Lee Chun-soo commented on the Korean national soccer team led by coach Hong Myung-bo’s 3-1 victory over Oman in the second match of Group B in the third round of qualifying for the 2026 North and Central American World Cup, saying, “I am not satisfied with the performance.”

On the 11th, Lee Chun-soo uploaded a video titled ‘Honest thoughts on tactics against Oman’ on his YouTube channel ‘Lee Chun-soo’. The video shows him commentating on the match with former soccer player Ji Byeong-ju.

After the match, Lee Chun-soo said, “Honestly, I’m not satisfied with our performance, but I’m glad we won. Is it because of Heung-min?” and “It’s a bit disappointing, but we still won 3-1.”

He said, “First of all, I think we won the game because Heung-Min Son, the ace, did it,” and added, “It’s a difference in color. Don’t we always talk about the kind of soccer we play? That color hasn’t come out yet.”

He said, “Usually when we score and win, our defense gets weaker,” and “We lost 3-1 today, but we could have made it easier.”

He continued, “I don’t know if that was an instruction or if the players went down because they were having a hard time, but since it was an away game, if they go down too much to our camp, we’ll suffer that much.” He added, “We have to solve that as homework somehow. The atmosphere isn’t good because we drew at home, so I hope we can improve as we go forward.”

Lee Cheon-soo also asked Ji Byung-joo, “What do you think Hong Myung-bo’s soccer is?” In response, Ji Byung-joo said, “Cho Hyeon-woo blocks it, Son Heung-min scores a goal, Hwang Hee-chan scores a goal, Kim Min-jae blocks it,” and “The players are the players.”

He also pointed out, “We need to take a look at their performance,” and “They’ve only played two games, so we’ll have to wait and see until October. If it’s the same then, wouldn’t that be a problem?”

With this win, Korea has risen to second place in Group B, which includes Iraq, Jordan, Oman, Kuwait, and Palestine. Jordan is in first place, having defeated Palestine 3-1 on the same day.

Korea needs to win consecutive matches in the away game against Jordan on the 10th of next month in the 4th match and the home game against Iraq on the 15th in the 5th match to take the lead. The 1st and 2nd place teams among the 6 teams in the same group will advance to the World Cup finals.
