Though the result wasn't what Korean soccer fans had hoped for‚ many stayed up all night once again‚ to cheer on their national team‚ until the very end.
In Seoul‚ tens of thousands of supporters gathered in front of City Hall‚ turning the grounds into a virtual sea of red.
Our Kim Hyung-eun was there.
Korea on Saturday was once again‚ a country that didn't sleep.
In the national team's final World Cup game versus Switzerland in Hanover‚ Germany cheers rocked the entire nation from Friday evening‚ all the way through early Saturday morning.
Close to a million and a half fans gathered to cheer at town plazas and other outdoor venues across the country.
As the match would decide Team Korea's advance to the second round‚ people chose to cheer rather than sleep‚ hoping to boost player morale.
The team started off strong‚ but conceded the opening goal to the Swiss in the 23rd minute.
Switzerland scored its second late in the game‚ in a moment of confusion following a controversial referee call.
South Korean fans were devastated with many in tears.
KOREAN FAN: "It's too bad we lost. I feel so sad. I was especially disappointed with the referee's calls. They were unfair."
KOREAN FAN: "I'm proud of our team. They did their best and fought well. Although we lost‚ I think in terms of the people's spirit‚ we made it to the second round."
FRENCH FAN: "I think Korea fought very well until the end. But unfortunately‚ it lost."
With Korea's defeat‚ Asia has no teams in the World Cup's round of 16.
Asians had crossed their fingers for Korea‚ after Japan‚ Saudi Arabia and Iran were all eliminated.
"Although Korea is out of the World Cup‚ more than a million fans proved once again their dedication to the team‚ and there's no doubt they'll do it again in the next World Cup.
Kim Hyung-eun‚ Arirang News." Reporter : hyungeun@arirang.co.kr
