Soccer has more action than football | Don't @ Me w/Dan Dakich
Dan Dakich is getting won over by the World Cup & now believes that soccer has more action than a regular NFL or college football game.
It's pretty early in the week, but even if things are already going sideways for you, I can promise you you're still probably having a better week than the South Korean soccer team that just arrived home from the World Cup.
Let's say that they were not received like conquering heroes. In fact, it was more like whatever the opposite of that is.
I'm not sure too many people had the South Koreans going the distance in this year's tournament, but they were certainly expected to get out of the group stage. However, the Koreans finished third in Group A thanks to losses against Mexico and South Africa, with a 2-1 win over Czechia keeping their World Cup from being a complete disaster.

However, with three points and a -1 goal differential, the South Koreans were not one of the eight-best third-place teams, which meant an early return flight back home.

But, not before the coach resigned and the nation's president called for an investigation into the World Cup failure and the hiring process for the national team coach.
So, that couldn't have been a fun flight knowing what was waiting for them.
In fact, the team flew in at 4 a.m., hoping to avoid protesters, and, well... that probably seemed like a good idea, but it sure didn't work.

Oh man.
All I could think about watching this was how I can't imagine anything that would make me so mad that I would go out to the airport just to give them a piece of my mind.

And even if there was something that got me that mad, the chance of me going out to do that at 4 a.m. is virtually zero.

So, these fans are about as mad as you'll ever see any fans, and it goes to show how intense the World Cup truly is.
But, the worst part for the South Koreans and their fans is that it will be a long four years before the next World Cup gets underway.
