Germany are the most boring football team on the planet. What a bummer they're winning.

I do not really support either team, but I think I will root for South Korea in this match. My head says Germany will clinically eliminate South Korea, but my heart votes for a South Korean win. Hark, the match begins.

I said from the beginning the Koreans aren't all that, it's the other teams that completely screw things up !

Agreed. What were Korea supposed to do? Lose every match? Since when has unlikely success proved conspiracy instead of the effect of a new coach, better fitness, and enormous public support?

There is no proof, all is speculation. What happened to "INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY"

Until proof of conspiracy is revealed, we HAVE to presume none to exist.

In any case it's a moot point. South Korea are behind a goal.

Final score:

Germany 1 - South Korea 0

Well well. An offside call that wasn't offside! CONSPIRACY..... oh hang on. It was against Korea. The Korean wasn't offside at all....

Ah. The game is over.

Well done Germany. They'll be without Ballack though, so they're in some trouble for the final.

Hmmmm... I am going to root for Turkey in the next match. Why? Simple, because Brazil knocked out England!

RAAAA!!!!

Go Turkey, GO!

Oh, and let us see whether South Korea can get 3rd place. [img]smile.gif[/img]

No creativity, no talent, no superstars and yet they made it to the finals. How do they keep doing that ?

An irrelevant observation - Kahn had that ball all the way - even if there wasn't off-side.

Perhaps it is because all the referees for the last four games (including this one) are from Europe that they didn't win.

Urs Meier did an execelent job - not a wrong descision all game. [img]smile.gif[/img]

no talent??? [img]graemlins/saywhat.gif[/img]

no superstar??? - Oliver Kahn definately comes close. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Good organisation, teamspirit and the best goalkeeper in the world might just have something to do with it
