Refs made the calls, Spain and Italy had chances to win the game as did the Koreans on several occasions but blew it.
No, I'm straightforwardly alleging corruption. Other than the fact that the Koreans were allowed to foul at will the Italy game wasn't too obvious until it went to extra time, where Moreno clearly had to choose a side. The Spain game was something else though. In the case of Morientes' goal, I don't accept that a linesman can make that kind of mistake in good faith. It was in stoppage time, the ball was about to be crossed, and up went the flag. Disgraceful. (As was Hiddink's bad faith in that quote, incidentally.)
If France go far in this tournament I wonder if it will get the same reaction. From irish fans maybe :)
The difference there is that it's possible not to see a hand ball (Phoenix game, anyone?). Seeing a ball completely out when it's completely in, and there's nobody obstructing your line of sight, and it's the only thing you have to look at, requires determination.

I can confirm I wasn't actually suggesting torturing Craig. Just looking for novel ways to beg him to stop already with the theatrical condescension.

Seriously, let's not go there. It was embarrassing stuff, the Koreans themselves ought to have been ashamed of it.

Incidentally, between you and Russell you did a pretty sterling job of illuminating both the issue itself and the issues pertaining to its coverage. Thanks for that.

Ignorance of what?
Of the rules. I thought that's what you meant. IANAL, but in Italy proverbially you cannot use ignorance of the law as a defence. Sounds like you're confirming that it's the case in NZ as well.
-
if they erroneously thought they were entitled to it, it's not theft
Is ignorance a defence in New Zealand then?

Well what do you do? Wake up in the morning and say darling who's got the credit card today? Why don't you just go and get your own one?
It's hard to disagree on that one, actually.

And Gio, "well" is the trigger prefix you need to look for :)
Hey! I don't want to kill the man. I'm not a monster.

specially Korea dunting out the Italians and the Spanish muhahahaha.
Yeah, don't bring them up. The game against Italy was bad enough, but the one against Spain was scandalous. I still can't believe they got away with that.

I'm keen to patent a device that sends a mild electric current through Craig every time he starts a post with "*sigh*". I've got proof of concept, anybody want in?
