Yo Deen! This is awesome! I played for the Maryland team back in 1988-1990. Our team went to Korean and won the whole thing. I couldn't go because I was only a sophomore in high school at that time! But it was an amazing experience. I'm in OC now, not too far from you still playing in your area! Rep Cali STRONG my bro!!!

Glad to see Takuma FC represented at the Olympics

Yes please document this. It’s actually very interesting

the way you pronounced taekwondo and heung min son I can tell you’re pretty americanized 🤣 i’m the exact same tho ain’t nothin wrong w it!

cool this popped up on my feed, representing the Toronto team that'll be there (only Canadian team to participate). also 전국체전 is definitely a thing (the Korean National Sports Festival for Koreans outside of Korea!). Our team represented Canada and won silver back in 2022, great experience. funny cuz we played the Japan team, and although they came from a Korean lineage, they all looked and sounded Japanese lol. the other teams we faced were just like us, looked Korean but can speak their respective country's language (German-Koreans, or Brazil-Koreans etc.)

Super cool! Good luck man. I love seeing ways to make soccer meaningful and important to people even when probably no one is getting paid. There are Asian teams in my leagues and they are always fun because they show up with a fan base and they are there to win. They make the games really fun to play.

Love your content!

Keep doing this proud from iceland

The language thing that Deen talks about is a real thing amongst Koreans. If you're not like them they close up, which doesn't make sense because whenever you play with a Mexican team and you don't know Spanish everyone is super welcoming.

Was at New York playing for Chicago. The cali team was definitely talented

small world. I was on the Missouri team and a bunch of us were on the sidelines watching the finals. Those cali and NJ boys played their hearts out haha the intensity was insane. Might see you in vegas on the washington team.

I was volunteering for the event last year, pretty interesting experience especially to see the player side

"Ahh... I'm already tired from the warmup" Me every time I go play footy

You’re about to be the chef out in Vegas cause it’s going to cook 😮‍💨

I met some dudes playing soccer that were Korean Argentinian and apparently they have a huge community of Koreans down there 🤯

Aight bro hope you guys win

“I rise and falls to the level of my competition” This always happens to the Mexican National Soccer team😂, I wonder if this has to do with the fact that you played with a team of Mexicans during your youth.

Hope it’s going on when I’m there in June.

TAKUMA FC TILL THE DAY I DIE

i feel u on that prejudice stuff within your own community

let me know when you guys play and where, I live right near OC and I'll probably come out and watch.

Hey Deen, where can I get the info about the team? I'm based in LA and would love to try out

didn't know this existed! pretty cool

deen cooking as always 🗣🗣

Lets go deen. First korean american olympics, next MLS.

The judging on americanized asians is real lol. Played for my schools chinese team for a bit and they did not fw me cuz i speak good english even tho i grew up in China lol

Anyone know if there is a chinese american version of this? Im chinese in dallas and i barely know chinese who play soccer at a high level

Yoooo, this is awesome

Hey Deen, do you have a link to the footage of the games from last year's tournament?

Bro called the other team "bots" 😭😭

Hey Deen, what mic are you using when you are playing on the field?

Why didnt u wear the adidas predators pro that u bought

Hey when can I watch you play ?

where can i tryout for the vietnamese

Good luck

im representing new york see you there

very nice deen

Hit me up for real competition we play pick up in Arcadia every night

SoCal superiority complex is actually a problem lol

lmao so it definitely sounds like it's geared more towards Koreans IN America rather than Korean Americans judging by how they treated you.

deen can i be your agent

which one is deen

Youreeeee skiiiiiin yea you’re skiiin and bones…….. and it was allllll yellow

You talk about Koreans like you are a foreigner lmfao
