Argentina have been the most entertaining team by far this tournament, Maradona has been the most intriguing character, for that i hope they win the WC :D

S.Korea deserved to qualify, imo they have been very impressive this WC. The trio of Park Ji Sung, Lee Chung Yo and Park Chu Young really click together. I like watching them play.

The US were screwed over too as well as other teams. Why is Italy so more important?

And the match wasn't purchased.
Italy isn't. Hell, Belgium were screwed over too. But Italy had it pretty bad. The game was purchased in some way. You have to ask: cui bono? And you can still see how reaching the semifinals opened up an entire market for FIFA.

Nigeria had a million chances.

I'd understand if it was your only chance to win a World Cup or do that well. But you win the World Cup and you still complain. Makes no sense. Talk about asking for Karma to smack you down.
So you're ok with blatant match fixing in the world cup? It doesn't matter how many world cups the victim has won its wrong and for the integrity of the sport it should disgust all football fans no matter where their allegiances lie. And I'm not just complaining about Italy getting knocked out, the Spain match pissed me off just as much.

An incident like the Italy - Korea match has no place in any World cup tournament no matter what teams it involves.

This is the reason that 2002 still pisses me off. But a lot of people seem perfectly okay with this and will call you a conspiracy theorist even though that, purely statistically even, 2002 was not normal.
