You can tell that Korea are really good at soccer because of a few reasons: 1) They're in Asia, which is near China, the birthplace of the sport 2) They qualified for the world cup 3) There's two of them 4) Look at these crests of their club sides Korea hosted the World Cup in 2002, and they finished 4th on home turf, so they know a bit about doing well at World Cups. Recognised as one of the better World Cups, 2002 still incorporated the power bar for shots and crosses but with a steeper learning curve and customisation of the chances of being penalised by the match referee. Still, 2002 was more than a decade ago now, so are they still any good? Well, they're pretty low in the meaningless FIFA rankings, coming in at This puts them behind Iran and Japan in terms of Asian countries at the World Cup, provided you accept that Iran is part of Asia and not the nebulous concept of the Middle East being a continent. They actually only qualified on goal difference over Uzbekistan, which is even less of a real country than Belgium. They've gone to more World Cups than any other Asian country, but the first time they actually did anything of note at one was in 2002, and then again made it out of the groups in 2010. They also beat Italy in the first World Cup they made an appearance at in 1966, in what is now a famous victory in Korea. The supporters of the Korean national team are known as the Red Devils, much like the Belgian national team and also Manchester United Football Club. Don't get confused. So what are Korea bringing to the table this time around? Well, they aren't going to win. They probably won't even challenge to be the best Asian team this time around, with Japan and Iran bringing definitely better squads, and they'll probably struggle to make it out of the groups, with Belgium being the goon favourite team and also quite good, and Russia storming through games with the power of the glorious motherland. Algeria are garbage, so they might pick up a win there. Here's the team they'll be bringing: Goalkeepers All these guys play in Korea, and none are over 30. They probably suck, as do almost all Asian goalkeepers due to being short and weak. Jung Sung-ryong Kim Seung-gyu Lee Bum-young Defenders These guys all are a bit better probably. There's even one that plays for a real club, with Yun Suk-young playing for 'Arry's QPR. Kim Young-gwon is apparently a bit of a nutcase and is obsessed with Chinese model Ai Shangzhen. They aren't dating. Kim Chang-soo Yun Suk-young Kwak Tae-hwi Kim Young-gwon Hwang Seok-ho Lee Yong Hong Jeong-ho Kim Jin-su Midfielders These are again slightly better than the defenders, and again one of them plays at a real club, with Lee Chung-yong at Bolton. Kim Bo-kyung Ha Dae-sung Koo Ja-cheol Han Kook-young Park Jong-woo Ki Sung-yeung Lee Chung-yong Forwards These guys are the best, because they're the ones that score the goals. As you can see from his scout report, Son Heung-min is really good and has loads of potential, and even more ability. Park Chu-young plays for Arsenal, which is the best team I've mentioned so far, so he must be insanely good. Ji Dong-won will play for Dortmund next year, and they're even better. Haha his name is Dong. (it means dick) Son Heung-min Park Chu-young Lee Keun-ho Kim Shin-wook Ji Dong-won Go support Korea!
