South Korea didn't do well ....... they should be ashamed of what happened
Dun even want to talk abt the group stage.
In the knockout rounds ......
First, it was italy, then Spain
They freaking rugby, whacked, elbowed, kicked the Italians out of the game with no fouls.
When Totti was fouled, he was sent off for diving. WTF.
Then the Italians had a good goal wrongly disallowed for offside.
The Koreans star player was Ahn Jung Hwan. And he scored the goal in extra time that send the Koreans through.
He was playing for an Italian club at that time.
After the World Cup, he was sacked.
That was how incensed the Italians were over this WC controversy
google Byron Moreno (the referee)
Same thing happened in the next round.
This time it was Spain.
But this time, it is not one goal disallowed.
It is TWO perfectly good goals disallowed.
And then the Koreans win on penalties.
I root for Asians to do well but to " do well " in this manner ....
that's cheating, corruption .....
2002 worst world cup ever
