2008 Spain deserved to win and Italy were average under Donadoni, as for the Confeds, really who gives a shit. But 2002 and 2004, I think you should look again. Korea clearly were helped TWICE in 2002, I don't know how you can really pass that off as a silly conspiracy theory, those two games were an absolute disgrace. As for Denmark-Sweden, it just conveniently ended in the 2-2 draw that put both sides through with the teams playing at 50%? 
What can FIFA do in that situation though? They already changed the rules in 1982 after Austria and West Germany fixed a draw to knock out Algeria.
In events of this magnitude shit happens. I'm not talking about singlular incidents like the Grosso leap against Australia or Malouda's non-penalty in the final, things that are pre-empted. You don't have to give a man a brown paper bag full of cash, just put a terrible ref (say, one convicted of corruption in his home country that is the footballing powerhouse of Ecuador) in and the chances of him deciding the game are high. Italy knows all about these things, at home and on the international stage. It's an extremely naïve viewpoint to believe that football games you watch are decided simply by technical and tactical values, it's not just a sport, it's big business.
On that note, watch this guy Carlos Simon of Brasil in the England-USA game :evil:

Its impossible to fix the game to a 2-2 draw without making it look suspicious, really impossible. But as soon as it became 2-2, maybe both teams were ok with that result, but i strongly doubt they agreed to fix the game.
