Once the World Cup sub-forum is up, I might have to make a preemptive strike and create a South Africa conspiracy theory thread. You know there is going to be a lot of those this time around.
South Afica aint like South Korea, they dont have a billion dollars worth of auto industry that sponsors FIFA and have big commercial market for footie which Fifa wanted to take advantage of. With SA, been ze contrary, they didnt even wanna give them the WC 4 years ago.

    Not something elaborate, but that they thought its good for bussiness South Korea go as far as possible with such a home support, and prolly condition an athmosphere where they should be helped out further a little. Decisions they got against Italy and Spain didnt seem only like simple mistakes, but some biasm to them (especially Spain game, shocking stuff).
