The South Korean team was determined to give it their all on the pitch. For every opponent South Korea was a team to be afraid of. That's the reason South Korea reached all the way through to the semi final. Beating world class teams along the way. Check it out and let me know what you think of the 2002 South Korean team.

[TwoFootball]

Yes, they wrote a new World Cup story: the biggest robbery story in the history of the competition.

[NouvalPahlevi]

They write their own history as they see fit the biggest scandal in football history

[MamiSasazakiOFFICIAL]

korean using money to wrote history wc 2002 lol

[taehyoonkim]

Korean here. Wtf was wrong with fifa and my country

[person-cecr]

Faced italy spain and Germany in that order. Then in that order those countries became wc champions

[pikaeduy]

Oh yes the wonderful history of how they robbed Italy and Spain, truly inspirational

[bananaempijama]

The referees made history, south Korea just went along

[tiagobarbosa]

You forgot the part where Portugal USA Italy and Spain were absolutly robbed in that World Cup. If the games had good referies South Korea would never past the groups

[水の人]

This is a disgrace.
As a fellow Asian, I don't know why Koreans are so proud of this record.

[sushobondey]

They wrote the history of cheating by fixing matches

[Nevio_debrito]

Yeah they wrote history of being the most unfair team that ever played a World Cup. Corrupted referees helped them get through in the K.O. stages until the semifinal. They would have already been out against Italy if it wasn't for that blind referee not giving them a penalty and allowing a wrong disallowed goal.

[evanmedcraft]

Correct title: "South Korea plays anti-football like cavemen, pays off the refs, and faces no accountability for obvious cheating"

[lustwaffe]

Fun fact: before the italy match, the korean manager Gus Hiddink called the Korean fanclub organizer and told him to get the crowd crazy whenever the ref whistled in favor of italy. He wanted them to scare the ref, because he really wanted to make use of their homefield advantage. And their crowd WAS legendary crazy.
Pretty sad that so many Mediterranean countries feel robbed by the ref, completely ignoring their faults and the overall atmosphere. Homefield advantage is real, even without paying off refs.

[akmalmuratov]

The worst participating of a national team in the world cup history ever, the level of unfair desicions is just crazy

[yugendrakumar]

"Turkey made history in World cup 2002"

[froggerino]

POV: You are watching this when South Korea has won against Portugal 2-1 and advanced.

[SurvivalHorror]

When South Korea made everyone to feel sick from football . Disgusting referee scandals against Italy and Spain . The worst World Cup ever .

[joesakic]

2022 Morocco told 2002 South Korea, "hold my beer."

[mantralibre]

Italy won that World Cup in the real World. Too above all other teams. Total class.

[rhtrohitbei]

Most controversial FIFA World Cup till date, they didn't even deserve to be in the semi. Italy, Spain and got close with Germany. Disgrace.
