S. Korea

Yang Min-Hyeok has been included in South Korea's squad for the 2026 Asian Games 🇰🇷

Among World Cups played in the 21st century, home-soil advantage has a strong history of lifting teams to the quarterfinals and beyond. Co-host South Korea made a run to the 2002 semifinals, still its best-ever World Cup finish. Germany reached the semifinals four years later, as did Brazil in 2014. Russia also made a run to the quarterfinals in 2018. As for this tournament’s co-hosts, Canada bowed out in the last 16 against Morocco, while Mexico was beaten by England on Sunday night in Mexico City.

Javier Hernández shares his thoughts on Mexico's performance against South Korea 🇲🇽

This was a poor game but South Korea were particularly disappointing, even if they had that late, late chance to draw. They made the semi-finals on home soil in 2002 but have not been beyond the round of 16 since then. They will do very well to get that far on tonight’s evidence. Mexico won, so they won’t care. But South Korea… what was that? 📝 @mjshrimper

Seattle’s Pioneer Sq as Mexico defeats South Korea

Mexico are the first country to qualify for the last 32 of the 2026 World Cup. Luis Romo's goal following a terrible mistake from South Korea goalkeeper Kim Seung-gyu sealed Javier Aguirre's side's place in the next round. Mexico had their keeper, Raul Rangel, to thank for his sublime stop to deny Cho Gue-sung's header, when it looked for all the world that it was going to go in.
