Korea lost quite a few points in the FIFA rankings as it missed the win at its home game on Sunday. The team lost 7.47 points in just a 1-1 draw with Thailand, which ranks 101st in the FIFA rankings. The team's real-time FIFA ranking dropped from 22nd to 24th. It allowed its team to overtake Australia (23rd), which beat Lebanon 2-0. 안전놀이터

The team fell to fourth place in the Asian rankings due to a draw at a home game against Thailand. The team was pushed down from the top three spot by Japan, Iran and Australia. The top three standings have great significance. This is because the team will be able to clinch the top seed for the third Asian qualifying round for the 2026 North-Central America World Cup, which will take place in September. If Korea is pushed down to fourth place in Asia, it will receive the second seed, not the top seed.

Of course, there are still three more matches to be played in the second qualifying round, and there is still a possibility of change. However, if the team loses the fourth match against Thailand, it will be lagging further behind Australia, reducing the possibility of reclaiming the top three players in Asia. If the team fails to reach the third place and heads to the third qualifying round, it will have to meet with one of Japan, Iran and Australia. If it secures the top seed, it can avoid Japan and Iran. The difference between the third and fourth place is by no means small.

If Hwang defeats Thailand in an away match on Wednesday, chances are high that he will rank among the top three in Asia. This is because China and Singapore, which Korea will meet in the fifth and sixth rounds, are ranked higher in FIFA rankings than Australia's Bangladesh and Palestine. For Korea, if it wins all of the remaining matches, it can receive the top seed in the third round of Asian qualifiers.

Currently, Korea ranks first in Group C. It has two wins, one draw and seven points. It made a fresh start by defeating Singapore 5-0 in its first home game. It beat China 3-0 in its second away game, and continued to win consecutive games. However, the team tied with Thailand 1-1 in its third home game, slowing its upturn. Thailand ranked second with one win, one draw and one loss with four points. It has the same point as China, but is leading in goal difference (Thailand +1, China -2).
