LiveBlog: Switzerland-South Korea

   

South Korea seemed to have some hard luck with the referee who awarded Switzerland’s second goal despite a flag from the Assistant Referee. But they still needed to score two goals in this game and they didn’t look the same side in the second half. Switzerland look very solid and deserved to go through to the second round after not conceding a goal.

Final: Switzerland 2-0 South Korea



Late Say: Extra replays show that the ball was played at by a South Korean and deflected the ball into Frei’s path. Correct call by the ref in the end and a fair result for Switzerland.

Full-time: Switzerland top their group without conceding a goal. They will face Ukraine in the Roud of 16. France finish second and get Spain as their reward. South Korea battled hard and looked good enough to go through, but in the end they fell short.

93:29 – Last chance for the Koreans, but passes are going astray. Swiss efficiency has taken care of Korean hustle.

90:58 – 4 minutes of injury time to be played. Korean crowd loud and forceful but their team has lost their way in midfield. Chun Soo has been blunt in the second half and their attack has degraded to pumping balls into the box. Half chances and weak shots have come their way, but nothing with real vemon.

89:41 – Foul by Djourou and he is booked. Replay shows it was another dive. Jae Jin Cho wins an Oscar for that performance.

88:38 – Anyone else think the Swiss coach looks like Jon Lithgow of ‘Footloose’ and ‘Third Rock from the Sun’ fame?

87:11 – Behrami comes on for Switzerland to replace Wicky. Time ticks away and Korea cannot get possession of the ball.

84:13 – Korea really running out of time. They were robbed by the ref but they still needed to score two goals in this game regardless. Swiss will top this group and play Ukraine if Korea cannot find answers in the final minutes. Korean fans still in good voice.

81:45 – Great chance for Korea after a goal mouth scramble. The ball is struck against a swiss player and the ball rises towards the roof of the net only for the keeper to tip it over. Great reflex save.

81:03 – Still no idea what exactly has happened with the goal. German commentary sheds no light an the replay clearly shows the linesman raising his flag for offside. The ref can over-rule the linesman, but why would he? The AR had the best view and it looked to be the correct call.

79:00 – Booking for ’star’ Chun Soo for a hack. He would miss the next game if Korea pulls this one out.

77:50 – The replay shows the linesman did actually raise his flag for offside. The ref has given the goal. Confusion reigns here.

76:32 – GGGOOOOAAAALLL!!! Frei finally bags one. Korea is livid with the no call from the linesman. Or rather, the linesman flagged but was ignored by the ref as he points to the centre circle for the goal.

75:10 – Chances for Korea have dried up. Lacking some creative play in midfield to release their front pairing. Switzerland should deal with long balls into the box all night.

72:11 – Switzerland able to excert some pressure from set pieces like corners. Some nice build up sees Margairaz release Frei with a square pass into the box. Frei cannot control and the chance is lost when he only had the keeper to beat if he could have hit it first time. Is he the best striker Switzerland have?

70:20 – Defensive move for the Swiss as they sub the hard-working and creative Yakin for Margairaz. Are Switzerland putting their stall out and inviting Korea to beat 9 at the back?

68:19 – Wicky booked for Switzerland after a studs up tackle. Seen ones like that let go for nothing more. Ref has been invisible otherwise though, which is a great sign for the game.

67:12 – Korea working hard for a goal as you would expect. Holes are opening for Switzerland but Frei’s wasteful shooting is letting his team down. Those fast break chances you get when your team is under siege are what break the back of your opponent.

65:06 – Subs for Korea. Chu Young Park replaced by Ki Hyeon Seol who plays for Wolves in England. Straight forward for forward switch. Korea has a couple of corners but no real danger for the Swiss goal – the second one headed high over the bar.

63:43 – Frei rifles a shot against the upright from the same angle as the one he skewed wide mere minutes earlier. Practice makes perfect. Maybe he’ll actually get a goal tonight.

61:58 – Jung Hwan Ahn on for Young Pyo Lee. Ahn plays in Germany which may excite the local fans in the crowd. If they could read this blog. If they cared.

60:18 – France have scored their second through Henry. Korea will be starting to feel the pressure. Still plenty of time in the game but they must score.

58:40 – Yakin does well to shed his marker at midfiled and releases the right sided wide player for the Swiss (P Degen?). The cross is excellent but there is no support in the middle making the same run. The ball runs harmlessly across the face of goal.

57:19 – Alex Frei spurns another decent chance by shooting well wide from about 16 yards. The angle was tight-ish, but you’d expect him to at least hit the target from there. Nice buildup play to release him.

55:25 – Korea will not go through if the scores stay the same at full time. They have to throw bodies forward to get the equalizer and hope France does not score a second goal against Togo.

53:46 – Cries of handball by Korea as they mounted an attack on the Swiss box. No replays yet to show whether they have a claim or not. France have taken the lead through Vieira in the other game.

52:10 – Djourou replaces Senderos. Blow for the Swiss defence who will surely be weaker without his quality (and hard-headedness).

50:35 – Senderos leaves the fil again but it looks like an arm injury this time. Switzerland down to 10 men for the moment. Replay shows nothing conclusive.

47:50 – Korea pressing well and Switzerland struggling to clear further than their own defensive third. All players back for the Swiss.

45:39 – First shot of the half to Korea. #17 Ho shoots high and wide from the corner of the 18 yard box.

45:01 – Second half underway. Korea #4 Jin Cheul has dispatched the Wound Condom in favour of a single bandage around his head. The wound was continuing to bleed towards the end of the half, but I’m sure they have it patched up now, maybe a stitch or two.

Half-time Highlights: Togo holding France out in the other game. If it stays like this Korea is OK with the current score. Of course, you figure they will not give up on the result of this game. And you have to think with all the chances France is having, they will eventually score at least one on Togo. Regardless of the France result, Korea will no doubt want to finish first in the group to avoid facing Spain in the Round of 16. Switzerland has the same motivation, or course, which means we should see some more goals, or at least some attacking play, in the second half.

Half-time: Surprisingly open game. Solid chances for both teams, the Swiss just shading it with a great header from Arsenal’s Senderos. Korea has looked good enough to get an equalizer and sitting back on their lead sounds like the worst thing the Swiss can do.

47:03 – Alex Frei has a golden opportunity to double the lead with a free header in the 6 yard box. He gets touch but it slides well wide. Any sort of solid touch and he scores. Korea asleep on defence there.

45:00 – Chances coming thick and fast for Korea now. The Swiss are battening down the hatches trying to make it to half time with their slender lead. Senderos has had to briefly leave the field to stop the bleeding from the cut on the bridge of his nose. Guess they don’t make a stocking cap for that location.

44:10 – Another claim for a penalty after Philpp Degen rugby tackles a Korean player to the ground. Missed completely by the referee.

42:18 – From the corner Korea have a legitimate case for a penalty when the ball hits Mueller in the chest where he had his arm against his body. I guess you could say he wasn’t playing at it with his arm, but he played at it with his chest that had his arm across it.

41:02 – Barnetta gifts the ball to Chun Soo on the edge of the Swiss area and his shot is well struck but saved by the diving Zuberbuehler.

40:15 – Swiss crowd making themselves heard now. Wouldn’t it be cool if they had a yodelling chant? Just to reinforce some stereotypes.

