SAO PAULO, June 28 (AFP): Asia is refusing to give up on World Cup success despite its worst performance in 24 years when the four teams did not manage a win between them.
South Korea's 1-0 defeat to Belgium late on Thursday confirmed Asia's first winless showing since Italy 1990, when the Taeguk Warriors were the only Asian side.
After South Korea followed Japan, Australia and Iran out of the competition, an Asian Football Confederation (AFC) statement called it "an abrupt end".
WC \\\'not lost cause\\\' for Asia
