Oooo - That's got to hurt

Ahn Expected to Sign with Suwon

Ahn Jung-hwan, a "hero" from Korea's 2002 World Cup team "...had sought to join a European or Japanese team but apparently gave up after receiving no offers."

I'm sure that the estimated US$1 million per year that he will get if he signs with the Suwon Samsung Blue Wings in the Korean league will go a long way to easing the pain, but, as a professional footballer who has actually played in Europe and Japan, this has to be a disappointment. There's no way to paint this as a patriotic return to his beloved Korea.
