Softechie, I remember Salt Lake City 2002, where Korea went ape-s**t over a disqualification in short track speed skating that cost them the gold. They complained that the officiating was biased toward the "crowd favorite." As a result, let's just say that (sadly) Apollo Ohno should avoid any Korean restaurant in the Puget Sound area.

Seems like we've now come full-circle. Korea gets revenge by scoring a tying goal against America. (The speed-skating imitation by the scorer was a nice touch, by the way.) Korea also ends up saving America from first-round elimination. And now Korea's opponents are complaining about the officials being biased toward the "crowd favorite."

Ladies and gentlemen, it's all sports. The home team will always have an advantage. Get over it, Italy.
