Looks like they couldn't get a European base for a training camp and they're going to LA (I think) instead... trying to line up a game against the US national team as well as a couple of matches against MLS sides.

Coolio. Any idea on the dates of the camp? Hope its after I'm back in LA! LA now has 2 MLS teams after Chivas (Regal  ) USA were included in the league along with Real Salt Lake (STOOPID NAME!!!) I assume the Koreans could play 3 games at the Home Depot Centre or even a game in the Rose Bowl. That'd be good and probably bve guaranteed a big crowd too. |

Right, Korea depart for LA on the 7th January and come back on the 28th.
As well as a game against the USA, I think they're lining up a friendly against a South American or Central American team - Mexico?

Someone on Big Soccer reckons the international friendly dates are:
16/01/05: Costa Rica
22/01/05: USA
26/01/05: Colombia
Obviously it's K-League only as the European sides probably won't let any of their players head off for a month
So that gives them a week to acclimatise, nip off to Universal Studios, and have tea with Hong Myung-bo before getting on with the football and then coming home.

That would be pretty cool. I imagine I COULD go to all the games if they are all in the HDC although whether I will WANT to is another question. Whether I can AFFORD to is question 3  Maybe they'll draft HMB back into the squad for a farewell? |

University strikers in the National team?  There is apparently no K-League striker worth playing then? |

Several Koreans now playing for European clubs never bothered with the K-League, going straight to Europe from their uni clubs. Cha Du-ri is one example, if I'm not mistaken.
Good on the gaffer for having confidence in some youth, and including alongside some of the older gits.

Yep, I think these are the game dates:
15th Jan: Colombia
18th Jan: Paraguay
22nd Jan: Sweden
I believe all games are being played at the Home Depot Centre and that's where they'll be doing their training on non-match days.

That's only two questions. Can I go? Do I want to go? Can I afford to go? Thats 3 questions! Although I suppose technically one was an answer but the question was implied. |

Thanks for clearing that up. You know how I get confused so easily.
So who's playing in the K-League final this year guys?
