Japanese media 'Football Channel' reported on the 28th that the Korean media are showing relief over the results of the draw for the third qualifying round.
The Football Channel added 'South Korea has entered Group B, which is full of Middle East. However, the South Korean media expressed optimism, saying, "No team is a big threat except Jordan, or there is no better combination than this."
South Korea was tied to Group B with Iraq, Jordan, Oman, Palestine and Kuwait. They're all Middle Eastern teams. South Korea properly experienced the power of Middle Eastern countries at the Qatar Asian Cup in January. Jordan, considered a step down, eliminated South Korea in the semifinals.
The Middle East expedition has traditionally not always been easy.
Japan is in Group C along with Australia, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, China, and Indonesia. Japan is also picky.
Group A consists of Iran, Qatar, Uzbekistan, the United Arab Emirates, Kyrgyzstan and North Korea.
The above article posted on the Japanese portal site 'Yafu Japan' had more than 300 comments.
The opinion that received the most sympathy was 'Is South Korea optimistic? Away, the Middle East is difficult. Japan has fewer expeditions to the Middle East. He also avoided North Korea. Australia are a team that plays within the confines of common sense and it's not that difficult. Just because the level of Asia is rising, you just have to do your best in every game.

'If you look at this, does it mean that Korean soccer has not grown yet. If there is anxiety somewhere, do we rely on the union. Rather, Japan said with a straight face, "I think if I can play a game with high tension and motivation, it will be a good preparation and experience for the World Cup finals."
There were many opinions that were very wary of the Middle East expedition. Of course, Japan is also difficult, but objectively, everything other than its own is better than the Middle Eastern group. I really think it's a relief that it's not Group B. Why does Korea set the flag like this?' he said, expressing concern.
In addition, Korea cannot deny the feeling that participation in the World Cup has become its goal. Isn't Japan's goal to win. At best, you're happy about the group. He refused to compare, saying, 'I hope you don't care about your neighbors and move on to the championship.
