December 10, 2020 ACL Quarter-Finals and News Round-up
Ryan Walters, Matthew Binns, and Peter Hampshire are back together again in the lovingly (why would it ever be otherwise?) named Kim Do-hoon Bunker to discuss ACL and much more. They begin with Ulsan Hyundai's thorough 3-0 win over A-League outfit Melbourne Victory. From Bjorn Johnsen finally getting minutes and finding form, to the continued growth of Won Du-jae, the game had a bit of everything. They then move on to Suwon Samsung Bluewings shock victory over 2019 J.League champions, Yokohama F Marinos. A Suwon side still without an out-and-out striker not only beat one of the tournament favorites from the East, but looked good doing so. As Binns would say, Park Kun-ha-matata. The second segment sees a deep dive into the previous weeks news which features a number of new managers in both divisions, and the retirement of a few K League legends. In the final segment, they open the Eulji Lewis Mailbag with questions from coaching to potential name changes, and the ever-present K League vs J.League debate whenever ACL is happening. All that and more in this edition of the K League United Podcast.

December 03, 2020 Playoff Recap, VAR, ACL Group Stage
Ryan Walters welcomes by Matthew Binns and George Slade to the virtual Kim Do-hoon Bunker to break down the K League 2 playoff matches of the season. They start in Changwon where Gyeongnam FC moved on after a 1-1 draw against Daejeon Hana Citizen with a disputed VAR call taking center stage late in the game. The conversation then shifts North where Suwon FC also benefitted from being the higher seed and was promoted to K League 1... after a contentious late VAR call. After getting most of the VAR whinging out of the way, they do briefly discuss why Suwon went up and whether or not this playoff system is the right one moving forward. The second segment brings reprieve from VAR in the form of AFC Champions League. Ryan, Matt, and George go group by group assessing each K League team's performance thus far. They start with the rollercoaster that has been FC Seoul from their 5-0 dismantling of Chiangrai United to back-to-back losses. Moving on to Group F, they talk about Yoon Bit-garam's meteoric rise on the international stage and the Horangi securing top spot in the group. Group G brings up the Suwon Samsung Bluewings unenviable position of having to beat Vissel Kobe by multiple goals in order to advance. And finally, they discuss the first Korean team eliminated from the contest: Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors. Lastly, the three open up a full Eulji Lewis Mailbag with questions ranging from formations to ACL, and back to – you guessed it – VAR. All that and more in this edition of the K League United Podcast.

November 24, 2020 Friendlies, ACL Round-Up, and K2 Playoff Preview with Connor Chapman
Ryan Walters is joined for the first time in a long time by Paul Neat and George Slade to discuss a range of topics as Korean football refuses to slow down despite K League 1 and the FA Cup being done and dusted. The three pick up in Austria where the Korean National team lost and won friendly matches against Mexican and Qatar, but the largest talking point came off the field with several players and staff testing positive for COVID 19. The hosts discuss whether or not these matches should have taken place, and which players should (or shouldn't) have been called in. They then switch focus to the resumption of AFC Champions League where Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors, FC Seoul, Suwon Samsung Bluewings, and Ulsan Hyundai all played over the weekend. They begin with a discussion on ACL's format and some potential changes, and then each give one takeaway from the four matches. The third segment shifts focus to the final match day of the K League 2 season and the VAR controversy that plagued Seoul E-Land vs Jeonnam Dragons. They discuss Julian Kristoffersen's multiple disallowed goals as well as that handball non-call. They then briefly discuss Gyeongnam FC's 1-0 victory over Daejeon Hana Citizen which ensured the exact same match up just a few days later. The final segment sees the hosts briefly preview Gyeongnam vs Daejeon's playoff match before they give way to Paul's interview with Australian midfielder Connor Chapman. The two discuss Daejeon's season thus far, expectations, and the looming playoff matches. All that and more in this edition of the K League United Podcast.
