The Korea Republic national football team represents South Korea in international football competitions. The team, also known as South Korea, is recognized as Korea Republic by FIFA. It has often been considered Asia's most successful national team, since it made its debut at the 1948 Summer Olympics. South Korea has participated in seven World Cup final tournament, and became the first Asian nation to reach the semi-finals, doing so when it co-hosted the 2002 tournament. It currently holds the best FIFA World Cup record among Asian teams.^[1]

[edit] History

Since the 1950s, South Korea has emerged as a major football power in Asia, winning several prestigious Asian football championships, including the first two Asian Cup tournaments. The South Korean national team has also played in six consecutive World Cup finals from 1986, making a total of seven World Cup finals in all. In 1954 World Cup, they played 2 games with Hungary and Turkey. They lost to Hungary 0-9 and 0-7 to Turkey. It’s been suggested that the players failed to adapt to the cool playing conditions.

The 2002 FIFA World Cup, hosted jointly with Japan, was a sign of the rapid progress made in South Korean football. Led by Dutch coach Guus Hiddink and assistant coach Pim Verbeek, South Korea defeated Italy and Spain to become the first Asian national team to reach the World Cup semi-finals.

On June 8, 2005, South Korea qualified for their seventh World Cup by beating Kuwait 4-0 in Kuwait City.

The enthusiasm of the red-clad supporters, known as the "Red Devils", also made a big impression on viewers world-wide.After the team success, football had an explosion of popularity in the country, where the game had traditionally been less popular than other games, such as baseball, formerly the most popular spectator sport in the country.

During the 2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany, South Korea achieved their first World Cup victory outside of Asia by beating Togo 2-1 in Frankfurt on June 13. Against France, the team managed a late equalizer from Park Ji-Sung to end up with a 1-1 tie and this put them tied with Switzerland on top of their group. However, they were knocked out of the tournament after a 2-0 loss against Switzerland, while France advanced with a 2-0 win against Togo.

[edit] 2002 World Cup squad

The head coach of the 2002 World Cup Korea Republic team was Guus Hiddink.

[edit] 2006 World Cup squad

2006 FIFA World Cup head coach was Dick Advocaat.

The South Korean team for 2006 World Cup had ten veterans from the 2002 World Cup squad and had more World Cup goalscorers than any other nation heading into Germany: Ahn Jung-Hwan, Seol Ki-Hyeon, Lee Eul-Yong, Song Chong-Gug, and Park Ji-Sung [1].

[edit] 2006 World Cup information

South Korea won its opening game of the 2006 World Cup against Togo. After the opening 45 minutes, Togo was up 1-0 after a goal from Mohamed Kader. Togo had Jean-Paul Abalo sent off by English referee Graham Poll 10 minutes into the second half as a result of receiving his second yellow card for a trip on Park Ji Sung, and Lee Chun-Soo put away the resulting free-kick to tie the game. South Korea made the most of its one-man advantage and substitute Ahn Jung-Hwan scored the team's second goal with a deflected strike from 20 yards. The final score of the game was 2-1 to South Korea. It was the team's first World Cup finals victory outside Korea.

South Korea's next opponent in the World Cup 2006 was 1998 World Cup winners France on 18 June, in Leipzig. The result was a 1-1 draw. France gained an early lead after 9 minutes, through Thierry Henry, but South Korea earned a late equalizer in the 82nd minute when Park Ji-Sung flicked the ball over French goalkeeper Fabien Barthez and defender William Gallas and into the net.

South Korea's final game in the group phase was against Switzerland on 23 June 2006. South Korea lost 0-2, and did not advance to the Round of 16, arriving third in the group. The game against Switzerland had some controversy, which involved Switzerland's second goal in the 77th minute when the offside flag had been raised prior to it. The referee, Horacio Elizondo, waived the call and allowed the goal because a South Korean player touched the ball therefore canceling out the offside. There were also two controversial hand balls when, both times, Swiss player Patrick Müller touched the ball inside the Swiss penalty area^{[citation needed]}.

[edit] Asian Cup 2007

South Korea drew 1-1 with Saudi Arabia in the opening game, with a goal from Choi Sung Kuk, but conceding a penalty kick scored by Yasser Al-Qahtani. Their next game was a disastrous 2-1 defeat to Bahrain. As had been the case in the Saudi game, the Koreans were unable to hold on to a lead, scoring early on through Kim Do Heon, only to be overturned with goals from Salman Isa and Ismaeel Abdullatif. In the final group game, the Koreans defeated host nation Indonesia 1-0 with a goal from Kim Jung Woo. They progressed as the Saudi Arabia defeated Bahrain 4-0 to book the Koreans a quarter-final tie against the Iran.

South Korea defeated Iran in the quarter-finals, 4-2 on penalties, after a 0-0 draw in regulation time. Facing the same Iran team that had gone to the 2006 World Cup, the game was highly competitive for 120 minutes. Fortunately for Korea, veteran goalkeeper Lee Woon Jae, who had starred in South Korea's penalty shootout victory over Spain at the 2002 World Cup, saved the penalties from Iran captain Mehdi Mahdavikia and forward Rasoul Khatibi. Kim Do Heon failed to score, but Lee Chun Soo and substitutes Cho Jae Jin and Kim Sang Sik all succeeded from the spot past Vahid Talebloo, who had been brought on specifically for the shootout. Kim Jung Woo then scored Korea's last penalty to send his nation into the semi-finals.

Korea Republic played the resurgent Republic of Iraq in the semi-finals. Korea created a number of good chances, many of which fell to Lee Chun-Soo; Iraq, led by star striker Younis Mahmoud, also created a number of good chances, including one that hit the post and was cleared off the line by Kim Jin-Kyu. However, Korea were once again unable to break the deadlock after 120 minutes and, for the second time in four days, found themselves in a penalty shootout. Lee Chun-Soo, Cho Jae-Jin, and Lee Dong-Gook converted their penalties, as did their counterparts in the Iraqi side. However, Yeom Ki-Hoon saw his penalty saved by Iraq goalkeeper Noor Sabri; after Ahmad Mnajed converted his spot kick, Kim Jung-Woo's penalty hit the post, meaning that Korea had once again failed to reach the final of the Asian Cup. However, Korea Republic coach Pim Verbeek stated that the tournament was a good experience and exposure for his young and developing team.

Korea played Japan in the third place play-off. They won the game through yet another penalty shootout, their third in the tournament, after Japan was unable to break the deadlock despite playing against a 10 man squad stripped of its entire coaching staff. Pim Verbeek announced his resignation as national manager after the game.
