After what the Korean had achieved, I hope and think they can go all the way into the final. Many had blamed the match officials for Korean wins but still luck is still on their side. Will be great to see them in the final.

Pleeeeeeeesssseeeeeeee....if Korea wins the cup there will be a HUGE backlash, especially considering the politics behind the team and the favorable calls they got from the refs.
This is getting to be almost as bad as boxing & Don King! Well, except that Don King doesn't have aspirations to be president...

Hmm...well, if they get into the final there may be a *small* backlash, but I will be just as pissed ;(

But still if they really entered the final, only the best team will win the Cup. Needless to say, the best team left in the Cup is the Brazilians. So they will be no "backlash".......

...but only the best teams should have made it this far and into the semis. Do you belive that they did?

in 1998 France win every single match without losing a single ball !!
and in final win Brazil 3 nil !!!
its 3-0 bro, not 2-1
so its possible Korean might win the cup,
Brazil first match with Turkey was almost a draw game(1-1 except the pen kick) and they are meeting each other again !! should Turkey hit Brazil again with a draw then pen shootout? which lead Brazil to leave the pitch? no one can tell tho...Brazil fan support your idol now !! as for me... who have the highest pay rate i will by who win

No teams will exchange jerseys with the S. Korean team after their matches. News programs continually replay video of the convinient ref mis-calls that have got Korea this far. In Taiwan, the phrase "Asia's Shame" was even mentioned on a news program, grabbed out of a Kimo discussion thread. Half of the population of the world is calling it luck and the other half is calling it calculated scandal. If S. Korea wins the cup, especially if it is won with the kind of "referee cooperation" as their last couple of matches, no one will call it luck anymore...how many "lucky" calls do you think S. Korea will get in their next match? :dunno:

In other matches, the officials also do make mistakes. For example, a US goal was been stopped by a German using his hand at the goal line but was not spotted. So do you called it "referee cooperation" too???

If such a "mistake" occured in Germanys favor more than once and for a couple of games strait, yes. But it was just a singular event/mistake that happened to work for Germanys favor...and I say this being an American who wanted to see the U.S. progress to the semis. I understand singular mistakes and that they happen. I understand singular instances of luck and that they happen. I don't understand regular repeated mistakes and luck. Well, the universe is an infinate place of infinite possibilities so I guess anything is possible.
