South American teams are still searching for their first victory at the World Cup after the initial round of group stage matches.
Meanwhile, representatives from the Asian Football Confederation have been remarkably impressive, remaining undefeated across their six played fixtures.
Last night, Saudi Arabia drew 1-1 with Uruguay, and Iran played out a 2-2 draw against New Zealand. Prior to that, South Korea secured a 2-1 win over the Czech Republic, Qatar drew 1-1 with Switzerland, Japan also shared the points with the Netherlands in a 2-2 stalemate, and Australia triumphed over Turkey with a 2-0 victory.
In stark contrast, the South American sides have failed to win any of their four matches. Besides Uruguay's draw, Brazil also finished 1-1 against Morocco. Paraguay and Ecuador, however, suffered defeats, losing 1-4 to the USA and 0-1 to Ivory Coast, respectively.
European teams, for their part, have managed a modest three victories from a total of ten matches played in the tournament so far.
