The South Korean government has made it mandatory for all able-bodied men to complete a military service for two years sometime between 18 and 35, as a deterrent against the North. There are, however, some ways ‘exceptions’ to this rule for Korean athletes, as receiving an Olympic medal or gold medal in different tournaments (like the Asian game) for the country results in an exemption on any military service for them. There was a big issue that South Korean’s footballers are officially exempt from any kind of military duty because they made 2 -1 win against japan in final match of Asian game 2018. Tottenham fans will be immensely delighted to know that star player ‘Son’ will continue to be one part of their team. By the rules in Asian football game, squads are inexperienced, as each team is only allowed three players over the age 23 and Son was one of them, called ‘Wild card’.

Sports and their Influence on Different Countries Jon Eichenbaum, Guojon Bjarkason, Julius Halldorsson, Suk Jae Yoon The NFL and its Influence on the United States Overview: Like soccer(to avoid further confusion in this post I will be using the word soccer instead of football moving forward) is a religion for most countries around the world, the United States has a similar religion. It is that of football. It is not uncommon to hear the quote "the NFL owns a day of the week", and this is not untrue. On any given Sunday in the United States you would be hard pressed to find a store, restaurant, or household that was not playing at least one of the football games that is on.