38:55 – Yakin dispossesses the Korean defender on the sideline. His cross is half-cleared back to him but his volley goes well wide. nice chance created out of nothing from Yakin who is working hard tonight.

36:41 – Jinkyu goes into the ref’s book for a tackle from behind. From the resulting free kick from Yakin, the Korea keeper saves easily enough though it was nicely struck towards the corner the wall was protecting.

34:31 – Jaejin clashes heads with Degen and needs a stretcher to come off. Eventually he gets to his feet, but it looks like he just fell awkwardly on his rump. Seen a bit of that this World Cup.

33:30 – Free kick for the Swiss on the right wing. Vicious cross bending into the box. All it needed was the slightest touch but the keeper was first to it.

31:26 – Swiss looking like they have the more controlled possession. Korea not out of it by any means, but the Swiss are controlling the pace much better forcing Korea to play on the break. But that probably suits their style better anyway.

29:30 – Teams back to full strength. Some great action to liven this game up. Anyone know if the vests the Korean players wear under their jerseys are supposed to have any particular benefit?

26:52 – Both teams playing down a man as they get patched up. The Korean player has a wound condom on his head. He now rivals Chun Soo for a noticeable dome. He looks like a chicken leg with a paper crown. Senderos just has a small butterfly bandage.

25:25 – Frei is found free on the edge of the area but his shot bends wide and stays that way.

24:20 – Senderos won the duel in the air from a Swiss free kick and powerfully headed home. His follow through caught the Korean defender full in the face. Neither player went down clutching their faces in a rare show of hardiness. Great to see. This should open this game up even more.

22:45 – GGGGOOOOAAAAALLLLLL! Bloody nice goal by Senderos. Korean and Swiss player clash heads in mid air and both players are bleeding from head wounds.

19:45 – What do you think about ’star’ players doing things like Chun Soo Lee and colouring their hair to stand out from their teammates? Is it their own flair or are they doing it to get noticed by large clubs? I could not pick out a Korean player from a distance, but you remember the guy with the hair. Is that in the true spirit of team?

16:30 – Alex Frei hits a looping volley that does not trouble the keeper. Chances are starting to come in this game more. Swiss gaining confidence. Let’s hope for a goal soon to really open it up.

14:09 – In the other game, France almost take the lead but called for offside. This game will not be effected by the France result unless France scores a ton. As long as both teams come away with a point.

12:26 – Shot from distance by Korea. Hits the Swiss defender before reaching the 18 yard box.

09:10 – Great chance for the Swiss. Wide open down the middle and the Swiss striker Barnetta. His shot was hit into the legs of the desparate sliding tackle of the defense.

07:50 – Chances at both ends, both comfortably handled by the keepers. Will be interesting to see how the Swiss adapt to the non-stop running style of the Koreans. It certainly baffled the Italians (regardless of who you think should have won that game in 2002).

06:06 – Nice flop by the Korean defender to ease the danger. I’ve nothing against the ref calling fouls, I just hate the way players embellish every contact to make sure the ref sees it. Really detracts from the game, for purists as well as to a wider audience.

04:26 – Swiss have settled after the early scare. Frei gets a shove to the deck after the ball has already gone out for a throw. The ref has words but no more.

02:45 – Great chance for Korea. Nice run into the box by Lee, the white haired god. He laid the ball across the goal mouth but there was no support for the tap-in.

1:09 – Early foul against Sth Korea for a studs up tackle. Swiss with a chance to pump it into the box. Korea deals with it well.

00:01 – We’re off. Let’s see some more goals than the earlier games of the day. A draw will probably be enough for these two teams to progress, but if France racks up a cricket score against Togo it will certainly make things interesting.

Natonal Anthems: Swiss anthem very pleasant to listen to. Almost neutral. Sorry, that was the last joke like that, I promise. Swiss in red, Korea in white. Is it claustrophobic underneath those huge flags in the crowd?

Pregame: What is your prediction?
Few minutes more before kick-off in this Group G decider. Players are in the tunnel and the crowd is in fine voice. Lots of fans for both teams.

    ..here are the odds :
    1/2 goal advantage to S.Korea
    Can the Swiss win by a goal or more margin..?

    Prediction… 1-0 or 2-0

  • Matt

    Let’s go Swiss!

    I was fortunate enough to be in Switzerland during all of their qualifying games, including the game against Turkey. It was so much fun to celebrate with EVERYONE that evening in the small town where I was living.

  • John

    Korea! Go!!!

  • Ali Siddiqui

    I think it’s going to be either a tie or a Korean win. No goal predictions yet! Don’t want to jinx any teams yet.

  • http://pepys_s.rediffblogs.com/ mohan

  • Ali Siddiqui

    Apparently, the Sun Commentary online stream is more interested in the French game.

  • Ali Siddiqui

    19:45 it maybe arrogance or flair. But then again it sure makes you easier to find on the field and by the crowd. Kinda like Ronaldo, except, he’s gotten a bit too big to NOT miss. :P

  • http://pepys_s.rediffblogs.com/ mohan

    A goal for Switzerland and blood on 2 faces

  • andri

    yes yes yes !!!!!!!

  • freakaholic

    remember all the faux hawks at the last one?

    i think the hair style is more of them being a celebrity than trying to stand out form their teammates.

  • Ali Siddiqui

    Oh my. Blood again? A new trend for WC Football? Will we soon be needing to wear helmets and shoulder pads?

  • liam

    gg korea, no re kthx lol!

  • Enoch

    Korea will win even though in times when they start out not so well

  • Enoch

    Korea will win even though in times when they start out not so well like during 2002 world cup they beat Italy when they were losing 1-0

    that website is not so good.

    this is what i don’ like about live…

    they like kill me!

    whenever the ball get near the net i feel like i am goinf to die, i feel like my heart is going to stop all of a sudden

  • Matt

    Hey, what are these pay sites everyone is talking about? I haven’t been able to find any. I wouldn’t mind paying for something if its reliable.

  • Sora

    At work. Can’t watch the game.For those who are lucky to watch the game…
    How’s the overall environment at the stadium? the fans?

    Hence why you should use an audio source. No spyware and no downloads and no payments.

    don’t need audio have a radio at home

  • Andres

    Enoch, get TVUPlayer from download.com then check the ESPN or ESPN2 feeds, don’t know which since I’m using Univison.

  • Enoch

    i want to take a survey what team do you think is going to win this game korea or switze?

  • Enoch

    i personally think that korea is going to win even though they are in this situation right now. if you look back at 2002 they were in these kinds of situation a lot of time

  • Enoch

    apain is nothing we beat them in 2002

  • Enoch

    i meant spain

  • Enoch

    korea is doing better now

  • Enoch

    they are shooting like crazy

  • liam

    this game so obviously belongs to switzerland.

  • ETucker

    Korea will score the equalizer in the 70th minute or so.

    Probably Park Ji Sun.

    They are too fit for stupid European teams to try and nurse 1-0 leads…

  • Enoch

    thxs

  • http://blog.seattlepi.nwsource.com/worldcupfan/ dw

    France now up 2-0. Korea now really on the ropes.

  • Foobar

    With current scores in both games, if Korea scores on more goal and ties Switzerland, they win the whole group on point differential, with 3 teams getting 5 points. If it stays the same they are out. Wild stuff.

