Johnny, more than likely they couldn't get tickets to the South Korea & Japan games. Rather than miss out completely, perhaps they wanted to be a part of the World Cup in some way and watch some quality teams play.

How dull the atmosphere would be if the locals just sat there and did nothing while a good game went on.

It's like the Olympics - you try and get the tickets you want, but you take what you can get, just so you can say you were a PART of the World Cup experience.

lanthir, is this true ? I thougt it would be something like that, it certainly wasn't normal behavior.

China vs. Costa Rica

</font>

As for ti beign true that what they were reporting during France v Senegal. So all I can go by is what they said. However, they also reposted that there wasa problem with ticket sales for the Korean games, they ddi not say if there was aproblem with tickets asale for the games in japan or not, with alot of unsold ones.

Never mind a one match ban, he should be f*cking disqualified from the tournament. That's one of the least proffessional things I've ever seen... and from one of the top players!

Absolutely disgraceful. If FIFA are looking to cut out all the fould play - then start with him. [img]graemlins/1pissed.gif[/img] No excuse whatsoever.

China 0 - Costa Rica 2

I have to say that the chinese were a disappointment to me, but Costa Rica played quite well. We'll have to see how they do agianst Turkey and Brazil
