Wonderful moment for him, he was somewhat poor in the game before that and just a couple of moments earlier he was in roadrunner mode looking down and not getting a pass off but he really did well to set up the goal.
A bit bizarre how he would have 4-5 south korea players open and dribble into a dead end with his head down but then have almost no one forward with him and look for a pass... but it worked out in the end!
Really happy for him, just shows that one moment of magic is enough to make the difference.
I think that is because of the mask. It hinders his sight a bit.
Selfishly and stupidly I had been quietly hoping S Korea might go out, to give Sonny a break and time for him to heal a bit more.Really happy for him, just shows that one moment of magic is enough to make the difference.
But clearly that wasn't what he needed, was it? One magical assist and progressing from the group stages has proved to be a marvellous medicine for him.
Likely they lose to Brazil and he gets 20 days rest anyway.
Gooner???
Same for Kane. I’m not sure he will another shot this season, other than the odd pen
Imagine one or two on here who were determined to hate on him.
Calling him ‘mentally weak’.

He’s definitely not that. Emotional chap though.
Wearing ones heart on ones sleeve, so to speak is healthy.
Even if historically most men are taught that it is weak to show your emotions!
Yep. There’s a worrying trend of shitting on our own players despite the service they’ve given
Respect needed
He’s not finished. Phenomenal player.
Mauricio Pochettino shares funny story about Heung-Min Son's first training session at Tottenham
Mauricio Pochettino has now shared a funny story about what happened in Heung-Min Son’s first training session at Tottenham Hotspur.

Pochettino appeared as a guest on the BBC’s coverage of South Korea’s shock win over Portugal on Friday. And the Argentine shared a brilliant story about Son’s first training session in north London.
“It was a really tough first season, it was a massive change from Germany. He’s a familiar person, he needs his family around,” Pochettino said.
“I remember in the first training session his father was watching. I had one eye on him and one eye on his father. His father was controlling everything.
“But after he said ‘I am so happy with the way you treat my son, and your training session’ and I was like ‘phew’.”
You don't have to watch the match to realize that this guy is one hell of a leader. Fucking love him. He and South Korea won their World Cup, they should be proud.
