[QUOTE="Ruvion, post: 236312, member: 878"] I wish luck on all 4 teams as they've played good football over the past month. :) I feel sad that people in this board (and maybe elsewhere as well) feel that the Corean run in this World Cup was "tainted" with bad referee calls. Referees are human and I've seen bad calls called [b]for[/b] Coreans as well as [b]against[/b] Corea (people conveniently forget these). Some people can look past that; others simply choose not to as they can't stomach a "weaker" team beating a more established one (or for any other multitudious reasons). The only way to remedy this for the Coreans IMHO, will not be by winnning the Cup this year (it would be nice but would not prove much), but to put up a good show (and a long run) in the Cup in Germany 2006. It was unfortunate for France that they did not come through for this World Cup and I hope that Coreans do not follow this path, for I and the rest of the world would be then forced to conclude that Team Corea was a one-trick pony that was lucky enough to host (and that the corruption in FIFA is worse than expected).