  • Ali Siddiqui

    Allez-Shuffle! :D

    with ahn in it will be a tie game soon enouh

    The FIFA website that you’ve put up is known for crashing due to the massive amounts of people going to it…it has crashed numerous times due to that. In some cases like the Brazil game the Live Video feed was so choppy due to the demand.

    Besides most of the individuals on this blog are here because we’re either at work and can’t watch or we don’t own TVs. :p

    or did i speak too soon? oh, confusion, thy name is fifa referees.

  • Enoch

    nooooooooooooooooooooooo

  • http://www.aresthetics.ch/trav Adrian Wagner

    yeah, the goal was ok as such. the last touch brining it to Frei was from a defender. It was very unlucky for the Koreans though, that the linesman raised the flag. but it’s a fundamental rule of football: keep playing until the whistle goes!

  • freakaholic

    ok, i was always taught: never stop playing until the center ref blows the whistle.

    is this different at the pro levels?

  • http://www.aresthetics.ch/trav Adrian Wagner

    too bad. i actually wanted switzerland AND korea go through. it was a very entertaining game today: goals, blood, chances, fighting to the end…

  • freakaholic

    i dunno. blame korea for stopping play.

  • Enoch

    this sucks

  • matthew

    i wanted france and korea. ah well…

  • Jan

    GG korea T_T

  • Enoch

    even i have no hope of korea winning

  • tuanny

    Just checking in… Oh, this is too bad for second round, if only because I thought Korean fans are the most fantastic… Their spirit equals that of English fans.

  • http://blog.seattlepi.nwsource.com/worldcupfan/ dw

    “good referee job. hardly even noticed he was there!”

    Thanks. This is what happens when you say things like that.

    What an awful call.

  • James

    Unfortunate, but unless the Koreans manage to pull one back, they can’t really complain.

  • ETucker

    You can’t have the linseman and ref at odds like that.

    This is why playing the offsides trap is so dangerous…you leave your fate in thehands of morons

  • http://www.aresthetics.ch/trav Adrian Wagner

    dw: the call was absolutely correct. the lines man screwed it up for the koreans. but like i said: as a defender you have to go after the ball until it’s given your way.

  • Griff

    adrian the call was incorrect, if the koreans had possesion of the ball and gave it up to a player in the offsides positions, then its not offsides, but it was a deflection so the offside call is based off when the ball was orginally hit by the swiss player and at that point he was clearly offsides

  • http://www.aresthetics.ch/trav Adrian Wagner

    Griff: you’re wrong on this. Sorry to say. But you are. When the Swiss player plays the ball – not in Frei’s direction – Frei isn’t offside. When it gets deflected to Frei by the Korean, he is…but it it doesn’t count as offside, because it’s from a Korean.

    But as James says, if Korea doesn’t score anyway, then there’s no reason to complain to begin with.

  • Enoch

    they need a mireacle to win and i hope it happens

  • James

    Don’t forget “Harry and the Hendersons”, perhaps the best movie in which a family adopts a sasquatch ever made.

  • http://www.aresthetics.ch/trav Adrian Wagner

    Plus, Korea had ALL the Fef calls on their side in 2002. Now they see how it is if they don’t.

  • Jan

    5 minutes left will korea pull a miracle?

  • ETucker

    He actually is John Lithgow…

  • James

    Has any group ever been decided by drawing lots?

  • Paul

    I can only remember “The incorrect offside.” Anyone can recognize that’s an offside. I am sure that any kid can see the flag of the offside sign, which was perfectly right. Fifa has to do something for this. Sometimes, the rule that Fifa has for the soccer game should get changed only if when all of the people say that something is completely wrong.

  • Mike Cissto

    I am very surprised by the reporting in this world cup and how none of the commentators on ESPN or ESPN 2 have talked about the very real possibility that France and Switzerland or France and South Korea could have ended up with the exact same scores and therefore the exact same goal differential, points, and goals scored. Think what would have happened if Korea tied it up and the final score was 1-1 and France stayed level at 2-0 against Togo. Then France and Switzerland would have had nearly identical results.

    Or if Korea tied it up and Togo scored one goal back.

    Then what the heck would have happened? (if my memory serves me correctly, a coin toss). I’m sure the viewers would have wanted to know and it is annoying that the commenmtators just kept talking about what would happen if the scores hold, like no other score was possible. Hello? there were 30 minutes left in the game when they announced that and plenty of time for the scpres to have been changed.

    Luckily, the referee called a goal for Switzerland. A veruy controvoersial goal, but secretly maybe he was thinking that was the best way to avoid a tie score?

  • andri

    i told ya we were gonna win!

  • http://blog.seattlepi.nwsource.com/worldcupfan/ dw

    The line for complaining about the ref is on your right. See where the Americans and Croatians are?

  • matthew

    “Luckily, the referee called a goal for Switzerland. A veruy controvoersial goal, but secretly maybe he was thinking that was the best way to avoid a tie score?”

    Are you serious??? Does that mean the ref has an earpiece with LORD FIFA speaking in his ear and telling him what to call based on athe other game?!

  • Enoch

    i am hearing ode to joy being sung by the koreans through the radio

  • http://www.aresthetics.ch/trav Adrian Wagner

    If everything is level, the lot decides. Very, very ugly!

  • andri

    top of the group eh? now that is a great surprise. knew we werent really neutral, not really! we actually kick ass!

  • Mike Cissto

    seriously, i would like to know what would have happened if they were all even and why no one on ESPN mentioned it.

    What does “the lot decides” mean?

  • andri

    hey mr tucker, dont call us stupid. be very careful which words you choose!!! I am serious!

  • freakaholic

    the offside call:

    i dont think the linesman and ref are at odds. linesmen are instructed to put up the flag if the player is in an offside position. it is up to the ref to make the decision once the ball is played. in this case, he was completely in his right to not call it if he thought it was a deflection, or korean played ball. the question comes down to who played it how when he got back onsides.

  • http://www.aresthetics.ch/trav Adrian Wagner

    freakaholic: excactely

  • angreesoccerfan

    boo to the retarded referee who is not even aware of the concept of the offside rule.
    that was RIDICULOUS!

  • andri

    the beauty of soccer is that there is one ref and he is god. he says what’s right and wrong! that’s the beauty of sports. not like other sports where you have instant playback and a jury deciding which way the game shall go. soccer has three parts: the two teams and the ref.

    that makes the game quick, fast, and entertaining.

  • Wuz

    the referee made a bad call in the last half. the swiss player Frei, was off sides, and the assistant referee made the right call. but then the other referee said it was not, so then they made a goal. very intolerant. they should fire that stupid ass referee.

  • James

    Mike,

    If two teams are tied in every tiebreaking category, they “draw lots” to decide. So if they can’t differentiate by numbers, they give up and basically flip a coin.

  • Carlos

    Koreans complaining about ref calls affecting curcial games…

    That’s rich!

    Anyways, even amateur players knows to not stop playing until you hear the whistle, and even then you don’t quite stop just in case.

  • andri

    well freakaholic is right!

  • Ally

    I think this game was really
    really not fair!!!!!!!
    Maybe it is because the president of FIFA is a SWISS!!!

  • Lurch McCoy

    Carlos, couldn’t agree more. Spain was absolutely robbed on a number of clearly incorrect calls against Korea in 2002. In fact, I think Spain would have had a very good shot at winning it all that year.

