Even if I am Korean, I personally think that Italy is a stronger team with each player better ball handling technique. But I believe there are 2 reasons that Korea won Italy, one is that Korean players have better stamina and fitness(Did you notice that Italian players were really tired at the over time?), the other is that Korea had over 40000 fans filling the stadium, over 10 percent of population gathering in the streets cheering(or praying) for Korea to win. eek! eek! eek!

Here's a great link for everyone!

Roberto Baggio's Free Kick Contest <---------- Clicky, clicky!
God, I'm addicted... eek!

About the whole bandwagon issue, I stick with my local teams... how does everyone else pick their teams? It seems logical to just go for who you could see the most live and on TV.

damn! 2-1 Brazil. I was hoping a tie but England just wasn't in the mood and no way A. Cole and M. Owen were replaced. But I have to admit Ronaldinho was good at both goals. The free kick was right at the upper left corner just under the cross bar. And the assist faked so beautifully. Too bad he is gonna miss the rest of the world cup because of the red card.

Yes it was a great game. Even playing with 10 men since the 55th minute, Brazil proved to be too strong.... again!!!

I don't know what Seaman was thinking on that free kick! I believe he was trying to play a cross to the striker and sadly got beat! The English hooligans won't be too happy about that one. As for the red card, I think it was a good call. Even though his foot was 1/2' off the ground he caught the guy with his spikes. That's an automatic red card everytime unfortunately.

Etep, are you sure he's going to miss the rest of the World Cup? I had thought that he is only going to miss the next game.

JVX...... I'm addicted too!

Yep, he is. 2 yellow to a red misses one game. A direct red misses 2 games.

If you are talking about the computer game, try using only half of the power, aim at the corners, curve only a quarter and keep trying cuz the wind changes and each time the result is different.
