South Korea South Korea is a country in East Asia. South Korea has been renowned for the global influence on the entertainment scene with K-Pop and K-dramas. They are also known for the technology, foods, and sites. It is a great place to visit. The food are delicious and lots of good alcohol. They are also pretty good at their athletics. Baseball and soccer/football are their big team sports. South Korea's football team is run by the Korea Football Assocation, KFA. Their nickname is the Taegeuk Warriors and the Tigers of Asia.  Notable former players Park Ji-sung  Former Manchester United midfield and one of the best South Korean football players Recent World Cup history  South Korea is in Group H 11/24 - Uruguay 11/28 - Ghana 12/2 - Portugal Manager They are managed by Paulo Bento.  A Portuguese manager who managed the Portugal national team from 2010-2014. He once lost the Euro 2012 semifinal to Spain when he decided to let Cristiano Ronaldo be the 5th penalty taker and it never reached him. Which lead to this.  Squad  Goalkeepers Kim Seung-gyu - Al Shabab FC (Riyadh) Jo Hyeon-woo - Ulsan Hyundai Song Bum-keun - Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors Defenders Kim Young-gwon - Ulsan Hyundai Kim Jin-su - Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors Hong Chul - Daegu FC Kim Min-jae - Napoli Kwon Kyung-won - Gamba Osaka Kim Moon-hwan - Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors Kim Tae-hwan - Ulsan Hyundai Cho Yu-min - Daejeon Hana Citizen Yoon Jong-gyu - FC Seoul Midfielders Son Heung-min (captain) - Tottenham Hotspur Jung Woo-young - Al-Sadd Lee Jae-sung - Mainz 05 Hwang Hee-chan - Wolverhampton Wanderers Kwon Chang-hoon - Gimcheon Sangmu Hwang In-beom - Olympiacos Na Sang-ho - FC Seoul Son Jun-ho - Shandong Taishan Paik Seung-ho - Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors Song Min-kyu - Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors Jeong Woo-yeong - SC Freiburg Lee Kang-in - Mallorca Forwards Hwang Ui-jo - Olympiacos Cho Gue-sung - Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors Ones to watch Son Heung-min  The best player in the squad and one of the top players in the world. Recently won the Golden Boot in the Premier League and finished 11th in the Ballon d'Or. However, he recently needed to get surgery for a fracture around his left eye only a couple weeks ago. He will most likely be playing with a mask and there is still questions whether he will be ready for the World Cup. Kim Min-jae  One of the best defender in Serie A this season. Supposedly was nicknamed "Monster" at some point in his life. The team is maybe too reliant on Son. The team has been playing a more patient, pass oriented style and going away from their direct, fast and aggressive approach they have done in the past. However, they may have to switch up to a counter attacking style. They will have to rely on Son for the goals as the other players are not really clinical finishers. Also probably need to rely on Kim Min-jae to organize the defense.

Good write up but I would argue Byron Moreno is a more notable former player for Korea than Park Ji-Sung

Can’t believe they lost to Ghana, and their match with Uruguay was rough. If japan could beat Germany and Spain this World Cup, maybe Korea can beat Portugal and stay ???

13 min first goal for Portugal, yeah so long Korea. Then magically it’s 1-1 at 26 min. Uruguay is at 2-0, bigger goal difference points

Is there a reason why Jo Hyeon-woo isn't starting? He was their starting GK last time.

It’s honestly one of the best goals I’ve seen. It’s such smart play to slow down, not lose the ball, suck all the other defenders towards him and still find an angle to measure a perfect pass. The opposite of flashy, but the epitome of a great freaking goal.

Here’s the post interview about the play, it’s incredible. I want Korea and japan to win but I feel like if I gamble and put money down, I’m going to jinx the teams.
