South Korea Hub
The reason for the South Korea national football team's disappointing performance in the 2026 FIFA World Cup may be due to tactical issues with Son Heung-Min, according to Japanese media. Throughout the group stage, the team was plagued by controversy over their performance, and ultimately finished without any attack points.
Son Heung-Min's Performance
Son Heung-Min started in the matches against Czech Republic and Mexico, and came on as a substitute against South Africa, but failed to score or assist in any of the matches.
South Korea's Tactics
South Korea failed to provide enough opportunities for Son Heung-Min, the best attacker in Asia. The team also lacked tactical support to utilize Son's speed and decision-making skills.
Current Situation
| Currently, South Korea is ranked 3rd in the FIFA World Cup 2026 and failed to advance to the round of 32. | Rank | Points |
|---|---|---|
| 3 | 3 |
Future Outlook
The South Korea national football team needs to improve their tactics and change the way they utilize Son Heung-Min in the future.
