[MD 12] FIFA WORLD CUP 2010 -MEX vs. URU // FRA vs. RSA // NGA vs. KOR // GRE vs. ARG

do you remember Italy - South Korea in 2002?

Yes and Moreno was actually very lenient on Italians. And he found out that he was an Ugandan only yesterday.

[malleus]

or Spain - South Korea in 2002. Spain had 2-3 legal goals all ruled offside.

Actually no. There was a whistle blown for a foul a little before the ball went in and that is as closest as one can get for "disallowed goal".

"disallowed goal" means that the ball was in play and the whistle was blown after the ball went in.

In all cases SK players stopped playing before the ball went in. They are to pay dearly for this in 2006 when the referee overuled the linesman.

[malleus]

Actually a better comparison is with the red cards(2) Portugal received. Some cried loud about how unfair that was even though many commentators around the word agreed that they were fully deserved.

Compared with the red cards in this WC, they were very very well deserved.
In fact some Portuguese players should have gotton a life time WC ban for physically assaulting the referee.

[malleus]

I am not even sure whether Japan can make it. If all Asian countries fail to advance there may be pressure to reduce the number of Asian tickets to WC. Dr Jheong withstood the pressure last time but it may be too much this time.

3.5 may be the number for 2014. But I hope it is 4 at least.

Diaby was poor for the first goal. France defence was poor, but thats because they keep chopping and changing. I didn't expect them to win anyways

France

If anything, the number of African slots will go down and the South American/Asian slots will go up. Fifa would hugely benefit from countries like India/China being in the world cup.

Expecting both England and Slovenia is mathematically very unlikely, especially since they play each other in the last game. They would need USA and Algeria to tie and for Slovenia and England to also tie but with alot more goals.

Park choo young is really tearin it up in this WC..!
massoud, u need to swith out the places of "France" & "Henry" in your sig. Quote


Holly shitt yakuboo had an inbelivable miss from two yards out..!
SK needs to slow the pace of the game and play more careful..!

[BacheLot]

2-2 now..!
very exciting, open, end to end action, game..!
Very risky approach..! A win would put Nigeria through most probably

[Hichkas]

SK az **** aword. Martins missed the open net from 2 meters unbelievable.
They had so much chances.
