Player Watch Player Watch: Son Heung-min

[Sandro30]

South Korea will go all the way I reckon. They are the best team at the tournament on paper.

I disagree. Qatar will be a big test for them if they beat Iraq.

 

[coys200]

Will be out next round they’ve been awful so far. Find it quite odd Sonny doesn’t really impose himself in these games and score loads.

Qatar been importing nomad footballers since WC announced to get together a decent team they are pretty strong.

If Qatar knock them out then that's probably the first positive thing to come out of the 2022 World Cup since Blatter's arrest.

I know Qater are world beaters

 

[NickHSpurs]

He's gonna come back knackered again isn't he

 

[fluffybunnyuk]

I figured it'd be Japan v South Korea final after the groups were done. *sigh* 日本 ole. Just dont carve son up please. divided loyalties here.

Guess Son wants to give a chance to score to younger players.

I'm sure having players go out early in anything they take part in will work wonders for the lack of winner mentality that our club struggle with.

I'm confused on the maths of winner mentality calcuation, what round does he need to be knocked out for it to undo the winner mentality he picked up winning the tournament earlier this season?

 

[allpaths]

Watching this beautiful man play for south korea hurts my soul. His team mates are nowhere near his quality.

 

[nailsy]

Are any of his teammates worth looking at?

They don’t do it for me, but whatever floats your boat .

Japan are a better team than South Korea. Probably by a good bit too.

 

[SugarRay]

Crying shame they can’t meet until the final then!

Come on Qatar, you fake nation bastards full of imported foreign players, beat Korea so we can have our Sonny back ASAP!

 

[TwanYid]

If they win this can they finally just let him fucking go?!? I mean what more will they need out of him?

 

[coyspurs18]

This. I mean why on Earth would they want their best player, who is in his prime, to continue playing for them?! It's lunacy.

 

[thelak]

I see it - I understand it even. Its just that I see value in backing the player because I think its that bond with the player and the supporters that makes this team special.

I want Son to succeed precisely because I support Spurs - and that means I support those players, and want what is best from them, because, in turn, I think they will produce the most for us.

You seem like a lovely guy

I would rather Korea crashed out of this tournament, all the spurs players had a big game of uno to cheer him up and Then he bangs in the winner against Chelsea on Thurs

I would love for Son to succeed for Korea when it doesn’t involve missing vital games for spurs though - hope you don’t think I’m a terrible human

 

[TwanYid]

This. I mean why on Earth would they want their best player, who is in his prime, to continue playing for them?! It's lunacy.

Well, for one because he'll have garnered them the only two championships they actually could win and secondly because they're majorly impacting his professional career. So yeah, if they win this maybe exempt him from all but WC-related comps.

 

[thefierycamel]

Sonny is such a decent bloke that I feel bad that I’m cheering for Bahrain.

But we need you back Sonny, so come on Bahrain!

We only need Sonny back because England (and Belgium) were selfish and went all the way to the semi-finals of the world cup. Wouldn't be in this mess without that bullshit happening. Back him in, it's our equivalent of the Euros so it means a lot to these players and if SK get knocked out it will hurt for sure, and he'll probably turn in poor performances at spurs for a few matches afterwards

 

[Armstrong_11]

tough one for Sonny...

Korean has to do well in any competition they are in.

they have another winnable match on Friday vs Qatar

 

[Gareth88]

A few OG’s will have him home in no time
