In the wake of their Euro final defeat, England has now gone 58 years without a major title since 1966. South Korean media outlet Sportal Korea commented that compared to England’s 58-year drought, South Korea’s 64-year title absence means they have no right to mock the English team.
The Euro final saw Spain triumph 2-1 over England, securing their fourth title, while England suffered back-to-back final losses. Since winning the World Cup in 1966, England has not claimed a major title for 58 years.
When reporting on England’s final defeat, South Korean media also reflected on their own nation’s “humiliation,” stating, “Even England’s golden generation failed to lift the trophy, and Kane, the best forward, faced endless ridicule. But we must extend sympathy to English fans, as South Korea has also gone 64 years without a title.”
Previously, British media outlet Sky Sports compiled a list of teams that had gone longer than England without a title, which included South Korea. Since winning the Asian Cup in 1960, South Korea has failed to win a title for 64 years, ranking first among ten teams with long-standing title droughts, ahead of Ethiopia and Israel.
In the recent Asian Cup, despite fielding stars like Son Heung-min, Lee Kang-in, and Kim Min-jae, South Korea was eliminated in the semifinals, failing to end their title drought.
