3. [+2097, -12] How uncivilized

4. [+1866, -33] They look like Russians

5. [+1339, -13] That's enough

Source: My Daily via Naver

1. [+3571, -94] The match felt like a match between friends...

2. [+3015, -53] England got lucky with the schedule of the tournament.

3. [+2562, -67] Belgium's defeat by France was so unfortunate...

4. [+2412, -79] Hazard is so good

5. [+1703, -57] Look at the English players marching in a line like a train ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

6. [+485, -14] The worst goaler in the history of World Cup, Harry Kane

7. [+295, -10] How many times did they kill De Bryune's passes?

8. [+280, -65] Jang Geun Suk was fine filming a drama just a few months ago but he became bipolar when he decided to serve at the age of 32.

9. [+209, -6] Even if England managed to advance into the final, they would've gotten slayed by France.

10. [+196, -9] Look at these English jerks half-assing their game. If they were Korean players, they would've gotten showered by online comments.

11. [+179, -9] Belgium is really good

12. [+175, -8] Conclusion of the match: England was all about getting lucky with the schedule of the tournament. How did they even advance into semi-finals?

13. [+169, -17] This match was so boring. Do you agree, Geun Suk hyung?

Article: [Official announcement] FIFA to hold 2022 Qatar World Cup on November 21... First time in history

Source: SpoTV via Naver

1. [+6832, -223] Do they have to hold World Cup in a country like that?

2. [+5432, -158] What about the Leagues... The players won't be in a good condition.

3. [+3963, -113] What about the schedule of the Leagues?

4. [+3539, -553] What? This is the same as writing college entrance exams in March.

5. [+2560, -111] Then the major players in big European clubs won't participate. What about the Leagues...

6. [+319, -23] They were saying that they were going to install ACs and all that stuff in the stadium to hold World Cup in Qatar. What do they mean by November ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

7. [+192, -14] I don't know how much Qatar paid for this but I seriously don't understand why they decided to hold World Cup in a hot country that never even participated in World Cup before...

8. [+170, -43] Jang Geun Suk needs to enlist!

Article: Son Heung Min aims for AG gold medal, is the current system of military exemption OK?

Source: Oh My News via Naver

1. [+3099, -178] The military service is blocking his career when he's at the age to be at his peak... On the other hand, someone had no problem with filming a drama just a few months ago but he became bipolar when he decided to enlist and he's doing an alternate service at the age of 32.

2. [+2523, -391] The sports players need to be exempt for the days they spent to train as national players. It's their personal honor but I think it's fair for them to be exempt for the days they spent for the country.

3. [+2355, -137] Let him enlist at the age of 32 like Jang Geun Suk. Are you kidding me? Why should Son Heung Min be forced to serve in July, 2019? I don't care about celebrities getting away with it because it's their custom and for Son Heung Min, his service should also be delayed because he's a top soccer player that the entire country is focusing on.

4. [+1011, -110] The military service is blocking the players' careers! They're not even allowed to serve after they retire. It doesn't make sense that the players' nationality is their weakness.

5. [+188, -44] If there was no exemption in 2002, Park Jisung in ManU wouldn't exist.

6. [+185, -38] They need to strengthen the law for baseball players. There are only three countries in Asia that play baseball properly. It's so easy to get exempt by baseball.

1. [+7092, -182] It was an insane match... Croatia's mental strength just doesn't make sense... Croatia is the expert of overtime. How can they have three overtimes... Today's match also ended late ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

2. [+6686, -220] Wow, Croatia is insane. They should win, they're totally showing us what fighting spirit is. It's not easy to play three overtimes. After Mandžukić scored, one of the journalists fell and Rakitić was nice enough to help him out... Very different from Mbappe whom they're going to face off in the finals. And Mod unnie (tn: Modric) looked so awesome when he was smiling and taking off his hairband as he entered.

3. [+3785, -216] What's wrong with Mbappe? He's been doing that for all the matches, makes me dislike him.

4. [+3448, -212] Mbappe is becoming unlikeable...

5. [+3129, -221] Is Mbappe for real?

1. [+2402, -121] They would've been eliminated much earlier if they weren't lucky with the schedule of the tournament. Advancing into semi-finals is good enough.

2. [+1829, -44] After scoring one goal, they were thinking about the finals when there were still 85 minutes left in the match.

3. [+1307, -46] Croatia writes a new drama with every match!! Looking forward to the finals.

4. [+994, -49] Croatia let's win!!

5. [+89, -9] Croatia had three overtimes in a row and even won the match... Let's teach France a good lesson in the finals!

6. [+275, -21] England was lucky with the schedule of the tournament, but Sweden isn't a team that loses easily. The goalkeeper also played a big role today. Meanwhile, another group is really competitive to the point where even Brazil is getting eliminated ㅋㅋ It's all because of Januzaj ㅋㅋ

3. [+176, -3] His touch was really amazing though ㅋㅋㅋㅋ That was it ㅋㅋ

4. [+148, -9] He caressed amazingly but he couldn't put it in...
