Day of triple victory for the South Korea national team with the comeback over Portugal, the consequent elimination of Uruguay and the guarantee of a place in the round of 16 of the 2022 World Cup after a dramatic match, defined in stoppage time.
On the networks, the feat of the Korean team caused euphoria due to the improbable character of the conquest, in the twists and turns that only a championship like the World Cup can offer and, also, due to the fact that the pop culture of the Asian country has many fans in Brazil, which now contemplate an eventual confrontation between the Brazilian and Korean teams in the next stage of the competition.
With the departure, “Korea” and “I love you, World Cup” are among the most commented subjects on Twitter in the early afternoon of this Friday (2).
In particular, two players from the Korean national team stood out and conquered the net: Son Heung-min and Hwang Hee-chan, responsible for the pass and the winning goal for Korea, respectively. The left winger, Son, is a Korean idol and a friend of the Brazilian striker Richarlison.
It is very likely that Brazil will be first in the group and will face the Korean team, but it is necessary to wait for the end of the games. If it depended only on Brazilian Twitter, the meeting with Korea would already be scheduled.
