    After bittersweet draw, Korea left with big task
    Korea secured a spot at next year’s World Cup after a scoreless draw against Uzbekistan in its final qualification match in Tashkent, Tuesday, but the team left Korean football fans fuming over their poor performance. With the draw, the Koreans advanced to their ninth consecutive World Cup, but the team has exposed the frailties of the squad while earning 15 points from four wins, three draws and three losses in the qualification round.

    History, good or bad, waits for Korea in Uzbekistan
    It comes to this, precisely what the suits at the Korea Football Association (KFA) did not want. South Korea travels to Uzbekistan on Tuesday for the final group game in the third qualification round for the 2018 World Cup, needing a result to book a place in Russia.

    Who's to blame: fans, turf or players?
    After the Iran match, Son Heung-min blamed the stadium turf for having negatively affected his performance. “I was upset because of the grass,” he said. “If there’s anyone who thinks that we can play well on a soccer field like this, he or she must be very optimistic. People who have played or are familiar with soccer would know how important the grass condition is for the pl...

    S. Korean football captain blames fans over draw
    One of the advantages of competing on home soil is having the support of partisan fans in the stands. The biggest of athletes thrive in the most pressure-packed moments, and they are able to feed off the energy of the spectators, rather than wilt under the burden of expectations. South Korean men's football captain Kim Young-gwon, on the other hand, had difficulty playing bef...

    Korea misses chance to qualify for World Cup
    South Korea’s hopes of qualification for the 2018 World Cup hang in the balance after a frustrating 0-0 tie against a 10-man Iran at Seoul World Cup Stadium, Thursday. It means that the Taeguk Warriors have to go to Uzbekistan on Tuesday needing to win to be absolutely sure of a place in Russia next summer, though a tie will suffice if Syria fails to win in Iran.
