Koreans Miffed Over Park Snub
South Korean football fans had been eagerly waiting for Thursday morning, shaking off sleepiness and turning on their televisions to see energetic midfielder Park Ji-sung of Manchester United waltz down the wing against Chelsea in the Champions League final in Moscow.
…
But Korean fans’ hopes turned into disappointment, as United manager Alex Ferguson deployed England’s Owen Hargreaves on the right wing with Christiano Ronaldo of Portugal on the opposite side that Park had filled.
…
Some people expressed emotional responses, rooting for the opposing team, sponsored by Korean company Samsung.
