I knew it would be difficult if we conceded an early goal, but the players reacted very well. And the penalty made it more difficult for us mentally as well. Asian football is on the up. But there's still a gap between us and the rest of the world, and we need to work harder to close the gap.
Huh Jung-Moo, Korea Republic coach

Nigeria would have won if this was 12 years ago. But Korea have improved, while Nigeria have gone in the other direction
