Will Korean Football in Crisis Overcome 'Pride Shock' by catching Jordan

Will the South Korean national soccer team, which suffered a big shock with its worst performance, overcome the "Pride Shock" in the match against Jordan.

South Korea will play the eighth Group B match against Jordan at Suwon World Cup Stadium on the 25th in the third Asian qualifying round for the 2026 FIFA North-China World Cup.

This is a must-see game. The team failed to take advantage of the home ground at all in its seventh game against Oman on the 20th, drawing 1-1.
As a result, Korea only added one more point and recorded four wins, three draws, and 15 points. It is still No. 1 in Group B, but the gap with Jordan and Iraq is only three points.

In addition, even if South Korea wins Game 8 by drawing against Oman, it will not be able to confirm its advance to the World Cup finals on its own.
A situation in which South Korea must seize the eighth game and hope that Iraq will draw or lose the match against the Palestinians. If Iraq wins, its World Cup qualification will be over by June.

If South Korea loses to Jordan, hell will unfold. The possibility of South Korea's elimination, which has succeeded in advancing to the World Cup finals for 10 consecutive times by 2022, will also increase considerably.

Jordan already beat South Korea in the semifinals of the 2023 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Qatar Asian Cup. The team also tied the game 2-2.
Therefore, even if South Korea draws or loses to Jordan in Game 8, it is not something to be surprised by, unlike the Oman shock. 메이저놀이터

In the last seven matches, Korea also tied Oman, one of the weakest teams, with only one goal. Jordan is not in a position to be looked down on.
The crisis started by failing to control its arrogance. Attention is focusing on whether Korea will take a step closer to advancing to the World Cup finals for the 11th consecutive time by taking Jordan as shown on Saturday.
