hey..pls dun say all those stuff abt the hosts,Korea and Japan
getting advantages n favour from the refrees.u should have seen how
italy's vieri played...he missed a couple of chances to seal the
game but yet he wasted his chances.But y isn't anyone blaming him
or italy's players? i guess this is all due to the mentality that
Hosts can kelong.then wat abt Japan not beating Turkey,is that
kelong too? maybe u will say that it's better to let only one of
the hosts to go thru so that it's less obvious there's
favourism.however,u have to bear in mind being hosts has its
advantages like home support which is of utmost importance.
Look at France98...france won on its home soil.so what if there's
favourism? it may play a part but it only happens once every
4 years n not the same country gets to host the worldcup.so..let
korea enjoy the priviledge for once.aren't u proud that Korea made
asian soccer proud after the thrashing of saudi arabia by Germany.i
just find it funny that the italian r all putting the blame of
their loss on others,instead of self-reflecting on what went
wrong.i have to remind u all that italy wasn't the same italy that
appeared in previous world cups.
