As much as I love Korea and being here, and had fun crying with them after losing to Ghana and crying with them after beating Portugal, I was actually supporting them because I'd rather not see us crumble before anyone else but them. What a fantastic bunch they are.
However, wow. Every single one of the 50 shades of wow. Wow left, right, centre, and all over the kitchen sink. I was a bit cautious after our loss to Cameroon, and was torn about staying up until 4 AM to watch what could've been an uneventful game, but letting our players rest so they could lay the smackdown later on was well worth it. I know it's easy to underestimate South Korea, as this was their 3rd best result ever in a World Cup, and only twice in World Cup knockout stage history did a team fall behind with a 4 goal difference before the end of the first half (coincidentally, we were there both times, albeit in very different situations). Mistakes were made by the South Korean side, but shouldn't have been so lopsided. Also, thanks to Japan, Croatia had a much tougher nut to crack, so we're probably facing a much more tired team in the next round. What matters is that we're back to the quarterfinals, ALL HAIL THE PIGEON!

Yeah, it's a non-ending cycle: every tournament, I promise I won't ever support Japan, but when they reach the round of 16, I'm like... could this be it? And, no, it can't ever be it
