Having just lost the race to be the most broadly liked East Asian team at this World Cup despite their almost unbearably hilarious rope-a-doping of Germany (RIP our brave, wildly over-attacking Japanese boys: we'll never forget you), the South Korean team were welcomed back home with a hailstorm of eggs launched by disgruntled fans.

Fans almost hit Tottenham striker Son Hyeung-Min with their yolky missiles during a disbanding ceremony at Incheon airport last night, but the players escaped unscathed. They were also taunted with Union Jack cushions, which were hurled in their vague direction.

However, despite the barrage of eggs being technically an assault if the intent was to harm the players, the Korean FA have declined to press charges.

"We first checked the KFA's intention whether it wants to punish the offenders before we launch our investigation," a spokesman from Incheon International Airport Police said. "Throwing eggs is considered an assault, but it's also an offence which can't be prosecuted without the victim's objection."

God knows what they would've been attacked with had they not managed to beat Germany.
