Sungju Chamdeul Farm
[Sports Korea Reporter Lee Jung-chul] Down by 1 point but not increasing attacking numbers. It was a different development from the Mexico match where more forwards were deployed. Suspicions are rising that they didn't push forward aggressively to secure an advantageous goal differential position even if they lost and finished 3rd in the group.
In BBC's live broadcast reader reactions, [they] raised suspicions of "intentional loss by 1 point." [The argument was that] even if Korea lost by 1 point, they could still advance to the Round of 32 as 3rd place in the group, so they consistently played defensively just to avoid a larger point differential loss and ended up losing by 1 point.
One reader said, "Am I the only one who saw it this way? I got the feeling Korea did almost nothing to save this match," and many British readers responded to this comment.

Taemin's trick show? lmaooo
Third place doesn't guarantee Round of 32 anyway
Okay but if you actually look at the stats, some of those plays DO look questionable... just saying
They probably weren't trying to lose on purpose, but were trying to draw. Seems like it backfired and they ended up losing lol. They were running around after conceding too
What's the point of a draw? Where's the benefit?
Best excuse is probably conserving stamina? Or maybe otherwise they were betting on it lmao γ γ γ
Don't misunderstandβwe're just purely idiots...
This is hilarious, every sport has these allegations now. Next we'll hear the Olympics were rigged π
As a Korean sports fan this is embarrassing to even discuss, we played our best that day period
Our Taemin is not world class
Pure incompetence vs intentional trolling death dilemma
Former: no skill but not a bad person. Latter: can hide your skill and pretend to intentionally troll (have no skill but act skilled) tough choice lmaooo
BBC trying hard to make content out of nothing, let the team breathe π
Wait, Korea THREW the game?? That's insane if true, the conspiracy theories are getting wild π
honestly the way this video is framed seems sus... BBC really out here trying to start drama
I watched this match live and there's NO WAY that was intentional lmao, some people see what they wanna see
