JAINE K1M puts together some fantatic photos showing how Koreans support their national soccer team in Germany 2006 FIFA World Cup.

I know many Koreans have been down since yesterday and that you are all mad and furious about the game, but I also know you are all proud of our team as I am. I am most extremely proud of our team and hope that they go back to Korea with their head up instead of looking down in shame, because through them, we had something to hope for and myself had a great time cheering for the past few weeks.
