Brazil!!!!!! - Advantages: Hindsight is always 20/20 - Disadvantages: Bugger, the comp closed

It's the third time I follow the World Cup of Football. I must say I was really disappointed to see so many stranges mistakes of the referees of this competition. France, Argentina, Italy, Portugal, Spain and Belgium were eliminated before the semi-finals. Too many bad decisions of the referees were decisives...and an indecent team like South Korea in Semi-Final.

On sunday we'll see the final game in the 2002 world cup, it's then another wait of four years until the fever hits us again. Yes I know we have the European championships but it's not the same.

But I cant see Germany fearing either of these teams. It could be argued that the Germans have not had the toughest run to get to the final, however, they have done what they needed to do and ...  Read the complete review

South Korea 2 italy 1 a golden goal four minutes form time by South Korea!!!! This world cup is fast become the most famous ever as one by one the so called BIG teams or the favourites get knocked out by shock defeats. France, the European and World Cup Champions knocked out in the opening round after not scoring one single goal. Argentina, who romped the South American qualifying section miles ahead of the likes of Brazil, also knocked out in the first round. Cameroon and Nigeria, the two African nations cup finalists-out. Now Italy out to the hands of South Korea. There could never have been and probably never ...  Read the complete review
