Look at what it means to South Korea after starting the 2026 World Cup with a 2-1 win over Czechia ❤️

South Korea get off to winning start after rallying from goal down to beat Czechia

FT: come from behind win for Korea, they beat Czechia 2:1 and 3 crucial points to help their World Cup campaign- Hwang In-beom with a sick move and finish, then 13 mins later assist for Oh to take the lead. Several heart attack moments for 🇰🇷 as defending the lead, Kim Seung-gyu with 2 HUGE saves…

Paik to Hwang In-beom—-cutback pass to Oh Hyeon Gyu (who subbed in for Son) knocks the ball into the keeper and bounces into the net!!!! Goaaaaaaaalll!!!! Korea 2:1 Czechia with 3 mins left

Hwang In-beom delivers a magnificent goal, his feint takes out 2 defenders and the keeper, leaving Hwang to scoop the ball over the outstretched hands of the keeper and into corner of the net! Korea 1:1 Czechia (cue water break)

Korea staring at disaster after Czechia scores on a long throw in. Korea 0:1 Czechia 60th min

HT Korea 0:0 Czechia. 🇰🇷 not ruthless w/ the chances created, which could bite them in the 2nd half. Lee Kang-in electric for the first 20 mins but then didn’t see much of the ball the latter of the half. Son’s been growing into the game, looked frustrated that he hasn’t gotten ball into the net

Korea starting brighter than Czechia, thanks to Lee Kang-in. He’s been everywhere and beautifully conducting. Son however has not been at his best

Jens Castrop not in the XI…strange decision

So after 2 test matches in Utah, Korea has its first World Cup group stage match on Thurs. Jinseok was there in Utah and now has your preview to check out vs Czechia -what are the keys for Korea in order to get a vital result? www.taegukwarriors.com/korea-republ...

More of a footnote, Hwang Hee-chan played 90 minutes for an already relegated Wolves at already relegated Burnley. 1:1 and now the season is over, questions await his future - but first - he’ll report for the Korea camp in prep for the World Cup

The Starting XI for #LAFCvSEA #LAFC | @BMO_US

Had a super fun time on the #DifferentStripesPodcast this week; #CaseyPhair from @angelcity.com joined us to talk about her 🌏⚽ journey, #BTS, #KDramas, and more! Listen here: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Casey Phair started. It’s 1-1 over an hour in

Jen Castrop, age 22 of German and Korean ancestry, becomes first biracial player to join Korea’s World Cup squad. The Borrussia Mönchengladbach midfielder should give a shot in the arm to Korea’s porous midfield in recent friendlies. www.nytimes.com/athletic/728...

Both Koreans started and Jeon Yu Gyeong scored in a win

Lee Han Beom scored the winner (and only goal) as Midtjylland win the cup! Cho Gue Sung also started the match.

KFA release WC squad.

Nice Choo Hyo Joo scored the second!

Two out of three Koreans start for @ottrapidfc.bsky.social

Turns out Lee Kang In had an ankle injury. Doesn’t sound too serious but he’s not going to be in team training for a few days.

Pretty shady PK but Yang Hyun Jun with a chance to win the title this weekend.

Yang Hyun Jun starts and scores but it’s 1-1 in the derby.

𝙎𝘼𝙉𝙂𝙔 ⚡️ “You are not going to catch him” 🗣️

U17 Women Asian Cup, South Korea won the first 2 group games vs Philippines and Taiwan by combined score of 9 to 0. They play North Korea tomorrow (7:30am US EST/8:30pm Korea time) who also won both group matches (combined score of 18-0).

Positive news from Steve Han on X today: Lee Jaesung is getting close to returning from his foot injury and Hwang Inbeom is in Korea for rehab and hoping to join KNT for their pre-World Cup camp in Salt Lake City on May 18. @koreafootabroad.bsky.social @taegeukwarrior.bsky.social

All three Koreans started in a 4-0 win

Also Yang Hyun Jun won goal of the year

Yang Hyun Jun won Celtic young player of the year!

Lee Geum Min started and BCFC are champs of WSL2 and earn promotion!

Yang Hyun Jun played 70 and Celtic are up one. Hong Hyun Seok is on the bench.

Son may not be scoring MLS goals this season (yet) for LAFC, but he’s racked up tons of assists, including 2 yesterday in CONCACAF Champions League semi leg 1 to beat Toluca 2:1. He has combined 14 assists in both CCL and MLS competitions. Here’s his 2nd assist last night:

It’s incredibly worrisome how this season is ending up ahead of WC. Injuries, benchings, and now red card means a ton of uncertainty and lack of match minutes for much of KNT.

Lee Kang In scores! Hakimi shoots at GK and the rebound falls to Lee Kang In who calmly jukes GK and pushes it in.

Lee Kang In assist on the corner. Beraldo who has somehow been best player today heads in.

Jeong Woo Yeong remains out with unspecified injury: www.ligainsider.de/wooyeong-jeo...

Cho So Hyun is already a co-captain of her new club!

Oh Hy(eon) Gyu!

A column on the public’s disgust with FIFA, the impending World Cup and what’s at stake for soccer in America this summer …

Kim Shin Ji named to PFA SWPL team of the year!

Hong Hyun Seok and Kim Min Su start

Lee Tae Seok starts with Lee Kang Hee returning to the bench.

Yang Hyun Jun (e+) and Oh Hyeok Gyu start

Lee Jae Sung remains out. Apparently has a broken toe that threatens the rest of his season.

Jeong Sang Bin back in starting XI scores a route one header

FC Seoul crushed Ulsan HD in a battle between 1st and 2nd in the K League 1 table, FT Ulsan 1:4 Seoul. Seoul are surprising everyone, and the gap at the top extends to 6 points. While the season is still early, will either Ulsan or 3rd place Jeonbuk able to catch up w/ Seoul?

U20Women AsianCup semifinal a redux b/w North & South Korea. It was always likely S Korea would lose to the North but unlike the 5:0 blowout in group stage, this time S Korea closes out their tournament with a more respectable 3:0 loss. 🇰🇷⚽️nevertheless qualify for the U20 Women World Cup
