In 2011, South Korea battled all the way into the semfinals where they were defeated by Japan in a penalty kick shootout. They picked themselves up, and defeated Uzbekistan to finish fourth. 2015 is already an improvement. Lee Jeong-hyeop's 20th minute strike would be enough to win the game. That didn't prevent Kim Young-gwon from scoring in the 50th minute just to seal the deal. As a result, South Korea await tomorrow's winner between Australia and the United Arab Emirates in the Championship match. Though they lost, Iraq have improved this tournament, as well. 2011 saw them lose in the quarterfinals 1:0 to Australia after going into extra time. Though they lost today, they still have a chance to leave the tournament on a winning note. They, too, await the result of the Australia and United Arab Emirates match as the loser will join Iraq in the third place matchup on Friday.
Korea Republic 2:0 Iraq
Scriptor: Australia 3:0 Iraq
IoannesNix: Australia 3:1 Iraq
Artifex: Australia 2:0 Qatar
Quaesitor: Australia 2:1 Palestine
Praeceptor: Australia 1:2 Iraq
The Day 15 Bonus has not been awarded. There has been no correct answer. That question is not open ended, but does indeed have a factual answer.
Day 16's Bonus fell to Artifex for showing love to the couches. Those couches don't get enough love.
Also, Artifex gained a point today for picking that the first semifinal would finish 2:0 to the home side.
Please note, all yellow cards have been wiped off the books. From here on forward, players start with a clean slate.
STANDINGS:
30/8
25/9
22/8
18/6
13/5
Tomorrow sees one more chance to score 3 points for a pick. The tournament is quickly coming to an end. There are some chances to to get back into the game. Today's Bonus Bonanza is worth 2 points.
