Yup. Instead, Rhee led us to nowhere until Park took over. Then 30+ years of military dictatorship by Park, Chun DH, Roh, .... Things could have been different for sure. Good or bad, who can say.
Ok, I've been out of the loop with the Korean NT so can someone fill me in? I know they beat Maldives recently so does that mean they advanced to the next round of qualification? Actually, I was never too sure of how the qualification process worked. Hard enough trying to figure out the CONCACAF system for the US.
Yes, they advance to next round. 8 teams will compete for 4.5 spots. There will be 2 groups of 4. Each team will play the other 3 teams home and away. Top two from each group will advance to WC06.
