- Why does the Korean national team have high expectations for the Japanese national team's match against Sweden?

- How is the Korean media evaluating this defeat?

- What are the chances of the Korean national team making it through to the group stage?
- The Korean national team's breakthrough will depend on the results of other groups, but a victory for the Japanese national team against Sweden is a major condition. There are many other factors involved, including the actions of the Australian national team, so the probability of a breakthrough is unclear at this point.
- What kind of comments did the Korean national team coach make after the defeat?
- The coach stated, ``We did our best to advance through the group stage, but we were not able to achieve any results.We have no choice but to wait for the results of the other games.''While acknowledging their defeat, he also expressed his expectations for the results of the other games.
- What impact will this defeat have on the Korean soccer world?
- The humiliation of defeat means more than just the score for the Korean soccer world, and will remain a strategic and mental challenge going forward. The current situation in which Japan is competing against other players could become an opportunity to reconsider plans to rebuild and strengthen the domestic soccer world.
- What were the reasons why the Korean national team, which made it through the qualifying rounds, was defeated in the group stage?
- In the qualifying round, they overwhelmed the Middle Eastern teams, and in the group stage they showed their ability by defeating Uruguay in the first match, but the defeat against South Africa brought everything back to a blank slate. Part of the reason for the defeat was the competition in the ability of the same group.
