Strengths

Son Heung-min (13 goals) is a world-class talisman. Unbeaten qualifying campaign with just 8 goals conceded. 2.05 goals per game. Strong defensive record (0.84 conceded).

Weaknesses

Only 4 losses but 12 draws in 37 matches — draws too many games. Tournament knockouts have been rare since 2002. Group A opponent quality is unclear (TBD playoff spot).

Key Players

Son Heung-min (13 goals), Kim Min-jae, Lee Kang-in, Hwang Hee-chan

Our Prediction

Should advance from Group A. Could be a Round of 16 team with an outside chance of going further.
