South Korean National Team
Success would not come easily with a team that had appeared in five straight World Cups and had yet to win a single match. South Korea was the host team in the 2002 FIFA World Cup tournament along with Japan. The 2002 FIFA World Cup, the 17th staging of the World Cup, was held in South Korea and Japan from May 31 to June 30. For a topic outline on this subject see List of basic Japan topics.

After a 2-1 loss to the US Gold Cup team in January 2002, he was criticized again for not taking his job seriously.

Nevertheless, the team he assembled was a cohesive unit that consequently proved to be the fittest team at the World Cup.
In the World Cup itself, the South Korean team achieved its first ever victory in the final stage (2-0, against Poland), and after a 1-1 draw with the USA and a further 1-0 victory against strongly-fancied Portugal, the South Korean team qualified for the second round, already realising the hopes of the Korean nation.

Hiddink was an extremely popular figure in Australia and was referred to affectionately as "Aussie Guus". A telling example of the public affection for him was the Socceroo fans chant of "Goooooooooooos!" during moments of play. Slogans for the Socceroos' World Cup campaign were "No Guus, No Glory", "Guus For P. M" and "In Guus We Trust", as well as the play on words of the famous taunt "Guus your Daddy?". During the World Cup, a Sydney newspaper started a humorous campaign to lure him away from Russia by proposing a national "Guus tax" to pay his wages. More seriously, his reputation was enhanced by his transformation of the national side, with many pundits focusing on the immense improvement to Australia's defence. He is credited with turning a team which conceded many goals under Frank Farina into a solid defensive unit which only conceded one goal away from home to both Uruguay and the Netherlands.
