so whats your explanation for it? its obvious in that italian game that either the referee was watching an entirely different game or he had some sort of agenda. you dont think fifa wanted the home team to advance and thereby propel football to popularity here in asia?
hand of god was one lucky play that happened in an instant and was surely tough for the referee to see without the aid of video replay. i was referring to two entire games where the referee seemed to have a blatant agenda as play after dirty play were inexplicably disregarded. those are two different animals entirely.
anyway, i was just curious to what the general korean reaction to this obvious fact (to any football fan) was. if this happened in most countries i believe most fans, while excited and proud, would be a bit sheepish at their stroke of good luck and the injustice to the opposing squad. |
It was five years ago. Get over it. |

Having Korean middle school students really motivated me to examine those games in-depth. There were a few questionable calls, for sure, but your video basically shows Italy and Spain in a parade of dives. In no way would I say it was fixed.
Italy and Spain were guilty of just as much foul play without being called.
Recall the England / Portugal game of the 2006 World cup, and you'll have another clear example of atrocious officiating. |
i generally hate italian football for said dives and dirty plays but i challenge you to watch that clip again and still tell me that those arent fouls. korean players are pulling jersey, throwing elbows, and tackling spikes first again and again. plus the bogus offside calls and the disallowed spain goal. there are always bad calls in fifa sanctioned games but these two games clearly stand out.
anyway, korea is obviously a crap side as the last two tournaments have clearly demonstrated. |
As I said, i remember watching those games more than twice each. Italy and Spain were just as guilty for jersey pulling, elbowing, and tackling... without being called.
Your video didn't show any of that though, so don't bother using it a proof of anything. It's bogus. |
your memory is bogus |

| Don't forget the glaring mistake that FIFA elected to chose an Ecuadorian referee to officiate, when his own team petered out from the Italian's group. |

Hardly the greatest moment of my life, but you carry on with your conspiracy theories and soppy YouTube videos to cheer yourself up. |
