[Groundhopping] Seongnam FC vs Hwaseong FC 2-0

🪽🟧 Seongnam FC vs Hwaseong FC 2-0
🏆 K League 2
🏟️ Tancheon Sports Complex
📍 Seongnam, South Korea
🗓️ 2025-02-23
🕑 14:00
🎟️ 15000 KRW
👥 3314

✍️ They don't know I'm from Hwaseong… Paying 5000 extra for the 2nd floor was sure worth it. And so that's the AFC Champions League, the Korean 1st and 2nd division all visited in one week! Whew!

Trivia: Hwaseong FC joined the K League 2 this year and this was their first ever match as a professinal club. Their new coach is Cha Du-ri, who is famous for being the son of Cha Bum-kun(who was born in Hwaseong) and for this catchy La Cucaracha-esque supplement ad that was a mega hit in the early 2010s. (I, too, used to hum this around)

[Groundhopping] FC Seoul vs FC Anyang 2-1

👹🟪 FC Seoul vs FC Anyang 2-1
🏆 K League 1
🏟️ Seoul World Cup Stadium
📍 Seoul, South Korea
🗓️ 2025-02-22
🕟 16:30
🎟️ 19000 KRW
👥 41415

✍️ First home match of the season, and Anyang being just 2 hours away meant a cracking atmosphere from both sides. And guess what, Lingard scored the opener to win the home side 2-1! He's Seoul's captain and biggest star and he's sure loving it here.

It's a 7-0!

A cartoon-style watercolour painting. Wood and Elanga is holding up three fingers while confidently smiling at the viewer. Wood is also holding the Premier League ball. There are six thick lines in the background that creates seven spaces that represent the seven goals. Three goal and assist marks are connected to Wood and Elanga. In the first space there is Dunk with crossed out eyes. In the last space Jota Silva is doing his celebration. On the very top is the letter 7-0 with cropped out rectangles of Forest and Brighton's crests on each side, except the Brighton seagull has crossed out eyes.

[Groundhopping] Gwangju FC vs Buriram United 2-2

🇰🇷🇹🇭 Gwangju FC vs Buriram United 2-2
🏆 AFC Champions League Elite
🏟️ Gwangju World Cup Stadium
📍 Gwangju, South Korea
🗓️ 2025-02-18
🕖 19:00
🎟️ 15000 KRW
👥 2688

✍️ Gwangju FC are having the time of their lives now. They finished 3rd right after promotion to the top tier in 2023, qualified for an Asian tourment for the first time in history and had already secured RO16 before this final round match.

Actually I don't follow the K League, this is only the 2nd time I attended a game (the first was FC Seoul vs Ulsan HD last November, seeing the stadium erupt after Lingard's goal felt extra surreal as a Forest fan in Korea 😅) but now I got interested and I'm ready to tick a few more off the list this year.

I think football saved my life (an honest comic about how it feels)

Some feeling that I don't generally show in my art. Existental dread is hitting pretty hard in these times, no?
A four-panel comic in watercolour. [1st] The artist's avatar(a brick red lindworm) looks out the balcony window with a snowy hill visible outside and thinks 'I hope spring won't come this year'. [2nd] Same scene viewed from outside the window and closed up. It thinks 'I doubt it will. Everything is dying and it's our fault, we don't deserve flowers' [3rd] A closeup that only the lindworm's eye is visible. There is a big '!' and a speech bubble that reads 'But… if it never gets warm, when will I start wearing football shirts?' Below is a small drawing of the lindworm wearing a padded jacket and shivering. [4th] The lindworm wearing a Maribor 24/25 away shirt frolicks on a sunny green and yellow field. There are plants that resemble club crests: a green and red tree on the horizon(Southampton and Forest), a red lily with purple leaves(Fiorentina), a green plant(Fenerbahçe), a red rose(Blackburn), a four-leaf clover(Celtic) and two three-leaf clovers(Fürth/Panathinaikos/Omonia).

🍺On the piss with Nuno🍺

Inspired by the Gedling Inn story!
A cartoon-style watercolour painting. The background is a repeated pattern of tilted pint glasses. The glasses are randomly full, half, or almost empty. On the centre are Yates and Nuno doing a toast while smiling at the viewer. Two red lines tipped with a star shoot out from between their glasses. They are between two lines of red text that reads 'ON THE PISS' on the top and 'WITH NUNO' on the bottom, with the top 'I' replaced with a glass of pint. The two and the text are surrounded by a bold black outline to better seperate them from the background.

WWWWWW from December to January!

A cartoon-style watercolour painting. There are six Ws. The first W is coloured yellow, orange, red with a fire pattern and pictures MGW snapping a devil's trident in half. The second W is sky blue with claret and gold swirl patterns and frames Milenkovic shouting with his fists held up. The third W is striped red and white and frames Aina winking and sipping a box of Ribena. The fourth W is dark blue with white snowflakes and frames Elanga with a Santa hat holding a gift box that has a Premier League ball. The fifth W is a blue brick pattern on a white back and frames Nuno with two Manager of the Month trophies in his arms. The sixth W is gold and frames Awoniyi and Wood raising up their hands in joy. On the right side of each of the Ws, there are small heads of a devil, a lion, a bee, a cockerel, the Everton lock-up, and a wolf that lie askew with crossed out eyes. The text right in the middle reads '2024-12-07—2025-01-14'. Six green circles are on the left side of the text.
