The fact that Asian teams remain undefeated in the FIFA World Cup (W杯) North America tournament has become a topic of discussion on the Chinese internet.
In this tournament, South Korea defeated Czech Republic 2-1 in Group A, Qatar drew 1-1 with higher-ranked Switzerland in Group B, Australia defeated Turkey 2-0 in Group D, and Japan drew with formidable Netherlands in Group F.
Furthermore, in the first match of Group H held on the 16th, Saudi Arabia drew 1-1 against Uruguay, a former World Cup champion, and in Group G, Iran drew 2-2 with New Zealand. As a result, with 6 Asian teams having completed their first matches, they maintain an undefeated record of 2 wins and 4 draws.
Chinese sports media Migu Sports, while reporting the result of the Iran vs. New Zealand match, reported, "Asian teams continue their undefeated streak!"
Chinese netizens commented with remarks such as "Amazing," "Asian teams 6 matches undefeated. Wonderful," "We Asians are powerful," "Asian teams are fighting well," "Japan, South Korea, and Saudi Arabia showed us wonderful matches," "Iran drew well despite the situation in their country," and "Give Asia two more spots in the next tournament."
Additionally, there are three Asian teams that have not yet played their first match: Iraq will play Norway on the 17th, Jordan will also play Austria on the 17th, and Uzbekistan will play Colombia on the 18th. (Translation/Editing by Kitada)
