A fervour was whipped up after the opening game as a couple of hundred Red Devils – a posse of Korean supporters and their two drummers – chanted, danced and sang in the park outside the stadium.

The ‘Red Devils’ is surprisingly popular nickname, both at club and international levels. Look forward to Korea v Belgium.
And strangely, Tim, up until a few weeks ago, Korea played in a blue strip… can you imagine the glee of the t-shirt manufacturers when they were told the colour was going to change?
“That’ll be ten million shirts at, um, W10000 a pop… oh sod it, it’s the World Cup, let’s make it W20000 for luck…”
I guess they had to distinguish themselves from the Japanese who also play in blue – and blonde, brunette, perm and highlights. Was it just my imagination or were there stylists instead of trainers sitting on the Japanese bench?
uhmm
