How could they South Korea go to the semis? Well they were organizers, and were so much favorized vs Italy and even more vs Spain(goals cancelled for their opponents, red card nonsense for Totti,...).
I think thats your Italian heart speaking. If they were so bad Italy shouldnt have lost the match in the end of the match but should have won the game earlier. Saying that they were favorized is not right to say i think. They have had luck, that i would agree to. But they also had a real team. They played and trained for an entire year while the competition was shut down. Its a problem for most big nations. They are a team for a few days a couple times a year. This was their strenght and not that they were home nations. If so, Japan would have been in the semis at least also.
Well saying we were defavorized is true, then the referee had some problems I think anyway, we deserved to win this. Then I think we would have lost Spain, though. I also want to say they were more defavorized than us(two goals cancelled
). So according to me South Korea shouldn't have had done better than a 1/8 or a 1/4.
I think our team wasn't at the top 4 years ago, but what we did was sufficient to win. If we would have scored a second goal it would have been cancelled as well as for Spain.
I acknowledge I do not much remember what happened in our match, though. The only thing I remember is that the referees were for the local team, and favorized them too much.
