Have you seen the replay of the Totti foul? I have! Several times. Totti was kicked by the defender. There was contact. Call it accidental or even harmless, don't call the penalty kick but certainly DO NOT call the foul on Totti especially since he was actually kicked. I suggest you view the play from different angles and give an honest opinion. Don't let your personal dislike for Totti or Italy influence what your eyes are actually witnessing. Vince

There are obviously a lot of things that we don't know... the one we do know, for sure, is that Italy is out and Korea is in, and all debate is more or less irrelevant. I'll be curious to see if Korea can (or will) do it again against Spain. I'd like to see Spain go through, but they certainly have their vulnerabilities. They will certainly have a large skill advantage, but will they be able to translate that into goals, and will they be able to hold up physically against the Koreans? It could be entertaining, especially if Spain goes all out in the first half. I wonder if Raul will be fit... if not, much will depend on the ability of the Tristan - Valeron combination to reproduce the kind of performances they put on with Deportivo. I'd also like to see more of Mendieta: he had an awful season with Lazio but looked very solid against Ireland. I haven't forgotten his record with Valencia, where he frequently showed the ability to dominate a game. And of course there is Morientes, who spends much time in Raul's shadow but is no mean finisher himself. I'd have to say Spain, but there's no denying that Korea could win, especially if they can hold up no more than a goal down until the Spaniards tire. If Brazil and Spain go out I'll be rooting for either Senegal or Turkey to go all the way, unlikely though that may seem....
