It hurts me to be called a sour loser, as actually (believe it or
not) I'm one of those who reacted more "positively" here...
(I'm already thinking about the Europeans and the next World Cup)
Oh yes, we're a mad populace!!
To give you a meter, RAI (italian national television) declared
that they're considering to asl FIFA to be refunded of something like
80 millions dollars, 'cause they say Italy should be yet in game
and people should watch the matches!!!!
Of course, this is too much even for me!
But it explains something that I'm telling from AGES:
there are money around football, and if they want to avoid trouble
(or if you prefer so, if they want to shut up people like us

)
they have to change the sistem referee + linesmen.
They have to use cameras, lasers, all you want. Technology is no
more a problem.
And of course, when a player dives, he should be banned from the
tournament.
Totti I think dived in the past yes, but just for the sake of discussion,
not this time.
The Korean player made a regular intervent, hitting the ball.
But he also hit Totti on the leg, and he fell, maybe he may have had
a "stylish" fall, but, come on!
The referee should have simply pass by the whole thing. Espulsion was
too much, and FIFA itself condamned Moreno about this...
Rivaldo DID dive!! Completely simulated the contact.
About Gaucci: as I said, Gaucci is a little mad.
But, wait a minute! He's the OWNER of a team.
If he doesn't like a player, he can sell him. Where's the abuse??
To tell you the truth, Ahn was really irritating the day BEFORE
the match.
Among other things he ARROGANTLY said that italian defenders were
OLD and SLOW and that he SURELY would make a goal (which turned out true).
Hey, a player should have RESPECT for other players, especially if they're older
and at the end of their career (like Maldini).
He's been very offensive.
And Gaucci has the right to decide what elements keep in his team, in
the end.
