Two goals from Tottenham’s Son Heung-Min saw South Korea register a 2-1 win over Colombia on Friday, but the friendly in Suwon has become a point of discussion for an altogether different reason.
Indeed, Colombia midfielder Edwin Cardona is at the epicentre after the substitute was caught making a moronic “slant eye” gesture at South Korean right-back Choi Chul-Soon behind the referee’s back.
The scuffle began in earnest when James Rodriguez fouled Kim Jin-Su, only to then hit the deck himself in utterly laughable circumstances…
As the two sets of players milled about in the aftermath, the touchline cameras picked up Cardona aiming racial abuse at his opponent through the rabble…
What a quick and efficient way to show everybody you’re a f**king idiot.
Here’s hoping FIFA throw the book at him given the clarity of the evidence – not that we’re holding our breath unduly.
