As a German, let me say one thing:
I don't like the team we have in the finals this year. I don't like it at all. We didn't play a good football and we don't deserve to win.
Spain had a better team IMO, and they're out for really unfair mistakes committed by unreliable persons.
I think here nobody's accusing Korean players, but the ones who organized this WC. They're the most unreliable people above all!
They turned this WC in a TV show, with lots of intrigues, debatings and so on, forgetting that football is not a show: it is a sport, a game, and it doesn't deserve to be threated like that. They ruined everything. The decision of getting a Swiss referee for the semifinals, yeash, it was odd and I was surprised too. They didn't want other Europeans team to have a European referee and then we have a Swiss one. He officiated in a very good way, a lot better than many others. We were lucky in this case, or maybe German organization for this WC asked for a reliable and European referee to not have the same fate as Spain, Italy and Portugal. I don't know. Turkey did the same asking for an Italian referee in the match against Japan, so it's not a big surprise after all....
Shame on FIFA for this horrible WC. Next time it's Germany in 2006: let's hope they don't do the same mistakes.
