Koreans gathered at Wudaokou to watch the worldcup game between S.Korea and somebody else. They were dressed up like red devils, singing and yelling and clapping hands all together, so that I felt they could go to fight as soldiers at any second.
Finally, Korean team won the game and that spot was consequently boiled by the red devils. Cops came. They didn't stop anybody from getting excited but tried to push the group to a corner. Some white and black guys also joined Korean fans and they found Korean girls were much easy to approach at that moment.
Then I wished I could have a big gun, because my tiny camera can't handle this exciting situation in the darkness. What a pity.

Argentina vs Mexico (03 - 01)
Sucks to be a referee today for calling the wrong shots.
The contested first goal made by Argentina created a feisty stirrup amongst the players of Mexico.
Commentators noted it shouldn't have been counted.
Referees are getting a bad rap throughout the games, which isn't so much of a surprise anymore while it's frustrating.
I lost interest in the game shortly after. Argentina performed well and so on and so forth. There was no surprise while Mexico struggled for a come back.
Only 70 minutes into the game did Mexico score their first goal. My interest was anchored back into the game. Only to watch the Mexicans slowly fall with defeat. The underdogs would not go down without a fight.
Argentina advances to the next round of the quarter finals, competing against Germany next Saturday.
This is considered Argentina's biggest comeback to the Cup (in wins) since 1930s.
Mexico goes home.
I have nothing more poetic to say about this game.
