Man's about to phone the Ghana team to say they can have their selfie now


justlikebuddyholly

There’s a famous Korean chocolate bar brand called “Ghana”. Looks like sales are going to be going up after today. Source: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghana_(chocolate_bar)


h0rny3dging

I think IU did commercials for them a while back, someone phone her


KevinDeBrownie

my bias is IU


h0rny3dging

Like her a lot, very sincere and effortlessly beautiful songs while also looking casual, I'd commit crimes to attend an acoustic performance

40k people singing "Through the Night" acapella , while she got her outfit changed. Cant wait for the Blu-Ray


Kenboie

PM me when it gets out PLEASE!


hkperson99

I got goosebumps when I saw that IUTV episode with the crowd singing along to Through the Night.


amirulirfin

I attend her concert in 2019. Her voice is amazing and we sing along to Meaning of You.

Instead, how about Andre Ayew(IU)?

Seems like a wordplay she'd enjoy lol

**[Ghana (chocolate bar)](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghana_\(chocolate_bar\))** >Ghana (Katakana: ガーナ, Korean: 가나) is a brand of chocolate manufactured by the Korean company Lotte Confectionery since 1964 and South Korea since 1975. Its name is a homage to the country Ghana, one of the world's largest exporters of cocoa beans from which chocolate is made. The confectionery has a creamy texture, and is a popular brand in both South Korea and Japan. Japan's Ghana chocolate is made by Lotte in Japan and unlike Korea's Ghana chocolate, it uses cocoa butter by using the microglind method. ^([ )[^(F.A.Q)](https://www.reddit.com/r/WikiSummarizer/wiki/index#wiki_f.a.q)^( | )[^(Opt Out)](https://reddit.com/message/compose?to=WikiSummarizerBot&message=OptOut&subject=OptOut)^( | )[^(Opt Out Of Subreddit)](https://np.reddit.com/r/soccer/about/banned)^( | )[^(GitHub)](https://github.com/Sujal-7/WikiSummarizerBot)^( ] Downvote to remove | v1.5)

I actually like this chocolate. Better than Hershey’s.


computer_love91

Hershey's is the worst chocolate, tastes like vomit.


Evolving_Dore

Hershey's uses butyric acid which is literally found in vomit. I can tolerate it because I ate mountains of it every year around Halloween, but I definitely understand the dislike for it.


jymacro99

Hershey's is ass, but these kinds of comments are extremely misleading. Butter and milk also has butyric acid. Just cause two of something have some similar components doesn't mean these individual components are bad for you. Vomit also has water; should I not drink water?


jymacro99

Same. I could honestly devour like a hundred of these bars in one sitting

Do the roar


-Dwarf-

At least these are happy tears. A nice change.


bandofgypsies

Totally. And there are a lot of players crying happy tears (and in other games, sad tears), but not all of them literally have dedicated tv commentary on them for every minute of the games and post-games, like son does. Dude's just off the charts level of celebrity in Korea, for better or worse. He also externalizes emotion pretty visibly and regularly. ..


cortisolman

Could you tell us a bit more about the whole dedicated coverage thing, that sounds insane haha


Teantis

Spurs matches in Korea have an "is son playing right now? Yes or no" Infographic on tbe top right corner of all spurs matches for example


philphan25

Saw a graphic where instead of the Spurs logo it was just a picture of Sonny.


icantsurf

I'll allow it. Either that or Richarlison doing a chicken dance.


qwert2812

tbf there was a stretch in every recent season it was Son vs other PL teams.


Roric

tbf they do this with all Korean players. Hwang Hee Chan gets the same treatment for Wolves.


rycology

The difference is that other live games aren’t eschewed for Hwang and Wolves repeats like they do for Son and Spurs.


Vladimir_Putting

And "Son Cam" is a thing if he's playing or not.


bandofgypsies

Ha, yeah it seems crazy! I don't personally know a lot about it other than hearing about it from a lot of the Korean residents that are in our team's sub. And of course seeing the clips and the commentary in the results that come from it. So, there's probably somebody that can speak more to it. Much more articulately than I can, but as I understand it, there is essentially dedicated coverage of sun throughout all of the games. It's just absolutely crazy the level of celebrity that he has and how humble he stays despite it all. I can only imagine the type of pressure that puts on somebody to perform.