  • andri

    yeah of course, now the game wasnt fair. guys if you dont know the rules of soccer dont watch it. soccer has been like that since forever and just because some slow countries finally catch up with the rest of the world, doesnt mean we have to change all the soccer rules, just to accomodate the newbies. if you cant take it, go home!

  • Da Heo

    it seems that today’s game was a little unfair on the referee’s part. But Korea played a great game.

  • freakaholic

    i was mostly right, thanks. checked up on it, and if it HAD been a clean deflection off of a swiss play while frei was offsides, then he was still offsides. the update at the top though clears that.

  • Ali Siddiqui

    Ok so the 2nd goal was wrong as some of you say…but would Korea have gotten an equalizer with the way they’ve played today…I highly doubt it. Even with the 1-0 lead by the Swiss, Korea still has doing pot shots at the net…very sad.

  • http://www.aresthetics.ch/trav Adrian Wagner

    Again: if you watch your first WC, don’t talk rules.

    The goal was legal – and so say also all the experts. If you don’t understand the offside rule, keep watching a little bit more football. Plus, if you post here, you might want to read a bit what other people wrote before – we’ve explained throughly already why the goal was legal and what the relationship between Ref and Ref ASSISTANT is.

    Additionally, 1-0 would have sent the Koreans home as well. So stop bloody whinging!

  • Kingston

    This was such a unfair game. Something has to be done!!!

  • http://www.aresthetics.ch/trav Adrian Wagner

    Yeah, unlike Korea’s run in 2002. Everything was ok back then.

    Pfff

  • Tho

    Guys, the goal was legal. Frei was onside because you can say a korean player actually passed the ball.

  • http://www.aresthetics.ch/trav Adrian Wagner

    And for all the ’so unfair’ people. Rembember: France scored a goal against Korea that was disallowed. There will always be controversial decisions. It’s part of the game and over the long run it levels out.

    Congrats, Switzerland.
    It is obvious now that you guys
    are gonna win this World CUp 2006.
    When the other ref. raised his flag, everyone saw. That’s why they didn’t defend.
    The goal was soooooooo ugly.
    Man, this makes me hate the World Cup.

  • we want true worldcup!!!!

    the ball Alexander Frei kicked, it wasn’t a goal. It was not a goal! Koreans stopped because they saw the flag up and Frei kicked the ball although he knew it was an offside.

    yeah, like it was a true worldcup. It was just a dirty game with switzlend with their 12th player!!!
    yeah, like it was the real soccer game,
    it was NOT!

  • hey

    is the referee a blind?
    didnt he see the handlings in the penalty area? he sux man!

  • TooHon (Fighting Spirit)

    It was definitely not a fair game. Okay, let say the second goal was a fair result for the Switz as this site mentions. But, what about those unfair whistles not blown when it was an ABSOLUTE foul? If you don’t understand what I mean by the ABSOLUTE foul, go rewind the play. You will see it clearly. If not, you either have no brain or great eyesight.

  • Kim

    hey, referee!

    watch your back.

  • hoa

    I think the Swiss deserved their win. In the first half, their right side outrunned and outhustled the Koreans most of the time. They seemed to know the weakness of Korean left defense. I think they will have a good run against Ukraine in the second round.
    Great spirit and effort from the Koreans when they were 1-0 down. They kept on fighting hard for every chance. But their relentless attacts were fenced off by the strong Swiss defense.
    Again, we all witnessed a very bad referee’s call in this game. Althougt I think The Swiss still come out the winner whether this call is made or not, it is very dissapointing to see bad judgement from a FIFA ref at such a high level competition.
    Both the Swiss and Korean fans should be proud of their teams.

  • aww

    the president of FIFA wanted Swiss to win in his life time. They are finally going to the round of 16 in 12 years.

  • Deeply grieved

    To Mr. Joseph S. Blatter, President of the FIFA WORLD CUP, I am EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED in your leadership!!!

    A president is a leader who steps up to the plate to teach fairness. But evidently, he slipped on that fact.

    Mr. Joseph S. Blatter, obviously you’re from Switzerland and thus feel OBLIGATED, I suppose, to have your country’s team win. But, in reality is this truly fair? Such as, with respect to the referee…we all know is from Switzerland…expectedly supported Switzerland. I mean how can you have a referee present who is from one of the countries being played…like COME ON!!!

    FIRE THAT REFEREE!!!

    FREI made an obvious UPSIDE. That shouldn’t have been a GOAL!! come on! The other referee called it an UPSIDE, but that SUCK UP OF AN REFEREEE, persisted on!!!

    Also that referee, condoned or completely ignored some handling and penalties on Switzerland’s side…until at the very end…when it really didn’t matter!!

    I am deeply grieved as an American, that FIFA need to use its connections to win! Even a toddler can see this blatant unfairness.

    I worry about the future of FIFA and the leadership as well!! Mr.Joseph S. Blatter, I know that deep in your heart…or I hope deep in your heart…you see what great sadness and disappointment you have brought globally. I fear that others will learn from your sleazy, slimy leadership and worry for FIFA….

    I don’t know if I can love and enjoy FIFA any longer….

    deeply grieved….

    Dear Koreans: Think about the second swiss goal. Now think that it actually was an offside (it wasn’t) and it was still awarded. Then add a denied goal (or two) for Korea.

    Then carry this exact “Scenario” for 3 more games.

    …Then we have what happened in 2002.

    Please, stop complaining, the rest of the world can’t take so much irony.

    Go to youtube or googlevideo and search for the “controversial” (there was nothing controversial about it) plays in the Korea-Spain or Korea-Italy matches in 2002, I’m sure they are there.

    Then come back and complain.

    P.S. Last I checked, if that goal had been unjustly canceled, Korea would still have lost 1-0.

    Oh come on! Now you are saying that throughout the game the Ref was constantly calling things against Korea unfairly?

    I know you love your team and want them to win, but you really are being unreasonable. Welcome to real Football, you won’t always like every single call the Refs make, this is not 2002. Sorry.

    P.S. I am not taking the Swiss’ side, I am taking Football’s side. If you want to talk about flagrant bad refereeing talk about the Aussie game. There were two clear penalties not called and a player getting 3 yellows. THAT was refereeing affecting the game, today was not.

    CARLOS! Consider the penalities and fouls! EVERYONE, with the exception of YOU, saw that the ref was unfair…

    AND BY THE WAY, we’re not talking about football, but SOCCER! Stay on the same page please!

    Consider this Carlos, the ref had an affiliation with Switzerland!! Do consider that! How can you have a ref that is from one of the opposing teams…is that truly fair…EVERYONE ELSE DOES, and again except YOU!

    I AM NOT TALKING ABOUT THE AUSSIE GAME AND NOT FOOTBALL! IF YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT THAT, GO TO SOME OTHER BLOGG!! AND PLEASE WATCH THE GAME OVER AGAIN!! would you also change your prescription as well!

  • hoa

    The fact that Korea was favored by the ref’s calls in 2002 did not make the Korean team Now deserved bad treatment from the ref in this year WC. Soccer fans should all know that it is always the ref that makes the DECISION. we should all decry bad referees’ calls because bad calls make the winners their victory unconvincing. Bad calls ruin the beautiful game regardless of what team got the favors. And bad calls after all can cause the fans abandon the beautiful game.

