South Korea just won!!!

It was not so funny to see all these angry and unhappy faces around here in Turin, but Italy is playing disgustingly. I am not Italian, just live in Italy fot 2 years, but my hubby is and if you want to make him angry just say one of these 2 words Berlusconi or Juventus.

Couldn't believe the Koreans played that well. They really deserved to get something out of the game but golden goal is such a devestating thing to lose out to.

There was definate contact on Totti when he went down, but it was a fair challenge. Football's a contact sport. It was the way Totti went down, and turned round appealing for a penalty.

thewitt, of course the linesman, sorry "assistant referee", didn't give it. They never give anything apart from offside. The number of times I've seen them with 2 players wrestling each right in front of them and done nothing till the ref blows his whistle, is uncountable. Apart from flagging for offside, and getting it wrong a lot of the time (i accept it's difficult), they are useless.

Yeah, I agree with the posts about Italy needing to change the way they play!
In football you cannot sit back after scoring - it's been proven time and again that this only encourages the opposition. And with all the Korean fans in the stadium they had enough encouragement anyway without help from the Italian players!
