Ian's Semi Final World Cup Thread Ian, I hope you don't mind, but I think your world cup threads are so good, that even the second one was growing too big for us non broadband folk.
Therefore, I wanted to start a new thread, devoted to the true followers of football. Did Korea get "paid" help with the refs, discuss. . | |

As for South Korea getting 'help' from the refs... . Maybe; cause if it wasn't for bad decisions by the refs, the Koreians (sp?) wouldn't have gotten so far.  | |

No problem Squirrel Meat, I was gonna create another thread soon myself anyway 
As for referees... I think we should give them a break! Mistakes ALWAYS get made, referees can't be everywhere at once. The best thing Spain and Italy can do is show some dignity and grace in defeat and quit their bitching 
Overall I don't think the refereeing in the tournament has been bad. The only thing I haven't liked is the amount of times the offside flag is raised rather than just letting play continue. Kinda spoils the game sometimes. | |

I personally think that teh referees are taking tooo much bad decisions. | |

Okay lads today is Germany vs Sth. Korea. Let's leave the controversy about referee decisions aside for a bit and let's just focus on the game!
Predictions? When Ireland played Germany it was a tough match indeed. I'm guessing that Korea have the energy and the ability to get a goal past Germany but my gut feeling is either 1-0 or 2-1 to Germany. Ian | |

yeah, let's see if korea still has some strenght and energy left. the match starts in two hours, yeee-ha. | |

I really want S.Korea to get to the final, that would be total class! However I don't want them to do it through some kind of luck, cos that'll only add to the BS rumours.
Has there ever been any known incident of a bribed ref? I've heard about dodgy goalkeepers, but that's all. I know u people worthless scum give no heart but wrath of insults a brain-driven wave of destruction your bite is worse than your vocabulary. Shame on you all of you. Go feed your pigs coward. | |

Unlucky South Korea.
However, I must say, they have had an amazing tournament. I still think Brazil will win it. _-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_

I've heard about dodgy goalkeepers, but that's all. there was a problem in italy a few years back. one of the big clubs (i think it was roma) had sent out 'gifts' at the end of the season to all the referees, as a 'thanks for a good season' gesture. but since the so-called gifts was rolex watches in the more expensive end of the line it raised quite a few eyebrows and since then the clubs haven't been allowed to send 'gifts' to the refs... | |

Well, well, Germany are in the final. Looks like there´s a chance that the $5 I bet on them will turn into $80 after all. I really thought South Korea would beat them, but now it looks pretty promising (except for Ballack being sent off, what a shame).
Don´t underestimate Turkey in the other semi final. They´ve been playing very well and should have won against Brazil the last time. If Turkey wins, though, I don´t think they´ll have enough strength left to win the final as well. But if Brazil wins, I think they will beat Germany in the final. Turkey will win at least a bronze medal. South Korea will have to settle for a fourth place in any case. At least that´s my guess. | |

Brazil is going to beat Turkey tomorrow, and they'll beat Germany. Brazil WILL be our 2002 World Cup champions.
Go Ronaldo! -------

Not to dismiss Turkey ... but a Germany v Brazil finals will be a great match I'd imagine | |

Yes, a Brazil v Germany match would be a good one. When I read about the evils of drinking, I gave up reading. | |

Is it hard to be efficient against Saudi, a weaker than normal Cameroon, Paraguay, USA and South Korea? What a route to the Final. Lucky what nots. I feel sorry for Spain. They should have been them in Germany's place. But thats football! . | |

I knew Brazil would win... Just as they're going to beat Germany. Ronaldo is hot Perhaps I'll write him a letter and propose marriage since thechronic keeps turning me down in all of my orgnotes.-------

Last Night I dreamed I'd sex with Ronaldo  I'm sure glad my hubby can't read my dreams. 
Come to think about it he had a funny smile on his face when he woke up this morning...  I wonder what that was about.
However, I think Turkey did qiute well though but oooh, What a great final it will be on Sunday. I haven't been in on the Prince. org. for a time now so I just try to catch on what's been cooking, this is a great thread. Thank you!! | |
