Title: What A World Cup
Post by: bez on June 30, 2002, 02:24:48 AM
lets not remember all this controversy about Korea.  Lets not remember all the linemans mistakes.  Lets remember the World Cup 2002 as it should be.  Fantastic.

There was a lack of real quality, apart from Brazil, but honestly y'all, I can remember all of France and USA, and South Korea/Japan was far more memorable than those World Cups.  We had a good Final for once.

The memories will live longer than France '98 or USA

Senegal dancing around after they'd pulled off the biggest shock of all time

The Korean fans

Mexico beating down Kobi Jones

The emergence of the USA

Robbie Keane's last minute goal against Germany (Get in!)

Ahn's Golden Goal against Italy

Joao Pinto punching the ref

The return of Ronaldo

Ronaldinho's free kick against England

Sukur after 10 seconds

Batistuta crying

Beckham's penalty

It was dramatic, there was highpoints and lowpoints but this World Cup was far better than France '98 or USA '94

not really

You're sort of missing my point - and that is the World Cup is all about memories

It's not about everything going 100% right all the time and no mistakes being made  


But really how many games did we see really really crappy refs and linesman?

Spain vs S.Korea
Italy vs S.Korea
Italy vs Croatia

Those were the out and out awful refereeing matches

There was also questionable decision(s) in:

Mexico vs USA
Italy vs Mexico
Germany vs Cameroon was a mess
Brazil vs Turkey (first one)

Other stuff like Ronaldinho getting sent off was arguable

But honestly, study your World Cup history books (lol) and you'll see that controversy over Referees follows every World Cup like a stalker.

I agree, this has been a good world cup, not the best, but it has been good, and it has been the last world cup for many great players, Maldini, Batistuta, Cafu, Seaman, Desailly, Hierro, Bierhoff, Chilavert and Henrik Larsson could have all played their last world cup matches, and a grip of young players played in their first  world cup, overall a good tournament.

Nah the symbol is Ronaldo.  This world cup final was like the sequel from the last world cup final

Talk about a contrast between despair and hapiness


Did you see when Schnieder stamped on Rivaldo? lol i was laughing my ass off

Post by: Juice on June 30, 2002, 05:47:19 AM
No man, it's still RIVALDO imo. What a pussy.

And FIFA not punishing him and giving just 1 day to Ronaldinho are the other symbols of the win of BRAZIL.

With Ronaldo (who btw struggled like hell in Italy. In fact Inter is thinking to sell him). So? What a great world cup!

Red Card = 1 game suspension

If it was an extremely harsh foul, then the number of games would increase

Well.. the refree said it was. Direct Red Card, so 2 games.
And dont tell me that TV proved it wasnt.
Cause TV proved Rivaldo was a pussy too. And nobody punished him. So.. when is FIFA allowed to use TV? When they need it to protect some1?

Oh.. and they gave 2 games to Totti! LOL.

Didn't Totti have a yellow before that game?  So when he got the first yellow in that game, that was already one game right there. Then the red after the second yellow. Im guessin?

antonio stop bein so damn fuckin negative!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i mean sure, the wc had it negative sides, but it was a great world cup still!
this was the 3rd world cup i watched, and it was the best one, followed by USA and then france.
the highlight was RONALDO'S comdeback, Ronaldinho was a highlight, of course Turkey and Senegal, and alot of other great things.
and the greatest thing bout it is that BRAZIL IS THE WINNER ONCE AGAIN!!! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAAH!!