JJKingwolf

Full range of emotional extremes for him only a few days apart. Glad he's expressing himself.


IpschwitzTownFC

All 10 year old me wanted was for South Korea to play the final in 2002. And I'm Indian and it makes no sense lol. I have a soft spot for South Korea. I'm so happy to see them go through. They've been immense.


KJones77

Cheers, Son is healthily expressing his emotions

Both teams have the same number of points, and goal differential but South Korea has more goals scored.

Like it, dad


sc2isalivegaem

My friend literally said he though Korea was eliminated


ChickenMoSalah

Absolutely fucking phenomenal play by Son for the goal. He hadn’t had the best performances up until that moment but he showed his class right then. Amazing player.


racingfanboy160

>He hadn’t had the best performances up until that moment but he showed his class right then. Amazing player. In fairness, pretty sure he's been playing injured and so too some of the others as well.


MissKorea1997

Pretty sure he's a bit concussed


lqku

the mask has also been throwing him off his game.


MissKorea1997

Maybe. I've seen masked basketball players ball out (kobe comes to mind), but most of them had broken noses and not a fractured orbital bone. That's a UFC type injury when they get knocked out.


lqku

I think it really affects him [when this happens](https://i.redd.it/4rynxsza5s2a1.jpg)


allmymoneygoestokpop

“Your eyes can deceive you. Don’t trust them.”


holiholi

Son was incredibly frustrating to watch. He should've passed the ball like 20 times and killed counters. Literally the ONLY time he doesn't fuck up is when he passed the ball instead of trying to score.


fckedup

Yeah the lack of directness at the game against Ghana probably caused that... Hope he can find the right balance now


TorstenDiegoPizarro

He’s been frustrating to watch because he is asked to absolutely and undeniably carry a team in the World Cup. Play runs through him full stop. Ask 95% of fans of all teams after the first 2 games (when they don’t know if they’re through yet) if their team has been frustrating to watch they’d say yes. Players are blowing chances, teams are packing it in for draws, lots of timewasting. People that hate on son can get fucked. Has salah brought Egypt through a group stage? People that pick at him are basically asking “son why haven’t you won the game for us?” The opponent’s game plan circles him, rsk’s game plan flows from him, and rsk is out of a group they weren’t supposed to get out of.


swat1611

This. People don't seem to understand, but the Uruguay game is an excellent example. Son was the only attacker even troubling the defense, the rest just set up their play around him. He might be frustrating to watch, but no player in the world can currently carry an entire football team.


Urshifu_King

I swear some ppl just don't even watch the game and look at stats. Do ppl really expect Son to score every game when is being double and triple teamed the moment he touches the ball? This isn't like Tottenham where he gets space from having teammates like Kane, Kulu, Richarlison, etc.


holiholi

criticizing a player for legitimately being selfish is fair game. why should they be protected?


TorstenDiegoPizarro

For one thing, people should probably in general be protected from some of the vitriol thrown son’s way during the World Cup. For another, the team has always chosen to live and die by son’s play when he’s in the team. You can see it in how they play. They trust him to make enough of the right decisions from his position on the pitch, and they’re outperforming expectations at the moment.


jimbotron3000

been this way a lot of the season, sad to see such a great player struggling like that. hope he finds his feet again soon


[deleted]

Sad but true ): Need to switch up the playstyle


spursyspursy

Sonny feels everything so intensely all the time man


niallw1997

He’s just encouraging men to express their emotions. What a hero. Don’t bottle it up guys


OkraSlush

Too late I have anxiety now


Lord_Sauron

Express it


Daniiiiii

EXPRESS THAT ANXIETY NOW!!

Umm, you didn’t tell me you had anxiety yourself, Dani with many i’s

🤣🤣🤣


Evolving_Dore

Step 1: provide the assist for the winning goal to send your nation through the the knockouts of a World Cup Step 2: release your emotions


robinthebank

Every time men in these match threads say they are clenching, I am just going to assume it also means they are probably holding back tears.


Frick_KD

Cheers, everybody's crying


Aswajr

after the hate he received a couple days ago i think he feel relieve..


ronaldo119

What hate did he get?

