Man, I for one am completely disgusted with the way things turned out https://216.40.201.38/cwm/cwm/angryfire.gif This WC was full of surprises.
In the beginning, two of the favorites to win the Cup this year ( Argentina and France ) were eliminated. I guess that was all fair though. But as the rounds got closer to the end, I can't help but feel that there's some sort of " black hand " in this WC. I mean, how the HECK did Korea manage to beat Italy and Spain! I'm sorry but... what does Korea know about soccer dammit ?!?
There are so many controversies going about Italy's games. I mean, in the game vs. Korea, everytime Vieri ( sp ? ) touched a ball,they would call an off side. There were times when it was true but mostly, they weren't. He was in perfectly good postions !
At least one foul or off side was called in every game when there really wasn't. Jee. Italy is my favourite team and I can't help but feel completely annoyed !

Oh and now Korea beat Spain. What the hell ! They invalidaded two perfectly good goals to Spain. Not one but two! And one of them was even in the additional time. Spain had already one with that ! The ball never left the field. I just cannot believe the refs. He was horrible. Bah, I bet they paid him

But about the " surprises ", Senagal, who made their first debute in a WC made it all the way to the quarter finals. I think that was a great accomplishment. The US, ( even though they beat Mexico which happened to be another of my favorites ) played very well this year too. In the WC of 1998, they placed at the very last. This year, they too made it all the way to the quarter finals. I guess those were the only things I found enjoyable. Even though I LOVE soccer, I cannot believe that they're letting teams cheat

Grr. I hope Turkey wins !
