✅Before watching the game

On March 21 at the Seoul World Cup Stadium,

and the fourth match on March 26 at Rajamangala Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.

Currently, South Korea is in first place in Group C (2 wins), while Thailand is in second place (1 win, 1 loss).

👉Analysis

South Korea and Thailand have an all-time head-to-head record of 30 wins, 7 draws and 8 losses, with South Korea leading the series by a wide margin.

The last meeting was a friendly in March 2016, which South Korea won 1-0 with a goal from Seok Hyun-joon.

The last defeat came 26 years ago in December 1998, 1-2 in the quarterfinals of the Asian Games in Bangkok.

The South Korean national team was plagued by infighting at the 2023 Asian Cup in Qatar. The question is whether they will be able to show a united front this time around.

Thailand showed a united front in their three Asian Cup group matches, not conceding a single goal.

오늘 오후 8시 2026년 국제축구연맹( FIFA ) 북중미 월드컵 아시아 2차 예선전 한국과 태국의 경기가 있습니다.

한국은 태국과 2연전을 펼치는데요.
3월 21일에 서울월드컵경기장에서 3차전을,
3월 26일에 태국 방콕의 라자망갈라 스타디움에서 4차전을 치른다.

현재 한국은 C조 1위(2승)이며, 태국은 조 2위 (1승1패)이다.
모두 태국을 꺽으면 조기로 최종예선 진출을 확정합니다.

태국전 생방송 중계는 TV조선, 쿠팡 플레이에서 시청가능합니다.

👉분석

한국과 태국의 역대 전적은 30승 7무 8패로 한국이 크게 앞서고 있다.

최근 맞대결은 2016년 3월 친선경기로 당시 석현준 골로 1-0 승리했다.

마지막 패배는 1998년 12월 방콕 아시안게임 8강전 1-2로 26년전이다.

한국 대표팀은 2023 카타르 아시안컵 당시 내분으로 어수선하다. 이번에 단합된 모습을 보여줄지가 관건이다.

태국은 아시안컵 조별 3경기에서 단 한 골도 내주지 않는 단결력을 보여줬다.

I'm going to eat chicken and watch football tonight.

I hope we can show a united front.

Son Heung-min will score and Lee Kang-in will score.

Go Korean soccer team !!!!!

오늘은 치킨 먹으면서 축구 봐야겠네요.

단합된 모습을 보여주었으면 좋겠어요.

손흥민 골 예상, 이강인도 골 예상합니다.

한국 축구팀 화이팅 !!!!!

✅After watching the game

I ordered chicken, ate it, and watched the game.
It was a disappointing game that we should have won. (Son Heung-min 1 goal )

치킨을 먹으며 경기를 관람했어요.
이겨야 했던 경기였는데 아쉽게 1:1 무승부로 마쳤습니다. (손흥민 1골 )

South Korean soccer's defensive faltering and lack of finishing exposed their lack of goals as they were held to a 1-1 draw at home by Thailand, who are 79 spots lower in the FIFA rankings.
Son Heung-min was named the Most Valuable Player (MVP) of the match.
