2026-06-30 07:00:14
South Korea captain Son Heung-min apologised for the team’s early World Cup exit and asked supporters to offer encouragement rather than criticism, saying he will “run to death” for the nation’s football fans. South Korea won their opener in Mexico but lost their next two matches, then were beaten 1-0 by South Africa to finish third in Group A and outside the eight best third-placed teams; Son was dropped from the starting lineup and came on after halftime as his 2026 World Cup goal drought continued, according to Yahoo Sports. Head coach Hong Myung-bo resigned on Sunday and President Lee Jae Myung called for an investigation into the team’s performance.
