Taegeuk Warriors Eye Redemption in Thai Showdown
The Korean national football team touched down in Bangkok on Sunday carrying the weight of a nation’s expectations on their shoulders. After a lackluster 1-1 home draw against Thailand in their World Cup qualifying match just days prior, the Taegeuk Warriors find themselves in desperate need of a confidence-boosting victory on Thai soil.
The disappointing result in Seoul left a sour taste, as the capacity crowd of 65,000 at the World Cup Stadium witnessed the home side squander a first-half lead provided by talisman Son Heung-min.
