After South Korea and Japan lost in the round of 16 knockout round of the World Cup in Qatar , all Asian teams in this World Cup have been eliminated.

A total of 6 Asian teams participated in this World Cup, and the host country Qatar, which was defeated in the first two rounds of the group stage, became the first Asian team to be eliminated. Iran and Saudi Arabia failed to make it to the round of 16 despite impressive performances in their opening games, beating favorites Argentina and Uruguay respectively.

Surprisingly, the remaining 3 Asian teams-Australia, Japan and South Korea all broke through the encirclement and reached the top 16, creating the record for the most Asian teams qualifying in the history of the World Cup!

Although Australia lost to Argentina in the round of 16, Japan lost to Croatia in a penalty shootout, and South Korea lost to Brazil in the final round of 16. The three Asian teams officially stopped in the round of 16, but no matter whether it was Saudi Arabia who reversed and defeated Argentina, Japan defeated Germany with a disadvantage Playing against Spain, South Korea and Uruguay overcoming Portugal, their performances in this World Cup are eye-opening, making Asian teams one of the dark horses of this World Cup.

At present, Asian teams still need to redouble their efforts to occupy a place in the future World Cup and international competitions.
