FIFA World Cup 2022: Enticing matches set for South Korea at Qatar Football World Cup
With the upcoming FIFA World Cup in Qatar, South Korea can expect some exciting duels, without a lack of interesting context. The draw for the football match took place on Friday in the host capital of Doha. South Korea is in Group H with Ghana, Uruguay, and Portugal.

Games will start on November
21, but the Group G and H teams will be the last to embark on their journey,
with their first game scheduled for November 24.
South Korea is in Group H with Ghana, Uruguay, and Portugal |
South Korea avoided teams like defending champions France and perennial contenders Brazil, despite not having an easy group at the World Cup.
Group H will have some
subtitle names. South Korea is led by Tottenham's top scorer Son Heung-min. Son
is currently joint second in the Premier League with 13 goals. The 29-year-old
will aim to become the second South Korean player to score in three consecutive
World Cups after former midfielder Park Ji-sung.
The son, one goal behind in
the Premier League, is Cristiano Ronaldo, the Portuguese star returning for his
second stint with Manchester United. With five FIFA Ballon d'Or awards to his
name, Ronaldo is widely regarded as one of the greatest players of all time. He
has won numerous titles during his career, including five Champions League
titles, but the World Cup has put him off. His closest came to his World Cup
debut in 2006 when Portugal lost to France in the semi-finals on penalties.
Ronaldo, 37, may not get
another chance after this year's game.
South Korean fans hold a
collective grudge against Ronaldo. In July 2019, Ronaldo visited Seoul with
then-Italian club Juventus to play an exhibition game with the K-League
All-Stars. The Seoul World Cup Stadium was packed with some 65,000 fans, and
the fans who went to see Ronaldo went home angry and disappointed, the biggest
star in the room, the one everyone was watching, not even from the couch.
Angry fans are suing local
game organizers for partial refunds of their tickets in separate court
decisions in 2020 and 2021.
In another interesting
context, Portuguese-born South Korean coach Paulo Bento will try to beat his
home country in his first World Cup as a backup to Korea.
The two countries have only
met once in the group stage of the 2002 World Cup, which was jointly hosted by
South Korea and Japan. South Korea won 1-0 after Park Ji-sung's goal, with
Bento playing the entire game as a midfielder. Qatar FIFA World Cup fans can buy Korea Republic Vs Portugal Tickets from our website.
Portugal defeated Turkey and
North Macedonia in the European qualifiers to qualify for this year's World
Cup. The fans here don't have fond memories of Uruguay either.
South Korea and Ghana will face each other at the World Cup for the first time |
Suarez still plays for
Atletico Madrid in La Liga. He scored 21 goals in 32 games last season and nine
in 28 this season.
He has played everywhere and
should be one of the few defenders of the opposition. In the South American
qualifiers for the World Cup, he was in second place with eight goals.
Uruguay finished third in
that race, well behind Brazil and Argentina and only ahead of Ecuador. Uruguay
scored 22 goals in 18 games but also conceded 22.
South Korea and Ghana will
face each other at the World Cup for the first time this year. So far, they
have played six head-to-head matches, with three wins and three defeats each.
Ghana's last game was a 4-0 win in a friendly in Miami on June 9, 2014.
It was South Korea's last
friendly before that year's World Cup in Brazil. After that humiliating defeat
to Ghana, South Korea was eliminated from the World Cup group stage, tied with
Russia, and lost back-to-back to Algeria and Belgium.
Ghana took the World Cup by
beating Nigeria by an away goal in the African qualifiers.
Portugal is the
highest-ranked team in Group H in 8th place, followed by Uruguay (13th), South
Korea (29th), and Ghana (60th).
