I recall seeing none, besides 3-4 calls that benefited Korea in the aforementioned games. | ||

That entire tournament is a horrible memory from an italian viewpoint. They had a number of goals incorrectly disallowed in the group stage (there's a funny video of that), and there were some dubious calls in that game against Korea (Korea's penalty, Italy's disallowed golden goal, Totti's second yellow, the obstruction against Totti just outside the box, the fact that the referee (Moreno) has been banned for fishy shit). Ah, making excuses eases the pain.  But nothing eases the pain more than the fact that the Karma wheel turned against Hiddink 4 years later (Italy-Australia 2006). Payback's a bitch, ey? As long as no one says anything about how the entire history of football boils down to luck, I'll stop talking about and defending Italy now. | ||

Damn, all this WC history talk has gotten me all worked up; I'm already super excited for the upcoming WC! Italy has a weaker team than last time around, they lack creativity; no trequartista, no Nr10. The defensive part looks pretty damn solid as usual, but in order for them to have a realistic shot at retaining the title I think they either need a Totti comeback or for Lippi to stop his stupid grudge against Cassano. I don't know how much you Premier League fanatics has seen of Cassano, but he is pretty much single handedly making Sampdoria a top team. It is not a stretch saying he's the best italian footballer right now. Lol. | ||

the biggest talent with Cassano imo would be Villa. that guy can be a legend if he goes to the right club , but he's staying in Valencia | ||

The players who stay with their original teams are the true legends even if they never win champions league. The history of football is first about the world cup and second about the national leagues. Champions league is originaly a money making scamn. Don't get me wrong, I love watching it because it's top class football, but if you ask me who won it five or ten years ago, I don't know and I don't care that much either. | ||

Maradona, Cruyff , Di Stefano ,etc. Im just dissapointed to see Villa waste his talent on a team that will not even fight for the CL or else. don't get me wrong i think Valencia is a good team but imo he can perfectly succeed on any top european team nowadays. | ||

And Milan-Cagliari is a fucking great game. 4-2 thus far and Ronaldinho is kicking ass. | ||
