With the defeat of Japan and South Korea Asian challenge ends in Qatar world cup.

December 5, 2022 7:52pm CST
It is very disappointing that Japan and South Korea surrendered before Croatia and Brazil. Both ended their journey in 2nd round. Japan started with a lot of promise defeated Germany and Spain in group stage. Unless the Asian teams create strategy to face big teams there will be new champions. The quarter final line up shows same old horses England, France, Argentina, Brazil, Holland, Croatia.

Oh that's sad ! I had expected at least one among Japan and South Korea to proceed, especially from the Japanese team. Yes, there is a progress but still more catching up to do. Is the Spain vs Morocco match scheduled today?

At least some of the lesser known teams might be big challengers in the future.

It's great that tere were two teams in the second round. The Asian teams are strong, but still don't seem good enough to make it to the semis or finals
