Will the national soccer team 'Hong Myung-bo' confirm its early advance to the World Cup finals in eight games like its predecessor 'Bentu'.
The national soccer team, led by head coach Hong Myung-bo, will play the 7th and 8th rounds of Group B in the third Asian qualifying round for the 2026 North-China World Cup against Oman (Koyang) on the 20th and Jordan (Suwon) on the 25th.
Korea, which has four wins and two draws (14 points), is leading the league by three points over Iraq (11 points). If the team wins both Oman and Jordan, it will secure at least the second place in the group, and successfully advance to the World Cup finals for the 11th consecutive time regardless of the results of the remaining two matches in the third round. Currently, Jordan (score 9), Oman (score 6), Kuwait (score 4), and Palestine (score 3) are ranked third to sixth.
The team has a similar trajectory to Bento's team, who advanced to the round of 16 teams at the 2022 World Cup finals in Qatar. At the time, led by UAE national team coach Paulo Bento (Portugal), Korea competed in the final preliminary match with five Middle Eastern countries like Hong Myung-bo. It confirmed its advance to the finals after eight out of 10 matches, with six wins and two draws. If Hong wins both consecutive matches, he will also head to the World Cup with six wins and two draws.
Early advancement to the finals has the advantage of switching to the "World Cup Mode" early on. At that time, head coach Bento improved the completeness of the rear build-up, which fixed and pursued the best 11, centered on the veteran European team. The 9th and 10th rounds of the final preliminary round, which did not mean much to the result, also sent out a large number of main agents.
However, if Hong Myung-bo is confirmed to advance to the finals early in the upcoming two consecutive games, chances are high that a different picture will unfold. Since taking the helm, Hong has been proactively drawing changes of generations. He did not put too much pressure on veterans who have led the national team since the 2010s, including Son Heung-min (Tottenham), Lee Jae-sung (Mainz), Hwang Hee-chan (Wolverhampton), and Kim Min-jae (Bayern Munich). The team's main players are Lee Kang-in (Paris Saint-Germain), Bae Joon-ho (Stoke City), Um Ji-sung (Swansea City) and Oh Hyun-kyu (Henk).
Team Korea's "captain" Son Heung-min and Lee Jae-seong will be in their mid-30s next year when the World Cup finals will take place. Hong is determined to increase his future resources by looking ahead to the Asian Cup and other events. If he succeeds in advancing to the finals early on, chances are high that he will seek to expand his competitiveness through various experiments in the 9th and 10th rounds. He will be able to speed up his pursuit of new and old harmony. 안전놀이터
Lee Kang-in, Seol Young-woo (Zvezda) and Hwang In-beom (Feyenoord) returned home on the 18th to join the national team. The team will be complete on the 19th, a day before the match against Oman.
