After years of watching via TV, I finally got my first taste of live world class soccer. Manchester United is hands down the most popular team in Korea because of one man, Park Ji Sung. The midfielder is not only the most famous athlete, but arguably the most well known Korean period. Tickets sold out in a matter of hours, with people hoping to catch a glimpse of Park playing in a Man U jersey for the first time (He was injured the last time they came to Korea). About a week ago, I tried my luck purchasing tickets. Luckily, I contacted a Korean student through facebook who needed to sell 4 extra tickets, and bought them at face value! The game turned out to be one of the greatest sporting events I've ever attended.

박 지 성 didn't even start. That's how badass Man U is. The crowd erupted every time his face appeared on the big screen. He entered the game at 70 minutes. You can imagine the ovation he received. There's video at the bottom.
Final score: Man U 3: FC Seoul 2.
