8강으로 가는길이 보이기 시작한다.

유롭의 강호를 맞아 전반에 득점없이 끝났으나  후반에 적시선제골을
공격의 핵인 wild card player 박주영선수의 골에다 김보경의 천금같은
골로 승기를 얻어서 끝까지 더이상 실점없이 이긴 우리 젊은 선수들이
자랑 스럽다. 규정

From Olypic Games to Golf...and More to Soccer.

Again,
Ah`
Dae~han
Min~guk.

I'm proud of you,
even before these glories you bring to our eyes.
And will be For Ever after games over.

박주영 선수는 병역 문제로 말이 많았었고 유별나게 스위스팀과의
악연이 있었는데 이번골로 그런 징크스를 완전이 없앤셈이고
앞으로의 경기에 자신감을 줄것으로 생각합니다.

박지성의 공격력을 우리가 필요로 하니까요.   규정

During my "climbing days," I was in Switzerland a few times.
Then (about 1980s), I noticed a lot of racial discrimination by the Swiss people.
As a passing-by tourist, one can not feel this very well unless you live with them closely.

Those bad and arrogant guys were generally from the German origin.
(There are three racial groups in Switzerland, German, French, and Italian, depending on the locations.)
This was especially noticeable among the German speaking mountain guides.
At that time, Swiss was overran by Asian tourists especially Japanese.
They hated Japanese even though they were in the receiving end of the tips from the Japanese.
(French and Italians tend to be grateful on tipping but Germans are not !!)
It was the era, just at the end of Japanese abundance and just before the wave of Korean tourists.
They called me, "Hey, Jappy...." (thinking that I was a Japanese.)
Europe is still quite behind in this civil right deal and racial relationships
even though they are extremely proud of their cultural heritage (more than is necessary).

Generally, the Swiss people are gentlemanly and very much composed to the foreigners.
However, you can never tell what they are really thinking about you.
As civilized people, there must be a lot of artificial manners.

Anyway, without any doubt, there are still a bunch of idiots in any nation !!

The "Michel" could mean German origin, if my guess is correct,
while Morganella may be non-specific (but does the small "Morgan" sound like a German?).

The Swiss chief, Gian Gilli (See... Gilli is an Italian name) is an educated gentleman.
He saved the face of Switzerland in this scandal.

Thank you for enlightening me on the people of Switzerland.
Now I can understand how could this happen, which surprised me.

It wasn't long ago when many people in midwest of America used to make me
feel the discrimination towards Asiatics. Nowadays we Asiatics feel much more comfortable
around here.
You can't help feeling sympathetic towards the blacks and the jewish living in this country
for what they have been through.
As you've been saying, Obama's reelection will do a world of good on the matter of racism
in this country.

Doc, I am glad that you have understood my point about Obama.
Thank you.

When one is discriminated, he may feel sadness,
but when and if he still succeeds despite of it, the sadness turns into something sweet.
In a way, these kind of things can be the vitamins for our success.

In the early years of our life in America, we gradually turned the tide to the direction of our wish.
We may call it a sublimation.
However, it takes more than our efforts and perseverence.
There have to be some kind of huge powers that work in favor of us.
One of them is the goodness of American people.

I think Obama's presidency (not Obama, the person himself) is one of those too.
