Can South Korea maintain consistency?

South Korea doesn’t have a wondefull record. Despite qualifying for four successive tournaments between 1986 and 1998, South Korea had not won a match before their 2002 finals as co-hosts.Success in 2002 was built on dogged determination and high-tempo pressing and little has changed.

This team is also known as The Taegeuk Warriors. The Taeguek symbol is the one in the centre of the Korean flag, representing yin and yang, nature working in perfect unity. The Taegeuk Warriors.

There are some excellent warriors in this team .Park Ji-sung is Sir Alex Ferguson's go-to guy for those awkward away fixtures in Europe but "Three-Lungs" Park will not stand out for his work-rate as he does at Old Trafford but his drive from midfield.Park Chu-young occupies the role once held by Emmanuel Adebayor in the Monaco attack but doesn't quite share the Togolese striker's size, skill or penchant for winding the rest of the world up. Ahn Jung-hwan was the darling of Korean football after scoring the winner against Italy in 2002 and marrying a former Miss Korea but he then failed at a number of European clubs. At 34, he is not much of a team player but this is his swansong.

South Korea has not been a consistent performing team. Still we may hope for it’s better future and success in world cup 2010.
