The Great Equalizer

I got chills when the celebration took place.
Back in Old Town Square, where I watched on the big screen the night before, the match this time was France against South Korea. Ji Sung Park’s goal in the 81st minute earned the Koreans a point with their 1-1 tie and sent the streets into jubilation.
A South Korean contingent of a couple hundred strong, who Saturday marched through the streets with some beating drums, exploded with energy when the ball crossed the line and remained that way until the final whistle. You could feel how emotional a moment it was for the fans.
On our way out of the square, my friend and I bumped into two guys from Atlanta we hung out with the night before to watch the U.S. We’ll see them again Thursday when the U.S. plays Ghana in a match I can’t stop thinking about.
I’m heading back out, so until tomorrow.
