Hmmm, not a great goal, and I think it was offside, but it's 1:1.

Can we finish it or you guys want to play extra-time? There won't be a winner anyway, so take 1 point each and spare yourselves of extra 30 minutes.
I think we should call a penalty and rig the fixture.

Guys, go and watch some Taekwondo. Facing a Korean, you must be 100 times a player he is to beat him or else the winner is always the Korean athlete. They are notorious for having the refs favoring them in Taekwondo. Wouldn't be surprised to know that they had fixed the games in 2002 :D

You said that the Italy - Korea match was fixed, then you said you weren't making any assumptions about the game. You really aren't that bright, if you can't see how contradicting the two things are.
The match was as good as fixed if the referee was going to favor Korea to that extent.

But there is a difference between whether somebody at FIFA decided to fix this match or Moreno was alone in his agenda. For the 10000000th time all I am claiming is that Moreno heavily favored Korea, I don't claim to know why he did it or if anybody else was involved because there is no way for me to know but I do not for a second believe that him and the referee for the Spanish game and all of their assistants had honest intentions and it was all a huge coincidence they messed up so badly and both times against Korea.

If anybody interpreted what I said incorrectly then I apologize, I shouldn't have used the word fixed because I can see how my point could be misinterpreted.

As for the infraction, i got one too, i just don't feel the need to whine and moan about it like you.
My bad then I didn't see it.

It was more than enough and there were already many complaints about the way they reached to the semis. Hey, by no means am I saying that those games were fixed but what happened in their games against Italy and Spain (especially in the game against Spain I have to say) was more than just a couple of normal refereeing mistakes or a few bad calls in favor of one team. You guys, as football fans who have watched many football games must agree with this.

:agree:

I don't to be honest :p

As an objective viewer, and somebody who roots against Spain, that match was certainly fixed. I did not see the Italy match, however.
Same here, I've always hated Spain NT and I didn't want them to reach to the semis. But it was the strangest game I'd ever seen back then.
