The World Cup is the true test of national soccer.
"In the 2002 FIFA World Cup, South Korea reached the semi-finals, an incredible achievement. In their group match, they defeated the highly fancied Portugal. In the Round of 16, the South Korea Soccer Team played against Italy and claimed an electrifying 2-1 victory from Jung Hwan Ahn's golden goal. Against Spain in the quarter-final, the match was decided by penalty shootouts, which they won. They lost 1-0 to Germany in the semi-final. Eventually South Korea came fourth in the championship and were awarded the 'FIFA Award for the Most Entertaining Team'.
South Korea is undoubtedly the most successful soccer-playing nation in Asia. This time it is South Korea's sixth successive World Cup appearance. In their final qualifying round for Germany 2006, South Korea Soccer Teama opened with a home win over Kuwait in February 2005. Then they lost to Saudi Arabia 2-0 in Saudi Arabia in their second match on 25 March 2005. They defeated Uzbekistan 2-1 in Seoul and drew 1-1 in the away match. A 4-0 home win over Kuwait secured their place in the World Cup finals. "

Nah, Koreans are good.
This year, in the U20s, BOTH Korean teams made it through, so that tells you something.
If anyone dared tell me Portuguese people sucked at it I would smack them!! But no one is that stupid.

I played in Korea and they are as good as any where else I have played. Good skill and pace. And VERY good sportsmanship. Some of the nicest people I have ever met.
These people who are saying these things to you are not your friends

Actually Turkey won 3rd place in the 2002 FIFA world cup. Korea would have never even made it that far, if FIFA didn't gift them their match against Spain.
