You are giving Korea way too much credit. Much much more than they actually deserve. Italy wasn't playing up to their capabilities. Top players like Nesta and Cannavaro were missing. The coaching decisions sucked. And their stupid habit of circling the wagons and defending their base 75 minutes left to play in regulation time is deserving of a loss.

However, why don't you put your bias aside and discuss the game objectively. Totti was fouled and yet he gets the red card. Did you not see the foul on the play? Did he fall on his own? Did he deserve the red card? What about yet another goal taken away from them on a dubious offside call which replays clearly indicate the player was onside? The hate I mentioned in one of my previous posts is the same hate I see coming from you. Your hate for the Italian team blinds you from seeing the blatant obvious.

Maybe Italy didn't play well enough to win. But to deny that they had more than their share of bad calls is unfair. In fact it might be even be dishonest to say that.
