In the qualifier clash against Uzbekistan, it was South Korea that inadvertently gave the Uzbeks a runaround by clumsily prying the necessary 3 points towards the golden ticket for Russia 2018 during a stalemate goalless draw in which they had to wait out for news that Syria had indeed lost in Iran to be able celebrate their 10th appearance. The South Korean ensemble thusly and laboriously became the third team from Asia to qualify for the 2018 World Cup, besides Iran and Japan.

South Korea Key Players
Star Son Heung-min is the centerpiece of the team’s attacking efforts, while skipper Ki Sung-yeung –approaching 100 caps-- is a balancing influence in the group. Heading for his FIFA World Cup number three, the skipper is a gifted midfielder from the England Premier League, at Swansea. Koo Jacheol, on the other hand, is aggressive and tends to midfield goals. Coach Shin Tae-yong was appointed in 2017 after Uli Stielike was dismissed; he spearheaded the Korea Republic through a rocky qualification scenario towards their 10th World Cup. A former midfielder for the Taeguk Warriors, he led Seongnam Ilhwa Chunma to win in the 2010 Asian Champions League after retiring.
In the ten qualifier games, the Korean ensemble lost six and picked up just one point in just five games. What does this say about their qualifying?

This is something to reflect on regarding how the South Korea betting odds will progress for this tournament.
