Australian Reaction to Africa’s mostsuccessfulWorldCupteam ever! | Brazil fans worried by this performance should remember that this expanded WorldCup - more than any other - is a marathon not a sprint. Remember Argentina losing to Saudi Arabia in their first game in Qatar four years ago - and then going on to be crowned world champions? South Korea, Asia’s mostsuccessfulteam at the WorldCup, begin their 2026 campaign with a game against Czechia, who are back at the tournament after a 20-year absence.
