K-League FA CUP 2006 FC Seoul vs Suwon Bluewings
FA CUP QuarterfinalsFC Seoul vs Suwon Bluewingsat Sangam World Cup StadiumFC Seoul, aka Pae-ryoon (immoral, unethical), is unarguably the most hated football club in the K-League. They have been dubbed as Pae-ryoon because its predecessor, Anyang LG, have gone against the League's ideals of "localism," in which the political, economical, cultural ties with its local area is heavily stressed. In 2004, LG corporation formally announced to relocate the club to Seoul and this created an outrage among not only the supporters of Anyang, or "The Reds," but among the Red Devils and the rest of league fans as well. The club and the supporters defend their stance by claiming it as an unevitable move poised with capitalistic aims, but most believe that it was an unethical decision, and some even argue that the decision to relocate created a climate of distrust between the club and its most loyal investors -- the fans. Additionally, the critics of the club have argued that the relocation could act as a precedent. Unfortunately, Bucheon SK, in 2005, have decided to follow this precedent by moving the club from Bucheon to the southern sub-tropical island of Jeju, renaming the team to "Jeju United FC," and quickly earned the nickname of "South Pae-ryoon" while FC Seoul became "North Pae-ryoon." Although FC Seoul holds the record of the highest attendance of the K-League***, hitting the 55,000 milestone, both teams have been unsuccessful in reaching out to a more consistent fan base. Evaulating the success of their business decision is yet to be fulfilled.*** - The game was played against Suwon Bluewings, undoubtedly the most supported club in the country.

wow, what? a racist sob! Clearly, Obama's not clean and articulate, and Indian people never work at 7-11's. He's obviously a Klansman to spew such venom!

Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man.
Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded - here and there, now and then -
are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised,
often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people.
Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens)
is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.

This is known as 'bad luck.'

Progress doesn't come from early risers, progress is made
by lazy men looking for easier ways to do things.
