"Let's not go to the World Cup."

Some even say that. It is the World Cup that soccer fans should be most excited about, but they do not have any expectations at all. This is because the Korean national soccer team is also keen on the Asian stage.

Coach Hong Myung-bo, who took the helm of the Korean national team in September last year, had four wins and four draws in eight matches of the third Asian qualifying round for the 2026 FIFA World Cup in North America, including the draw against Jordan on Saturday. He has posted one win and three draws in four home matches. South Korea, which claims to be the "dominant of Asia," has become a "paper tiger" at its home turf.

Coach Hong Myung-bo, who has led the national team for more than half a year, is still pointed out that he still has no clear tactics and directions. He leads the game by occupying the ball longer than the opponent, but every time he is criticized for not being substantial. He professed that there is a plausible method to break down the dense defense, but it has rarely been realized.

Already, the World Cup in North Korea, China and the U.S. is a year and two months away. South Korea is likely to confirm its trip to North Korea, China and the U.S. in the 9th and 10th round of the third qualifying round in June. However, there is no hope that South Korea will show good soccer and perform well in the World Cup. It is a natural result because it has struggled against Asian underdogs. It is difficult to expect a 'lose well' at the World Cup because Korea's own color is not seen.

Calls for the resignation of Hong Myung-bo could hardly be louder. Despite the fact that the coach had gone through unfair appointment procedures, he still failed to regain public support. Rather, public opinion is at its worst due to poor performance. Although Hong values "one team," he is unable to mix players and fans.

The biggest problem is that the coach, who has to know well about the team's situation, is not even aware of the cause of the slump. When asked why his team's home turf was showing poor performance after the match against Jordan, Hong said, "Well, I don't know." "We haven't been able to produce results at home, but we haven't exactly figured out (the background)," he said. "It feels like we can't focus on the mood." "We need to keep improving those areas going forward," he said, adding an empty promise.

At this rate, the picture is drawn of replacing the head coach after the elimination of the World Cup group stage. In the end, you will repeat the past again. I don't want anyone to see the ending and the boring drama with some end.

Hong Myung-bo's six-month journey, which still has not won the support of fans, is actually a failure. Because so many problems are revealed in terms of the game, positive keywords such as No. 1 in the third qualifying group and no loss in eight games since taking office are naturally not attracting attention. Although it is close to advancing to the World Cup finals, shameful performance is always on the cutting board. 토토사이트

It is absurd to hope for a good performance on the world stage without being overwhelmed in Asia. With 440 days left until the World Cup, the symptoms of early elimination are repeated. Is it really okay to go to the world stage without any diagnosis.
