Japan v South Korea in the final.
Also i know every article is about Son as he's their most high profile player, but i'm pretty sure every other Korean in that team also wants to win and avoid the military service too.2 -
Seems to be very close in terms of U23 results between the two...

If I was in the squad and had gone to the Olympic Games and already had my get out of NS free card I’m be planning a plethora of own goalsChris_from_Sidcup said:Japan v South Korea in the final.

Seems a shame for every other south korean kid that has to do their national service because they are not an overage rich footballer playing in a tournament for younger footballers2

I can see what you're saying, but couldn't quite a few of those other South Korean kids derive great pleasure from seeing Son play in the premier league and for South Korea in proper tournaments and would rather he didn't take time out.letthegoodtimesroll said:Seems a shame for every other south korean kid that has to do their national service because they are not an overage rich footballer playing in a tournament for younger footballers

I think I read that thousands have signed a petition saying that they'll do double the NS if Son doesn't have to do his. I think the general public want them to skip it.Super_Eddie_Youds said:

I'd be interested to hear if other Gold Medal winners at the Asian Games are also getting to skip their Service0

The rules are every South Korean does 2 years before they are 28 unless they win a World Cup, Asian Games or Olympic Gold.ForeverAddickted said:I'd be interested to hear if other Gold Medal winners at the Asian Games are also getting to skip their Service
Other countries I don't know about but I suspect nothing will stop you serving in North Korea if Kim wants you to0 - Sponsored links:

Not necessarily, when the North Koreans invade he can show them his Asian games medal so they know he’s exempt from fighting them...thenewbie said:

I believe he still has to do 4 weeks basic training then return to do 3/5 days a year for the following 6 years. But he avoids the standard 21 months service0

Spurs must be delighted that he hasnt gone to the Asian Games with South Korea, been such a big player for them this season @JohnBoyUK1

He is going after their game v Man Utd this weekend. Spurs struck a deal with South korea that he could miss their first 2 games given they're only against Philippines and Kyrgyzstanpaulie8290 said:Spurs must be delighted that he hasnt gone to the Asian Games with South Korea, been such a big player for them this season @JohnBoyUK