  • Fair play please!

    Carlos, don’t ASSUME that I’m KOREAN and that’s why I support Korea! I’m a half AFRICAN AMERICAN AND HALF GERMAN, SO DON”T ASSUME and I THINK KOREA SHOULD HAVE WON!!!

    Neither Switzerland nor South Korea won in this game,beacuse Switzerland didn’t fair play.

    everyone who saw this game wouldn’t admit it.

  • Carlos

    Wow dude, chill. You don’t want to have a heart attack.

    I did watch the game, and also let me point out to you that EVERYONE =/= Irrational Korean Fans.

    Also, the sport is much more commonly refered to as Football than Soccer.

    You can keep on e-shouting all you want, your team lost and deservedly so. Sorry this isn’t 2002 anymore.

    You are very effectively portraying Korean Fans as irrational babboons, it’d be good for your country if you stopped.

  • Fair play please!

    Alright Carlos, sorry futbol is soccer in spanish right? Sorry, little brain laps, oh well!

    Okay i’m getting sick and tired of this. I KNOW THAT IT’S NOT 2002. PLEASE, STOP REPEATING YOURSELF. IT ONLY MAKES YOURSELF LOOK STUPID.

    And, excuse me? Irrational baboons?? Who the hell do you think you are? You have no right to be calling us that. And I TOLD YOU THAT I AM NOT KOREAN. I am not supporting MY country, because obviously this has nothing to do with MY COUNTRY. And by the way, we’re in UNITED STATES. Please, use english, not spanish. It’s SOCCER.

    Yeah buddy, it’s 2006, not 02. Think of something else to say.

    And my heart? It’s fine. I won’t get a heart attack any time soon. Kay, thanks. (:

  • Kim

    Carlos, are you a Swiss?

  • Sam

    Here are the facts.

    -The referee was bias
    -He was Swiss
    -Koreans don’t hate the Swiss, but the unfair referee

  • poline

    A quick search showed Horacio Marcelo Elizondo on Wikipedia as the one who made the unjustified decision on 2006 Swiss-Korea match and turning blind eye on 2 Swiss handballs. Korean fans, it’s not swiss players’ fault that the referee was biased. Swiss had strong defense, couldn’t score without the referees’s favor but don’t forget the award money is in Swiss Francs! Both teams played well IMO – if there was conflict of interest they shouldn’t have allowed such referee. Wouldn’t it be a sweet revenge if Argentina loses thanks to the biased referee? Peace!

  • D.K

    Oh my god, I just wanna kick the referee’s ass!!! I dont care whether it was offside, the flag was still up and the referee counted the frei’s second goal!!!! For sure, it was unfair game, but there is no shame losing this game because we played wayyyyy better than the switZ!!! Seriously, we did!!! I was hoping that both of the teams will make it to the next round but bad luck aye.. Hopefully better luck for the next worldcup~!!!!!!!!!!

    Good luck for the next round Swiz team! Worldcup rules~~ hehe

    Fair Play: Both Football and the English language were invented by the Brits (pretty clever name, huh? A ball you play with your feet!). If they call it Football, that’s what I’m calling it. Of course I also refer to it as soccer every now and then. I have no idea why you keep bringing this stpid point up.

    You can keep crying about the ref all you like. Have a blast!

  • pawan

    Italy vs Korea
    Spain vs Korea
    yeah home advantage and business, what is difference. Korean needs home advantage, FIFA need business and both of them got what they wanted.

    Did you even watch the games you listed above???
    I mean are you not just surprised by the score and prejudging that it’s corrupted judgement?

    and if you watched it and think that it was corrupted judgement by ref. Don’t you think today’s game was wayyyyyy more dirty and corrupted? Like the ref purposely put up the flag so koreans stop defend and let Frei score.

    carlos buddy, koreans calling the unfair calls rich? buddy, stop being such a republican and learn the game. clearly the whistle was blown for offsides. whether the defense runs or doesnt run, it dont matter. it calls for a halt. from fencing to soccer, if a halt is called, action must stop. people are penalized for continuing even if a halt is called; they are never penalized for halting when such an action is called for. that goal should not have counted. there was also intentional handballs where korea did a cornerkick to the swiss goal and a swiss defender handballed in the penalty, which should have resulted in a penalty kick for korea. another handball occured some time in the 1st half as well which was ignored by the ref. how does a ref miss these handball calls AND the offsides flag? this was an unfair game. im not saying it was unfair because korea lost. im saying it because the ref clearly held some bias to the koreans. whether if he was paid or if its just that he’s an incompetent referree whos regular occupation is a mere gym teacher in argentina, he absolutely must go. if i were in germany, this guy would not have a ride back home. maybe chuck him off a ship around alaska

    o yeah. check fifa regulations. the main post says that after much replay, the korean defender deflected the ball to frei, so it was legitimate for him? fifa regulations state that deflection from another side’s player to the attacker is not a pass of any sort, ergo, he is subject to be offsides.

  • Cristina

    This was such an unfair game.
    20 fouls for Korea?
    That does not make any sense. The referee is definitely imcompetent to do his job and he should be FIRED by FIFA immediately. Does he think that people who are watching the game all around the world are blind? This was definitely an insult to all the soccer fans all around the world and displays FIFA’s imcompetence to hire competent referee. Horacio’s mistake at Switzerland vs. Korea game shall be remembered and be criticized forever. Horacio should resign from his job immediately before he makes the history of FIFA go any more bad.

    FIFA, DO SOMETHING ABOUT YOUR IMCOMPETENT REFEREES!!!!!!

    It absolutely was a referee’s mistake .
    Our players became demoralized because of ONE REFEREE’s nonsensical judgment.
    FIFA President is a Swisser . I know. All Coreans KNOW that.
    I am very very disappointed with FIFA and I do not want to watch any football games

    I think that FIFA needs to take a hearing test, an eyesight test and a lie

  • http://www.aresthetics.ch/trav Adrian Wagner

    And still people have no clue what they are talking about! If you want to be a football fan, learn the rules first. There was nothing wrong with the goal and if you read some comments by experts, they all agree on that: the ball came from a Korean = no offside.

    IT’S REALLY NOT THAT HARD TO UNDERSTAND.

    And no Korean has the right to complain, otherwise we’ll remind of the by now 5 goals that were scored against them in the last two WCs that have been incorrectly disallowed!

    Dirty play? You will have to explain that, please. Don’t make bold statements, that you can’t back up with the rules.

  • huh

    We don’t care if it was an offside or not! We are saying the game is not fair because of the ref.’s misjudgement and the flag that was up, which confused Koreans and allowed the ball to go in.
    omg. you’re totally off the point!

  • gg

    In my previous posts, although I did not mention explicitly my upset over the offside called my the referee, I thought it was a very poor judgement. However, I just read some of the sport news and some of the post from the folks here and I knew that it was actually not an offside since the ball was deflected by a Korean defender. So I was wrong and good call from the ref there.

