The British BBC reported on the day that Korea's come-from-behind win was, "Korea overcame a bad start and reached a happy ending."

The BBC said, "Korea gave up the first goal to Portugal five minutes into the game, but just before the end of the game TV Series Chick succeeded in turning it around. We can finally have a party."

The British daily "Guardian" said, "As soon as the final whistle blew, Song threw his mask into the air. If Uruguay had one more goal toward Ghana, they wouldn't have been able to go to the next round."
