Great football, great drama. Superb plays, Japan 2-1 but still pushing in the end. South Korea gathered and scrapted one in the end.
Kawashima did the rest for Japan.

Honda is a fantastic player, his passes are magic always in the right tempo, very sharp.

Japan really impressed me during the World Cup and seems to capitalize on it. The final should be very exciting between 2 teams playing forward. Nice!

What an exciting match between two bitter rivals.... South korea did so well to force penalties but completely lost the plot.

The ref should be suspended though for two of the softest penalty calls i've ever seen!

Great game very exciting

Wtg japan! But that pen shout was ridiculous! Lol. Good luck in the final

Both teams were awesome.... Epic game!

They are giving free penalties all over the places damnn!

First, I'd say that these two teams had a VERY genorous referee. They were very equal in most aspects of the game, and that the two goalkeepers (although some ignorant fags can disagree), did an excellent job. I'm a korean myself and I praise the two teams for giving us a quality match. I am curious though, for korea, as to why the coach gave the PK's to the newbies. I bet the newbies had tremendous pressure, and it would have been wiser to give it to more experienced chaps like J. S Park or at least Ki, whose had international experience. But all in all, great game, and good luck to japan for the final (This is coming from a korean >

Where was Ji Sung Park and Lee Chung-Yong for the spot kicks?

Really enjoyed the highlights, cos this was a great match with
2 teams that have close quality.
Honda played well, but did not see Ji Sung Park play...

I think Japan deserved this win, they dominated the game but the first penalty messed them up

How come it says 3-0? Should be 3-2 right?

I don't get it why the south korean coach didn't send experienced players to take the penalties, one who missed from korea it was his first international game, anyway since the world cup japan have maintained their form in international games, the final is gonna' be great.... Australia vs japan.... Both teams deserve to win so i'll be happy whoever wins...

Gud game.... Gud 2 see Park coming home a bit earlier...

Good game ROK, hope you guys come back in the next Asian cup and win it!    Cheers from your friends, PRC
