*cries*

I CAN believe they lost.

FIFA Officials: Name a team that Italy beat in this world cup?
Other FIFA Officials: Equador
FIFA Officials: Quick, get an Equadorian ref!

Not only coz of this, but seriously soccer does involve quite a bit of luck (for both teams).

I can't believe that was a red for Totti (well yellow, then red).

I'm glad Italy are out. No longer will I have to stress watching another World Cup game. Actually, I won't be watching another World Cup game now that Italy and Japan are out.

Did you see the crowd? I mean it must have been hard for Italy. I dunno. Stupid World Cup.

Now I can relax and get back to GTAIII :cool:

Seriously though.............how STUPID do u have to be?? I mean why an Equadorian coach? Knowing that Italy beat Equador 2-0.

It's like in the USA v Germany match they get a Mexican coach. THink about it!

ITALY LOST!!! ITALY LOST!!! ITALY LOST!!! ITALY LOST!!! ITALY LOST!!! ITALY LOST!!! ITALY LOST!!! ITALY LOST!!! ITALY LOST!!! ITALY LOST!!! ITALY LOST!!! ITALY LOST!!! ITALY LOST!!! ITALY LOST!!! ITALY LOST!!! ITALY LOST!!! ITALY LOST!!!

Oh yeah! At my school, about 98% of the students are Italian. It felt so good to see Italy lose to Kariya today! Oh yeah!

Stupid Eye-talians and all of their pride. We printed off South Kariya flags and were waving them around!

BOO YEAH!

Well it is in South Korea...maybe that had something to do with it??:rolleyes:

Yes yes I like how this world cup is going it's unpredictable....which I think is great. :D

I'm ova it now.

Oh well, back to eating my lasagne ;)

Did you see the footage of the Italians watching the game outside in Rome? It was hillarious. When South Korea scored the winning goal, they were all mad and crying.


God I love it how people get so into sports.

It's not funny when the team you're supporting loses :mad:

They are passionate about soccer in Italy, well nearly everywhere.

I was so upset when Italy lost. I didn't cry, but I was really annoyed.

Italy was one of the countries that had the worst luck this world cup. The worse refs as well.

That's what Italians say. The rest of the world says the ref was very good, one of the best.

The offside was false, but that wasn't the ref's fault. And it's not like South Korea didn't deserve to win, they played pretty good, in the end better than Italy.

In every WC there are wrong decisions. Like how Belgium was defeated by Turkey. :unsure:

No they don't. All I've heard this World Cup from all of my Soccer mates (English, Serbian, Croatian, Australian, Korean, Japanese) is that this has been the worst World Cup when it comes to reffing!

The Argentinans and French said the same thing about the refs as well. France were robbed of a goal, and in a World Cup, these mistakes shouldn't be made. They should have a video referee to replay the point for very close calls.

ANd if a goal is a goal, of course people are gonna complain (especially considering that Italy had 2 disallowed goals when against Croatia, one disallowed against Mexico, and one "potential goal" disallowed against Korea). And a whole lot of bs rulings!

And this happened so much to the Italians, and they were ALL goals. If you looked @ the replays correctly.
It's been said by many (even the non Italians) that Italy has had the worst luck this World Cup when it comes to the refs, and I agree. Especially putting an Equadorian Coach for Korea v Italy. :mad:

And for FIFA to apologise to the world about the ref for Croatia vs Italy (on Italy's behalf), well there's gotta be something wrong. Oh and they kicked that referee out of the World Cup.

Also I think Italy played MUCH better than Korea in the first half. Considering they were IN Korea and the crowd was booing Italy every time they got the ball!

2nd half Korea were desperate so they kept attacking in hope for a goal, and eventually got it. And I think they had the better 2nd half.

PS There are mistakes made, but to Italy, there were FAR too many

****NEWS JUST TO HAND****

According to my mum, the Equadorian ref for Italy v Korea got kicked outta the World Cup.

That's 2 refs that have been kicked out in 2 of Italy's most crucial games.

Sigh :mad:

Koreans will do anything to win, even if it means cheating. Remember the Olympics? After that Korean short track skater pushed Apollo Onno and got eliminated, Korea threatened to leave the tournament early, even though it was very clear that the Korean skater cheated. It's not that I don't like Koreans, but it's just their mentality. Win, or kill everyone trying.

Thats the mentality you need tro have to win. I have no regrets about the things I did while playing football and wrestling to win games.

Remember... its only cheating if you get caught:D

Haha England got kicked out by Brazil. Sorry but you're so cocky.

Stupid USA can't seem to make any goals against Germany, although they have the ball 80% of the time! :( I want Germany to lose! :D

Brazil sucks, they won't win it (I hope).

But NOOOO!!!!! USA lost :(

But like Arena said before, if the US loses, it'll hurt some pride back home, if Germany loses, it would be devastating. But wouldn't it be even more devastating if we beat them next WC, on their turf? :devil:

Oh well, give the USA credit, they did better than anyone expected, and earned a lot of respect.

Next question, why do the 2 teams i cheer for always meet in single elimination? Err... Well, go Germany!!!!
