GAME MUST BE FIXED: SHIN

SOUTH KOREA’S World Cup hopes are still alive despite Saturday’s 2-1 defeat to Mexico but their coach Shin Tae-yong says there are problems with the country’s domestic game that cannot be ignored. Tae-yong’s side, who have yet to register a point from their opening two games in Russia, said: “We have systemic problems… We must think how we can improve our domestic league and work with young players. We lack experience. That doesn’t come overnight. Our players, I think, played a game that they will not regret.”
