At this rate, Hong Myung-bo's performance is a problem even if he goes to the World Cup finals.
The South Korean men's national soccer team, led by head coach Hong Myung-bo, drew 1-1 at home against Jordan in the eighth round of the third Asian qualifying round for the 2026 North-China World Cup at Suwon World Cup Stadium in Gyeonggi Province at 8 p.m. on the 25th.
South Korea, which had four wins and four draws in the third qualifying round with the draw, still maintained its top spot in Group B by a narrow margin.
The first goal came in the fifth minute of the first half. A corner kick curled up by Son's right foot from the left went straight to the goalie, and Lee Jae-sung, who rushed in from behind, lightly touched his left foot at the opportunity to score a goal.
South Korea, which was leading the match, failed to score an additional goal and allowed an equalizer in the end. At the 30th minute in the first half, Jordanian Altamari shot a left-footed shot from the right half-space in the box, and Cho blocked it well. However, the ball that was blocked fell in front of Mahmoud Almardi, who created a sensational goal with his right-footed shot that turned around with his back to Seol. In the end, the match ended in a draw with the goal.
Hong Myung-bo seemed to have an encouraging result in that he avoided powerhouses such as Qatar, Australia and Saudi Arabia, which participated in the 2022 Qatar World Cup, among the teams other than one port at the time of the third qualifying draw.
However, when I opened the lid, it was as if South Korea, ranked 23rd in FIFA, had lost four draws to Jordan, ranked 64th, Oman, and Palestine, ranked 80th, and 101st. This contrasts with how South Korea joined the North Korea-China World Cup as the world's No. 1 player excluding host countries, even though it has teamed up with countries in need such as Saudi Arabia, Australia, Indonesia, and China. 먹튀검증
The number of countries that advanced to the finals has increased from 32 to 48, which makes it more difficult for them to advance to the finals. However, the current level of performance is worrisome even if they go to the main stage.
