WC Group G: Switzerland vs. South Korea [R]

[Pingtung]

2-0 Switzerland lead right now, the second Swiss goal shouldn't have counted, what comes around goes around for the South Koreans.

Edit: my bad it's 2-0

 

[Jedi Mind Trick]

who scored for korea?

 

[johnnybrubacker]

i think this ref is joining poll on the plane home, the refereeing has been poorer than 2002!

 

[Virgo]

no one, it's still 2 - 0.

Korea out of the WC, Switzerland wins the group and Spain x France in the Last 16

 

[barthez4]

France really deserved to be in the next round. They were so amazing this past month.

It's **** that so many teams who play a good brand of football are going home.

i've been reading the second goal was very controversial and shouldn't have counted...

can anyone confirm that?

anyways, i knew a controversial call was gonna come back and haunt us. karma is a, you know.

dick advocaat is VERY questionable, from the subs he made to the players he kept.

the lineman thing was a truly WTF moment, but we weren't good enough anyway. we had chances, but couldn't capitalize on them...

goddamnit, first the US and now korea...

If you're referring to the 2nd Swiss goal then the ref was right.

 

[Help?]

Damn, Ukraine might actually make it to Quaters. Too bad for Koreans, they ran out all of their luck in the last World Cup.

yea that's pretty much what i've been hearing. i didn't expect to see park chuyoung start today in such an important match.

but if we can't convert our opportunities, yea, we shouldn't deserve to go.

even with the u.s. and korea out, this world cup has been amazing, and it will continue to be so.

congrats to switzerland...i hear they played well.

 

[Johnny_Big]

Korea goal!

Play hard go pro!

Yeah, Dick Advocaat isn't the best coach around. In Euro 2004, he had the luck to have some class players like Robben or Davids...I think the Semi-finals were too much for Holland.

And Korea got lucky against France...I think they don't deserve to go through. France deserves more.

its a clear goal...Frei was behind the defence but the pass was made by a Korean player...so, no off-side

 

[bigp]

The controversy was on the 2nd goal. A Swiss player was passing the ball, it deflected off a Korean player to Frei and he scored. Frei was in an offside position but since it hit the Korean player it negated the offside call.

 

[Krypton X]

Well played both teams, that was quite an intense match. Asia's last hope S. Korea are out but were unlucky not to grab a goal or two but the Swiss also rattled the Korean bar.
I thought Switzerland's 2nd goal was correct since a Korean defender was the last to touch the ball before Frei took it and scored. Hakan Yakin was great for the Swiss, he came up with some sensational freekicks. It's unbelievable that the Swiss hold the best defensive record in the competition so far.

I feel real bad for the Korean fans, they were some of best in this world cup, didn't wanna see them go out so early.

 

[Jedi Mind Trick]

thanks, dobrin and bigp.

lee ho
park joo young
lee young pyo on the right wing (midfield), then subbed by ahn

would've been amazing if lee dong gook made it. but then again... anyway I'm happy that advocaat is heading out to zenith st.petersburg or whatever. we have a future, we'll get better (that CB gap is still a problem though).

 

[Help?]

The 2nd goal was definietly correct, good to see that at least some refs here know what they are doing.

 

[johnnybrubacker]

If you're referring to the 2nd Swiss goal then the ref was right.

yeah, the ref was correct, i just saw the replay right now, good decision by him but still i think the standard of refereeing in the world cup has been poor

 

[Johnny_Big]

No.

Except 1 or 2 games, the refs were ok so far.

*reminds of Graham Poll*

:fool:

 

[faceNside]

It wasn't offside.
