The World Cup has already delivered shocks as Asian teams announced themselves against Europe’s heavyweights. With near-perfect results, Asia recorded two wins and one draw that felt like victory. Qatar secured its first-ever World Cup point with a last-minute equalizer against Switzerland.

South Korea began Asia’s campaign with a 2-1 comeback win over the Czech Republic, followed by Australia’s emphatic 2-0 triumph over Turkey. Avoiding defeat in three matches against European sides in the opening round has given Asian teams a major morale boost ahead of their upcoming fixtures.

The group stage promises more high-profile clashes between Asia and Europe. Later today, Japan faces the Netherlands. Iraq will meet Norway on Tuesday evening, while Jordan makes its World Cup debut against Austria on Wednesday morning. Saudi Arabia will take on Uruguay from South America, before facing Spain—one of the tournament favorites—in the second round of Group H.
