How the hell does the ball go into the net?!
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.

I'm afraid this is not true. I've checked everywhere and no-where does it say that he is going to miss the final game.
I heard that from the broadcast. I was checking out that too but couldn't find any hard facts. Anyways, there are only 2 games left for them and he is definately gonna miss the next one. I am hoping he only miss one game.
I remember Henry (France) was also sent off by a direct red, by the same ref.

Talks about soccer fans. It was weekday 2:30 afternoon, live broadcast of Brazil vs England, we had this (Time Square, Causeway Bay, Hong Kong)

hehe... almost every game Korea plays there are tons of people cheering all over the country.
Sure its not for every game, just Korea, but still. smile.gif

Seoul City Hall is just an example.



Yes... those red things are people in red t-shirts.

Too crowded for me so I just stay home and watch the game on tv.

Words from Pele(the greatest soccer player):

FWC: Among the four teams in the quarter-finals who are not the “usual suspects”, Korea, USA, Senegal, Turkey – which one is likely to go the furthest in this FIFA World Cup™?

"I think Korea is the team which can surprise everyone here thanks to their physical condition and to the way they play. I was surprised, because normally when the home team is under a lot of pressure, they make mistakes. But Korea were the opposite. They gained confidence from the crowd, getting stronger and stronger. The team did not care about the pressure. I think Korea is a tough team to beat."

Wow, I can't believe Korea won... Once again, they got lucky with the Refs, but still played a great game.

Lets see how they do against Germany.

I know I know, but still, I'm seriously not gonna get all proud that the team I picked made it, cause I doubted them. (Would that count as jinxing the luck to this point?)

Although a lot of my hardcore soccer friends (mostly European followers) have commented on the fantastic strategy and play of the Germans keeping their games interesting from start to finish. On the board I doubt them, but all my friends know who I go for every year.
