>I am sorry Mike, but I completely disagree with you, I just watched the match and in particular this play, and at best you can call it dubious, but calling it horrible horrible, or suspicius as Metin, is a stretch. I yet need to find any reference that says the referee did a bad call outside from fans, in the Argentinean newspaper they clearly state it was a perfect call (and I agree!), now, you might want to call the article biased, but you can not say they do not know the rules like the guys at ESPN <g> Also, The guys (I assume canadians) from the TV at first were outraged by the call, but after the replays they said something like "Well, technically the referee did a correct call, but you must sympatize with the Koreans"


Let's just leave it as agreeing to disagree. No problem here. I have a cold and not enough energy to fight. One of my ex-girlfriends told me sweetly that I was at my best when I was sick and she may have been right.

Enjoy the games today. After the slow pace of the first round -- by American standards, anyway -- the tension has heightened. Kill or be killed. Two games a day the next four days, then the quarterfinals, then the semifinals, then the championship. This is really fun. I wish it was more often than every four years but that's part of the excitement.

Joga bonita.
