One of the dedicated crowd of Korean fans. Face-painting was common; this sort of get-up was a bit more rare.

Daegu Stadium, site of the Korea-USA game. The game, by the way, ended in a 1:1 tie.
The crowd at Daegu. Red is the color of the South Korean team. There was a small - very small - group of US fans to our left, but you hardly noticed their presence amid the deafening Korean chants.
Another shot of the crowd. It was a bit rainy, so we were glad to be in the roofed section.
Before the game began, the fans at the head of the stadium ran a Korean flag over the crowd.
Once again, it's the fans at the head of the stadium - they were obviously the most organized - in a group statement urging Korea to make it to the next round, the Round of 16: "Go KOR-16!"
