FT π°π· 2-0 π΅πΎ
More than the win itself, the real takeaway here is that Korea weathered the storm with a heavily experimental setup in the last 30 minutes, without Sonny and Inbeom, whilst Minjae was limited to a support role at the back, and even found a way to extend their lead.
βΌοΈ Oh Hyeon-gyu and Lee Kang-in partnership is a key project for Hong Myung-boβs staff. Theyβve been either starting together or both coming on in the second half when thereβs more space in behind to attack in transition, and theyβve created big goals against Mexico and Paraguay.

Great job @tuhon.bsky.social for hosting/editing and to @realstevescores.bsky.social for the expert insights into the KNT. Also debut for Joel Kim- had the inside perspectives on Bae Jun-ho in particular at Stoke and how that translates to the KNT.
πΎ FT Korea 4-0 Kuwait. This was never the goal in itself, but Korea finish as the only undefeated side in #AsianQualifiers, a feat they last accomplished in 2010 when they were captained by Park Ji-sung. Regulars have been rested, young players have stepped up. A good result.
Itβs been awhile since I was officially back in the game - super stoked to have been invited to the Fairpoint β½οΈFootball talking π°π·β½οΈ with the best in the bizπ€ just how important will this upcoming World Cup qualifier be for Korea and/or the damage if they canβt finish the job? Find out by tuning in!
π FT Iraq 0-2 Korea. With the win in Basra, Korea secure their 11th successive qualification to the World Cup. Only Brazil, Germany, Argentina, and Spain have currently ongoing streaks that are longer than Koreaβs.