    I started following Korean team since their run to the semi-final run in the last WC. Although I believed (and so many soccer fans) that the team got help from the ref, I never doubt there skills, and especially their fighting spirit ’till the end.
    I felt sad when they cannot make to the next round in this WC. But I believe that Korean team with such a strong support from their fans will be a stronger team and maybe a title contender in the future.
    The Red Devils: gosh, I just love their enthusiasm. Their support for the team is just unbelievable. You are fantastic the Red Devils. Keep on cheering for your Warriors.
    final note: The Swiss deserved its victory, good jobs for not conceding a goal after three games. and Good Luck in the next round.
    The ref was awful in this game. Some of his calls were controversial, but I have to admit that the offside was a good call.

  • huh

    Once again, we don’t care whether it was an offside or not!!! What we care is that the assistance ref. had his flag up!, which stopped Korean defence believing it was offside and giving chance to the Switzerland to have a goal. It was cleary the ref’s fault.

  • Seon mi Lee

    Labor off side it judged, the chief referee the coat overlook disregarded the decision of labor. This case Um term it comes and. The Korean team opened the victory and defeat which is fair and square. Does the about five hang? Truth it is tantalizing. Switzerland it does not live like that E! ! ! ! !

    The authorization which comes the situation where the problem is becoming it is born but the off isn’t side thinks But off side authority like that virtuous mind which is with history to be to virtuous mind will come and off side..

The situation which it is doing.. Until that moment when the temper enters after the place temper which is a virtuous mind which holds the flag enters, the off side knows again ni..

If the decision knows and it is a plunger which the possibility one person our fielder cleaning enough is Off side nya isn’t.. Continuously is important and tus the place where it is coming to shed light.. The off side interlocks and it does not hit Anh case important it is not Off side.. The chief referee whom it recognizes in the place temper which is a ramyon and an off side the deformed person.. And. The off side knows and the ramyon, not to be U it listens to it stops, the flag and our defending line whole with one virtuous mind Passes over the situation and the chief referee whom it throws away is the deformed person, well! cyo. Also the Switzerland bow which sees the off side flag is distant and chis also the moment when it does sees clearly, This case hundred million it will cry clearly in our teams to do and that the situation which is resentful is right it comes to seem. Off side nya isn’t.. Is not the problem. And numerous condition flows and the green onion which it cuts off the decision which will cry and two time or disregarding a handle ring infringement there was to our team and it was a big shock. The South Korean team was fair and square and condition but the result which returns this mwen? Truth hundred million it will cry and to do it is tantalizing.

    and you did that.

    you can’t remove this blemish.

  • daehan minguk

    This is victory of Korea.
    Switzerland does not become the rival of Korea.
    The chief referee was filthy.
    Switzerland is always filthily game.
    Korea is not ardently attached in the game which is unjust.
    Korea which advances and Switzerland which degrades.
    The play of Switzerland is not a value.
    Switzerland bought over the chief referee.
    World Cup where Korea does not watch a game is not meaning.

    what are you doing ?!@#!$!#@

  • http://www.aresthetics.ch/trav Adrian Wagner

    You don’t care whether it was offside or not? Hahaha. Yeah, let’s bend the rules. Let’s bend them so that it’s always our team that wins. Maybe Korea should have started with 2 goals. I think that would have been fair.

    There was nothing unfair about the situation – if anything, blame it on the defenders! They stopped playing. Frei didn’t. They screwed up. It’s the Ref who makes the decision (in this case a correct one) and not the Ref ASSISTANT. That’s why the Ref hast the whistle and not the assistant. It’s the same in tennis: you have people watching the line and they can make calls – and the Ref can overrule, if he thinks they were wrong. The game is rolling until the whistle blows. It’s very simple. If you don’t understand that concept, then you shouldn’t be playing football.

    Hm. All experts opinons I’ve heard and read so far where clearly in favor of the decision. Yes, it was confusing, but correct. And again: the game stops, when the whistle blows. Stop being sore loosers, or we strip Korea of the 4th place in 2002, that they gained with 4 (!) wrongly disallowed goals.

  • I am proud of COREA

    The former of Switzerland comes and the judgment which is clear. When it follows in blood green on-ion regulation and the off side is right. And the panel mote where the Switzerland bow does the handle ring from inside the panel mote area but khik widely known it was not. It is like that and I request the staying in Seoul flag

    Jesus.

    ‘The flag was clearly up and with the media replay there is no way anyone can cover it up. The world is watching! The Swiss should not have received the second point. The big disappointment to the FIFA referee!’

    KC. In SIMPLE WORDS: the flag has no effect on the game. The only effect on the game has the whistle. Otherwise, please go and find the article in the game rules that reads ‘once the ref ASSISTANT signals an offside, the game is interrupted’.

    I can’t believe this. I actually respected the Koreans for their effort, but the more I read of this whinging about ficticous pro-Korea-rules, I think: well done France! Send the loosers home.

  • http://www.aresthetics.ch/trav Adrian Wagner

    And as for protest: yes, let’s protest against the 5 (in two World Cups) incorrectly dissallowed legal goals against Korea.

  • CALM DOWN

    Okay, so I have watched the game and I felt so sorry for the korean players. I don’t care if the referee was right or wrong. the FLAG WAS UP!!!! These of course made korean players stop going for the ball and have no defense for the goalie.

    Swiss players did well today but I do feel that it was the korean team who should have won.

    Switzerland vs. Republic of Korea = TOTALLY UNFAIR GAME, Why?

    KOREA has plenty of evidences to prove that this game was wrong.

    We definitely need to do re-match.

    1. The referee just ignored the players of Switzerland’s handlings.

    ->Seems like he pretended to ignore.

    2. The second goal was offside.

    -> Korean players stopped to play in the middle of game because sub-referee raised
    his flag.

    -> You can recognize easily that it was offside but referee did not stop the game at that time. The referee just accepted as a goal.

    -> Therefore, we cannot accept that as a goal.

    3. In the middle of the game, the referee just took away the ball from # 5 of Korean player.
    -> Have you ever seen this kind of situation?
    ->As you can see, he knew that the ball was coming toward him but he did not move.

    We got plenty of reasons that Horacio Marcelo Elizondo is not qualify to be a referee in this World Cup. We strongly raise our voice for re-match.

  • 강민구

    this was really not fair for korea.
    Me and my friends can not believe
    the call that referee made We DEMAND a rematch but this time with
    smart referee that knows the rule
    of soccer and that doesnt mess up.
    And maybe I’m wrong but I’m hearing facts, that referee’s wife is from switzerland but i don’t know for sure but if she is maybe its just simple favoritism. It is really not fair and my friends are REALLY dissapointed on that call.

  • http://deleted hu

    Sometimes the facts are distorted by the judgment.

  • Jackie

    That ref is kookoo. Not only was he “supporting” Swiss but when he was refereeing the match between australia and croatia. When a Croatian soccer or football player received yellow card for the 2nd time, no red card. 3rd time, red card. I mean everybody knows that 2 yellow cards equal red card. I’m not trying to be mean to Croatians but EVERYBODY knows that 2 yellow cards equal red card. So I conclude that the refree is responsible for this bloody game. In fact it WAS bloody because one from Korea and one from Swiss were injured. And I realized that Swiss is not a country known for their “superb” neutrality. And it’s so ridiculous that this event is called World Cup because there are only like what 2 countries from Asia, 2 countries from Middle East, 6 countries from Africa, 7 countries from Americas, and 14 countries from Europe! WOW

    This dirty, bloody, unfair game is over and it already happened. I’d rather want the referee to get FIRED not because of the soccer match between Korea N Swiss.) Other RIDICULOUS mistakes when he gave red card for the THIRD yellow card.

