It's showtime, ladies and gentlemen! Daegu FC, a team with more ties than my old private school, is squaring off against Gangwon FC, who've been tasting victory like they've got a bulk discount. Now, the past couple of brawls between these two clubs have been just as exciting as watching paint dry. But Gangwon FC has been leaving the field with their heads held high, a good deal brighter than Daegu FC.
Let's talk turkey, folks. Gangwon FC's regular season record might not inspire Greek epics, but it's got some meat to it. Fifteen firm wins compared to Daegu FC's rather limp eight, that's a taste difference right there. And Daegu's got a draw record that could choke a horse. Gangwon FC has been consistent enough, but recent blunders have put a couple of skid marks on their track record.
Humor me with a glance at Daegu FC's recent results. They've been trading punches and their win against Jeju United, along with some strong showings elsewhere, can't be dismissed. Granted, they're not quite setting the world on fire. Not to mention, their inability to close the deal is as consistent as a metronome, evident in their last match's draw against FC Seoul.
So, as our trusty magic 8-ball rolls around, looking at the figures, past performances and the somewhat shaky recent form of Gangwon FC, I'm having a hard time seeing a big win for either team. It seems we might be looking at a day where the two sides cancel each other out, much like the presence of pineapple on a pizza.
