Spain V South Korea, is this a joke or what??
ok did anyone actually see this match??? two disallowed goals? WTF? both looked fine to me, and its causing a major uproar here. especially after some of the previous matches, like some of the Italian games.
my question is this is it just poor refs or is there something more sinister going on in this world cup. is Fifa corrupt?
if anyone in the UK has been listening to Talk Sport today, this is not only something IM thinking. ive talked about this in other threads in the offtopic lately, but that spain match (as much as I like the korean fans), was just the icing on the cake.

I originally scoffed at the conspiracy theory after the Italy v Korea game but after watching the Spain game I agree there's definitely something fishy going on!  |

agreed.
that figure skating fiasco during the past winter olympics proved nothing is sacred anymore.

but what did you think about the goals? is this just ludicrous or what?
the conspiracy theory has certainly proven accurate so far. something has to be done about it, I mean if people all over the world are as infuriated as they are here, we wont hear the end of this.
I dont support Spain. but today was just a total injustice

basically a french judge was pressured into voting higher for the russian skating pair than for the canadian pair when it was obvious the russians were inferior... read about it here |

thats disgusting. sport is going downhill fast. if the fat men in the suits would keep their hands out of it, and continue groping their secretaries instead, it would be better for everyone.

its been a frustrating time for professional sports lately...having a difficult time thinking of any one sport that hasnt been contaminated...whether it be steroid use throughout baseball, judges and referees that can be persueded or manipulated, biting off ears or chunks of legs and not getting locked up for it, college athletes being bought off for point shaving scandals...damn its any wonder why we bother at all supporting sports anymore.
btw, cool avatar z.

I'm registering my disgust with F1 by refusing categorically to ever buy a Ferrari and I suggest you guys do the same!

Actually I was seriously considering restoring a Ferrari 328, but that won't be for a couple years yet.
