This week on the One Two Pod Steve Han fills in for Albert for a special Korean National Team episode. Michael talks with Steve about the recent friendlies between Paulo Bento's senior national team and Kim Hakbum's Olympic national team. They discuss some of the K League veterans who stood out for Team Bento, the rise of young Ulsan players Won Dujae and Lee Donggyeong, and what happens next month in Austria against Mexico and Qatar. On the Olympic side, Steve digs into just how cohesive this squad is and how difficult Kim Hakbum's roster construction for next year's Tokyo Olympics will be. To highlight this, Michael plays a little game with Steve, giving him players that are on the bubble and asks Steve whether they go to Tokyo or could be cut from the final roster. As always, check out our Stripes of the Week, with a certain NBA flavor this week to celebrate the Lakers NBA Finals victory, which Steve is ecstatic about. We hope you are all staying safe and healthy out there.
