Pohang Steelers are just 90 minutes away from making soccer history. On Saturday night, the team
from Gyeongsang province could become the most successful club in Asia – ever.
The South Koreans meet Saudi Arabia's Al Ittihad in Tokyo in the final of the Asian Champions
League. The opposition also has two wins under its belt.
With most attention on the exploits of Pohang Steelers in the Asian Champions League and the
national team's friendly matches in Europe against Denmark and Serbia, the fact that the K-League
is about to embark upon its championship play-off series has almost gone unnoticed.
Six teams are still in with a chance of the domestic title.
With the benefit of hindsight it was written in the stars that FC Seoul's season would end last
Saturday after losing to Chunnam Dragons in the first round of the K-league's championship
play-offs.
Seoul thought they shouldn't have needed to play the match at all. The capital club spent the whole
season slugging it out with Jeonbuk Motors at the top of the K-League and expected to go straight
to the final, or at least, the semi-final.
East Asia has long struggled to produce prolific goalscorers and most clubs import attackers from
Brazil, Africa and Eastern Europe.
It is a chicken-and-egg situation. Do clubs buy foreign forwards because there isn't enough local
talent or is there not enough local talent because clubs pack their offensive lines with overseas
stars?

The 2009 K-League season was a special one for a certain southwestern region as Jeolla Province
welcomed the golden championship trophy for the first time ever. No longer can Jeonbuk Motors claim
to be the only team on the continent to have won the Asian title without ever winning the domestic
prize.
