The Italians have now completely lost their marbles. The gamewinning goal scorer Ahn, who is a player for Italian club Perugia has been sacked by the president of that club, they don't want him showing up for coming season. He said something like: he knocked us out of the WC, i knock him out of our club. What a bunch of dumbasses. [img]graemlins/1dizzy.gif[/img]

Typical reaction from them. All they do is whine. Look if they had not tried to "sit" on a one goal lead for almost the whole game they might not have been in the position of having to complain about a bad call in overtime

Some analysis of the Battle of Daejeon:
1. Was Trappatoni an idiot for trying to shut the game down after 60 mins, yanking Del Piero and replacing him with Gattuso? Yes. 2. Was the first penalty to SK a penalty? Didn't look like it. 3. Was the Totti yellow card deserved? Probably not. Wasn't a penalty, but not a dive either. 4. Was Tommasi offside when he went for that goal? Didn't look like it. 5. Was the ref influenced by home advantage? Big time, by the looks of it - who wouldn't be, in that atmosphere? Maybe someone like Collina or Anders Frisk. 6. Why did Vieri miss a sitter in the 89th minute that would have put Italy through? Because he was buggered and needed to be replaced. Why Trap kept strikers of the caliber of Montella and Inzaghi on the bench is unbelievable. 7. How did Italy's team of multibillionaires manage to lose to a team of part-timers, only two of which played in an overseas league? Who knows - fitness? Maybe they choked? The Koreans certainly finished all over the Azzurri. 8. Did Italy treat a technically inferior team like South Korea with contempt, playing to defend a 1-0 goal instead of getting forward and attacking with their galaxy of stars? ABSOLUTELY. Did it backfire on them? BIG TIME. Did they deserve to lose as a result? YES!!! 9. Did South Korea deserve to win for never saying die? You bet. PS. Did I mention that Trappatoni is an idiot?

you would have thought he woudl have watched Sk play of even listen to things they said. they are well known to be in great shape and the games they do win tend to be in the last 15 minutes. They infact plan on playign to keep it close so they can go allout then.
Oh I dissagree that he started in the 60th minute playing to hold the lead. I felt they did it almost right after they scored. Edit: OMG - sorry Lanthir, I thought I clicked on Quote but I clicked on Edit Post and accidentally overwrote your post. [img]graemlins/awcrap.gif[/img] One of the disadvantages of having edit access to everyone's post. I've fixed it up as best I could and put your original text back in. I think I got all the quotes back in. Sorry! - Mem [ 06-19-2002, 11:27 AM: Message edited by: Memnoch ]

Mem if you watch Sk play then tend to alwasy get going in the last 15 minutes they just tend to wear their opponets out. The trick is to be able to out last them in the last 15.
