da dobrowin： Tottenham fans are fearing the worst about losing Heung-min Son, as South Korea are on the brink of exiting the World Cup.
da bet nacional： South Korea will have to beat Germany if they want to stay in the World Cup, and their potential early exit could be really bad news for Son and Spurs.
The electric winger bagged a wonderful late goal for his side on Saturday, but it was quite simply too little too late as they fell 2-1 to Mexico.
The story about Son potentially having to leave Spurs to fulfil his mandatory military service has worried fans in the past, but the 25 year-old could have avoided his fate if he had guided his side into the knockout rounds.

South Korean law means all males from the country must complete two years of military service by age 28, but sports stars can be made exempt if they achieve success at major international tournaments, like the World Cup or Olympics.
The Tottenham fan favourite’s future in North London now hinges on the Asian games, where a gold medal would allow the winger to stay with Spurs.
Son has not spoken publicly about the issue, but fans are fearing the worst after images of their favourite wing wizard crying after the defeat to Mexico emerged online.
