World Cup Appearances:
France 1998 was South Korea's 5th appearance in the World Cup Finals.
Best World Cup Performance:
South Korea can often prove troublesome to the favourites as they battle on valiantly but
have yet to get out of the Group Stage.
The co-host of the next World Cup, in 2002, managed to earn a draw
against Belgium in their last game; although they were already out of the tournament and
had sacked their coach after the second defeat.
Sang Chul Yoo's 71st minute equaliser sent a siren through the Bay of
Mexico. The Mexicans, who were losing 0-2 to the Dutch at the time, clawed back to earn
themselves a draw and qualification ahead of Belgium.
