Spain V South Korea, is this a joke or what??

***Zardon*** · Jun 22, 2002, 08:06 AM

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.

***Zardon*** · Jun 22, 2002, 08:13 AM

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.

agreed.

i just left work and sat my ass down in the local pub...'lo and behold, anna "how sweet thy arse' kournikova was on playing in her wimbledon tennis match (no surprise, losing)...and my faith in humanity and professional sports was restored. damn, what a bod!

worth reposting...

Thats just like that stupid Michael Shumacher win in F1 when Barrichello had to pull back....Everything in entertainment is set up nowadays.

PS....At least they let him win yesterday.
