Korean Soccer Team Apologizes for Booze Party

This is a bit embarrassing for the Korean soccer team though I doubt anyone in Korea is going to care:

South Korea captain Lee Woon-jae delivered a tearful apology after admitting to a late-night drinking session with team mates during the Asian Cup in Jakarta.

Goalkeeper Lee, Lee Dong-guk, Kim Sang-sik and Woo Sung-yong left the team base to go drinking after Korea’s shock 2-1 loss to Bahrain on July 15, the Korea Football Association (KFA) said. ‘There is no room for excuses,’ said a tearful Lee at the KFA headquarters on Tuesday. ‘I was captain at the time and I will accept any punishment the association hands me.’ [ESPN]