  • I’m even more pissed with this match because one Swiss guy attacked a Korean girl and he’s making her into a scapegoat.

Remembering the handeling during the France vs. Switz match and the should-have-been counted penalty kick Togo could have received and the two “invisible” handelings and the offside foul which the FIFA rules count though it was hit by the defending team,, Well, I do hope you guys are satisfied with yourselves… lets see how far u guys go

  • Malaika

    Did I miss something? Was Blatter refereeing the match? He must be terribly fit for his age. I thought the ref was from Uruguay.

    Seriously, dog-eaters, watch the game again and go see some K league matches instead of spreading your nationalistic visions. Learn the game, Love the game.

    BTW, Switzerland got 13 yellow cards in 3 matches. Guess Blatter forgot to brief the referees on this point.

    Losers.

    oh,, and just so everybody’s sure,,, what i mean by “count” is to count as a foul. check the website for urselves

  • Malaika

    Switzerland got 13 yellow cards, not 13 fouls. The fact Korea made 20 fouls and Switzerland only 8 is the reflection of the Korean technical deficiencies and Switzerland’s domination. Get real.

    About racist comments: I take dog-eater away, if you Koreans stop saying Blatter is in anyway responsible for Switzerland’s win. Because saying so is definetly racist.

    You just show to all you are bad losers, that do know very little of the game.

  • huh

    Ohmygod.
    Swiss people are just being rude because they are guilty of their filty victory. They are just insulting our culture because they KNOW the game was unfair. Why don’t you guys respond us by giving us examples in the GAME !!!What do you think about the handlings and the assistance ref. putting his flag up? and Frei’s goal, which deserves a yellow card because it was after the flag up.
    You guys can never prove that the game was fair!

    But we don’t have anything else to say about you guys beside the unfair game.

  • http://mm jinah

    I can’t agree with Kor VS Sui match. I want to held re-match
    Kor vs Sui Match.
    Kor vs Sui match is unreasonable!

  • What the hell!!

    Here are some facts that I hope you guys can all see….See this and I’m sure you guys will know that the Switzerland vs. Korean game was unfair!!!!!

    Referee Horacio
    -He was a Switzerland player

    FIFA President
    -Mr. Blatter (from Switzerland)

    FREI’s goal
    -That second goal shouldn’t have been a called a goal.
    -The 2nd ref raised his flag..the ref’s make the call! But Horacio argued back and called it a goal
    -SHOULD A TEAM BE PENALIZED FOR AN ARGUEMENT MADE BY THE REFEREES!!!!! IF THEY HAD NOT EVEN RAISED THEIR FLAGS THEN THAT BALL WOULD NOT HAVE SCORED!!! THIS IS NOT FAIR!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Guys, let’s go to the FIFA WEBSITE and click on the left column “site feedback” and voice your opinion!

    Congrats to Swiss, HOWEVER, THIS WAS AN UNFAIR GAME!!!

    대한민국 하나 되자! Corea 파이팅!!!!

    and go to

    SITE FEEDBACK!!

  • Malaika

    Frei’s goal is an easy story:
    Margairaz wants to pass the ball to Barnetta on his right. A Korean defender tries to intercept the ball and makes an unfortunate, but beautiful pass to Frei who scores brilliantly.

    You want proof the goal was fair: read the rules of the game.

    A player in an offside position is only penalised if, at the moment the ball touches or is played by one of his team, he is, in the opinion of the referee, involved in active play by:
    - interfering with play or
    - interfering with an opponent or
    - gaining an advantage by being in that position.

    Taken from FIFA’s website.

    Please notice the words “one of his team”.

    The linesman didn’t see it was a Korean which made the final pass to Frei and therefore rose his flag. The main referee saw what really happened and let the game run as normal.

    Now if you don’t understand that this is how football is played and rules, I suggest once again you all go to an actual stadium to watch a game instead of being once every 4 years in the middle of 200′000 fanatics in front of a big screen.

  • huh

    yeah I agree with you about what had happened.
    But who is going to be responsible for the assistanse ref.’s misjudgement?
    He stopped Korean defenders by putting up the flag making them believe that it was offside.
    Whether it was an offside or not, the game should have stopped than to make it fair. Unless the assistance ref. purposely putted up the flag to confuse koreans to let Switzerland win.

  • Raymo

    Now the whole world can observe the Koreans’ real character through their posts here. (And don’t try to pretend that you’re not Korean because we know that you’re lying.) What immature, racist, CRYBABY losers you are!!!

    When the game went your way, you preferred to look the other way,
    But now that the call has caused your fall,
    You cry and cry “foul call, foul call!”

    What poor sportmen you are. Why don’t you get a life, you sore losers? After all, it’s just a game.

    go there and sign to protest against the numerous unfair calls made by the ref in the korea swiss game. everything’s more elaborately explained in the site. just go and sign and pass it on to people so that some drastic damage can be done to the ref and to fifa’s board for letting this pass. if we can pass it quicker, a rematch can be a possibility.
    you might not care for the sport or the korean team but please sign. this fight is to fight against the unjust and injustifiable treatment given from the ref to the korean team throughout the game.

  • http://donthave Henry

    Today.
    Ukraine VS. Swiss.

    I took an objective view,
    even Though I’m a Corean.

    Switzerland couldn’t win without Support of the Chief Umpire.

    . . . and what was worth,

    their extraordinary “Handling Art” was no help at all.

    +
    Anyway,
    You did a good job, swiss.
    I mean it.

  • korean

    if ‘FIFA world cup 2006′end, i remember this unfair game.. forever.

  • Olivier

    Both Swiss and Korea played well. It’s sad that the ref killed the game with the second goal because after that korean motivation has fall appart and it’s understandable.

    Finally Korean can be proud of his team, they played a great football.

    However for the Korean fan who express themselves here, be like most of korean : be fair and don’t discredit yourself by insult or hysteria. Don’t do what “supporter” do in France, Portugal, Italia, England etc.
    Anyone know the Ref decision was bad, you know it in your heart. So just be fair and express yourself with calm. As this anyone will remember that Korean are great people and that luck and ref was against them, but agressive reaction will change those though and people will only think you are narrow minded, not fair and will not remember the reason.
    Just for the story, when I saw France-Korea on giant screen in a stadium in paris, Korean was supporting their team between them, good ambiance… until french agitator annoy them sometimes insulting them. (I’m sad to be french when I saw guys like them). During Swiss-Korea, I saw it in the korean embassy and it was a good ambiance even after the game. Because korean, even disappointed, as applaused. This is the korean’s spirit (and of course at the subway near the embassy right after the game some french made fun of koreans, this, is the basic stupid french supporter’s spirit)

    So one more time this was a good match between balanced team but luck and ref have make the decision. Anyway people who saw this game know that Korea play a great Football. Lee Won-jae was amazing on this game and other players have do their job. The Red devils was also great, it’s not like french supporter… A week ago we taked about France and their 2 point (before France-Togo) as a poor team and we blamed it. And today, they win against Spain and they remain the National Hero… At least Korea are proud of their team anyway, not just when it arrange them.

    So Korea is not qualified to 1/8, but anyway they can be proud. I hope in 4 year they will improve their skill again and proof that they are a great nation, because they really are.

