A big chance occurred in the 2002 FIFA World Cup. Our team made the 16 top teams and was ranked fourth in the world. Koreans cheered enthusiastically in their wearing red T-shirts. The logo on their T-shirts was "Red Devils". So the cheeleaders was called "Red Devils". The "Red Devils" will also play an important role in this 2010 FIFA World Cup.
Last Saturday, our players played their first game against Greece. They scored 2 goals, one goal in the first half by JungSu Lee and one goal in second half by Jisung Park. So our country beat Greece by a score of 2-0. Our goalkeeper, SungYoung Jung, did very well on his debut. Another excellent player was Jisung Park. He is the best soccer player for Korea and is also called ''a soccer genius''. He belongs to Manchester United (in England) now. As expected, he didn't disappoint us in this game. His goal drove my family wild. I expect to have more good results in the coming games. "Keep fighting, Korea!"
