Matthew Binns is joined by Paul Neat to first go over the match before being joined by Jung Muyeol to get his experience from being in Korea at that time. Later, we are then joined by the founder of the Tavern of the Taeguk Warriors, Roy Ghim, to recall his memories of watching Korea and discuss the legacy this team has left on Korea and Korean football.

| EXTRA | The End of Ricardo Peres' Era at Busan IPark | 01 Jun 2022 | 00:17:29 | |
Sometimes things don't go to plan. That is something that can be said of this week's podcast and also the tenure of Ricardo Peres at Busan IPark, This week's episode was originally scheduled to be a K League 2 special but, in a case of timing things too well, Wednesday's news of Busan IPark manager Ricardo Peres being fired by the club has somewhat scuppered what we had began writing and recording just two days earlier. To discuss Busan IPark's managerial woes, Matthew Binns was joined by our columnist Dowon Lee in Adelaide who took time out of his busy schedule to explain where it is all going wrong for Peres, only for the news to break afterwards. Without wanting to discard the interview, and repurpose it as a view from the final days of Peres' tenure and the issues facing Busan IPark, we thought we'd give listeners an idea of how things stood on Monday evening for the club's season. | |||