    Forza Corea !
    Allez les bleus ! (hey, I’m french after all…)

  • Kevin Lee

    I was so disappointed by FIFA.. I just hope this kinda match never happen again

  • Julie

    Well.. as for me Korea is still the best soccer player i’ve known. The red devil are the best supporters i’ve ever seen. Truly, let’s just forget this behind.it’s over..but the fighting spirit will never over.
    Korea will be back !!

  • 0zoo

    the Switzerland team is good handball team

  • Steven

    First of all, people shouldnt be making judgements about a certain nation because of some soccer game.

    Second, the call made by the ref was completely based on his own train of thought. His call is not at all backed by FIFA rules and regulations.
    Here’s a quote, “According to the FIFA regulations, deflections DO NOT count as possession.” ANd if you think about it, if deflections WERE considered possesion, wouldn’t shots that are deflected off a defender be considered an own goal? no. therefore that rule was made up by that faulty ref.

    Last, there is no WAY korea could have gathered the fire or the passion to come back and win that game after such blasphemous calls made by the ref.

    Anyway, people who make racial remarks, especially Korean people who make racial remarks because of this issue, are a disgrace. It doesn’t help our korean image either.

  • Jenna

    “FIFA regulation states deflections don’t count as possession, ergo the pass was clearly offside.” This was found on Wikipedia online, and the rules are clear on the FIFA website.

    Although the ref has the final say over the assistant refs, experienced players STOP playing once the flag is raised, noting that the ball is no longer in play.

    At this time, when the ball was CONSIDERED to not even be in play, Frei attempts a goal. He makes it, naturally, because NOBODY ELSE IS PLAYING. Even he himself, along with the rest of the Swiss team thought the goal didn’t count. Only when the main ref declared it as a goal were they jumping around and celebrating. To count this as a goal is not much different from Frei playing alone with nobody else on the field. The commentators in the US also added that the goal was definitely offside.

    Twice during the game, there was handling of the ball in the penalty area by the Swiss during Korea’s corner kicks. No call by the ref whatsoever. Is it even necessary to point out that it was unfair?

    After that invalid second goal which was somehow considered to be a goal by the main ref, the one person’s opinion that mattered, the Koreans had no will to play. Who would? Many people, including myself, believe that Korea had a chance to tie the game with the Swiss had it not been for 2nd thing that can’t even be soundly called a goal. With a tie, Korea would have been able to advance to the next round. Needless to say, this is just speculation, we can never know if they would have tied. However, it can’t be argued that Korea completely lost their fire after the unfair call, which affected the entire outcome of the game. There almost always seems to be some sort of bias and favoritism from the ref, and that is expected. But this seems to have surpassed all known and acceptable forms of bias.

    I’m not saying that Korea would have won the World Cup. I’m not saying that had Korea tied with Swiss and moved up instead of France, we would have beat Spain. But in the name of justice and fairness, that second “goal” was indeed not a goal. The Swiss fairly scored the first goal, there is no problem with that. If Korea advanced to play Spain and ended up losing, FINE. At least it was fair. It is simply the concept of fairness, and the lack of it in the Korea-Swiss game that the fans are aching over.

  • Ih8Swiss&Elizondo

    I am a Korean
    You know what?
    All you ppl who think That PIG HE had fair decisions were right:
    IT IS JUST THAT THE REFEREE PLAYED BY THE RULES OF HANDBALLING!!!!
    Ha Ha
    I h8 u ppl who think that pile of goat slime and i h8 HE and I h8 Swiss

    u ppl who think He is right,
    go see korean websites:
    look at how many ppl think u r right:
    I am sure those ppl will kill you for granted….
    And I will personally want to shake hands w/ ppl who have killed U

  • ah pile of bull shixt

    pssst. We all saw Swiss how played against Urkaine. Bottom line, Swiss cannot kick the ball.
    They are not even qualified for U20. Just go back to your moutainous place and learn how to make PK in snow. THat will help ya.
    And fire that Fuxkin Ref. from Argentina. You are most shameful person next to Mr. Godhand.

  • Tae Hyun

    I can’t believe what i saw. the swiss scored a goal that might have been an offside. To be fair I don’t think that was an offside. Because of this swiss’ ranking is 13 and Korea 56. I think we could have made a miracle. I saw two handball which could have been two penalties. I hope that referee will never come back

  • Sophie

    hm
    i thought the korean soccer team was playing against the swiss soccer team, not handball team.
    and i thought the 11 korean soccer players were playing against 11 swiss soccer players, not 12.

  • SWiss is a piss

    First off,,, Swiss are assholes,,, bastards… u know u guys didnt win fairly… and u consider ur self a winner.. what a pitiful thing to think about,, everybody knows that u cheated… everybody knows the games between Swiss and SOuth korea was a tough luck korea game.

  • DaniLocuras

    To all those Koreans who feel cheated due to the Swiss-Korea World Cup Game, just let me say that Karma works every time. A lot of you Koreans feel cheated, because you felt that Korea should’ve gone further in the World Cup due to their strong performance in 2002. Well, in reality, Korea just demonstrated what their football is truly made of, because the victories gained in the 2002 World Cup came about through cheating!!! The whole world saw how unbelievably poor the refereeing was in the Italy and Spain matches in 2002. Everyone recognized that foul play occurred when horrible calls were made except for Koreans!! What about the offside call made against the Spaniard when the ball was obviously inbounds and the legitimate goal that was also annuled!? huh?? Lastly, who won the 2006 World Cup? It is truly suspicious that Korea (being the host in 2002), would’ve fairly beat a team of the quality of Italy, who had already won 3 previous World Cups. Also, how convenient was it for ‘Hyundai’ to be the sponsor of the 2002 World Cup. I wonder if some of that big corporate money had to do with the bad decisions that were made. Me and all my friends; including a girl from Taiwan, feel that the 2002 World Cup was the most fraudulent in the history of the World Cup. If the Swiss player intercepted a bad pass from the Korean player and scored a goal, then the ball was still in fair play. Second: Koreans don’t know how to celebrate football and don’t have a passion for the game as other nations have had for decades. I was stationed in Korea as a soldier in 2000, and mostly noticed a passive attitude from the public at large when it came to football. In fact, it seemed that most people gave just as much attention if not more to baseball. That’s right. To ‘Henry’ and I’m ‘Korean:’ In Football the man who makes the calls is called the Referee not Umpire! Besides, what kind of football fans wave foam arms as if it were baseball? Football should be celebrated like Football not like Baseball. When it comes to World Cup Football, the real cheater is Korea.

  • cheloo

    Look, I live in Korea and i went to the World Cup Stadium in Seoul to cheer for Korea among 60,000 people at 4am, but pleaseeee… the referee in Switzerland vs. Korea was FAIR!! it’s absolute garbage to blame the result on the referee, when Korea didn’t even have one decent chance to score, and they had to score two times.. the second Swiss goal was 100% valid, if you know anything about football and are not blinded by nationalism you will agree.. the ball was played by a Korean defender to the Swiss striker, the referee cannot call offside on that.. the linesman did his job to show the offside position, but the referee decided correctly that since a Korean defender played the ball to the striker, the offside position is cancelled..
    Come on Korea, accept the fact and let’s put a better team together for the next World Cup.. I’ll be there to cheer the Korean team on.