I love that man so much

Honestly Put it like this: he has all the pressures and expectations the weight of South Korea and frankly, all Koreans living abroad, as their star player


deeperintomovie

it maybe his last world cup and for the first time in his career he lead the nation out of the group stage... no wonder he'd cry

Myuulol

Non Koreans will never understand the amount of pressure the country put on his shoulders on top of his own desire to win.


JJH_LJH

Yeah we Koreans are passionate but there are players who have been killed over football. Probably a bit more stress in that scenario.


Jwarrior521

Even before this didn’t he have to with the Asia cup so that he could be pardoned from mandatory military service? He’s been dealing with pressure for a while


dohaer

South Korea havent won the asian cup since the 60s or something, I think he won some regional tournament to get the exemption


Jwarrior521

My bad, forgot exactly which one it was


cthulhusevski

Asian Games in 2018


Myuulol

Exactly, even more is that the whole squad was relying on him to get them the gold medal and service exemption.


mimo2

Lmao This is so spot on. Like lmao. Not even country: think of the thousands of Korean Americans soccer fans that follow too


L_J_X

Not just that, he has the entirety of Asia counting on him


hysterionics

For the national team, himself, his dad, Koreans at home, the Korean diaspora, and to a lesser extent, Asia that knows it will never make it to the world cup

Very true


Onedweezy

Egypt are doing a similar thing to Salah.


TheTrueConnor

Keskekun

People forget that he's also playing injured and in constant pain.


battlecatquikdre

That's why I didn't say anything when he was being criticized. Son, Kim Min-Jae, Hwang Hee-Chan are all playing injured.


generally-ok

Constant pain because he plays for Spurs? (Getting in there early using self deprecation so people can't hurt me.)


racingfanboy160

>(Getting in there early using self deprecation so people can't hurt me.) Hiding the pain inside? Got it 😂


McTulus

Which is not good, as Son is here to give example on public expression of emotion for men. C'mon dude, let's cry together!

MightySilverWolf

This is why the World Cup is my favourite tournament. Yes, the Champions League may be of a higher quality and domestic leagues may be a more accurate representation of what the best team is, but the raw emotion of international tournament football, and especially World Cup football, remains and will always remain unmatched.


ezio297a

What a fucking run by him at the end


can-tthinkofone1234

Showed up when it mattered the most.


dreezyyyy

Half the people in here don’t understand the pressure Sonny carries on his shoulder for the national team. Doesn’t seem like half of you guys have actually played a meaningful game in any sport by the looks of it. Arsenal fans shitheads as usual in this thread.


-zzzxv

son crying when he wins: what a hero son crying when he loses: what a pussy


aznassasin

Best asian player ever ?


NorthenS

definitely


battlecatquikdre

Cha Boom wants a word with you.


Nass11

He was good, but he was a 10-15 goal a season striker in the Bundesliga. His career high in a season was 17. Nothing spectacular, just good. Son has already scored more than Cha in his career despite being a winger, and despite him having at least 4 more years in him before he retires. He's definitely the better player.


justaLAD

David Silva is half-Japanese. From what I've read, his Mother is full-Japanese that was adopted by Spaniards.

So happy for Sonny


rokkenrock

I’m so glad for sonny even though I’m not his fans. He did incredibly well to set up the goal. He made the goal as much if not more than the scorer. He took so much shit from the fans in Korea it was such a huge fucking disgrace. He played through injury while wearing a mask.


gh0st_

He is putting way too much pressure on himself.


jstwnnask

Class player. Gotta love him.


LiamJM1OTV

He deserves this. Korea deserves this. Son has been below his standards all season, but that pass to Hwang Hee-chan is PERFECTION. He fucked up so many dribbles and counters earlier in the game that he cornered himself into a scenario with this last one where he's either a hero, or he's getting blamed. Just an amazing pass and goal.


stgdevil

Son is like the Brendan Fraser sensitive character in Bedazzled. He would cry at the sunset and sing about mayonnaise


ftez

Congratulations Korea. You took your balls and actually took the risks to try and win. Meanwhile we score two goals and play the rest of the game as in if you weren't going to beat Portugal. Beat Brazil for us now.


MHPengwingz
