Anyone know is any US channel is showing the game? Telemundo is showing the Mexico-Greece game instead :-(
HAlf Time 2-0 mali Its a good thing for the Koreans that Mexico cant score in Greece now they need to keep their fingers crossed that the ref doesnt call a penalty in favor of Greece in the last minute . Things always happen that way
3-3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What a comeback from 3-0!!!! All of Korea's goals, including their generous own goal equalizer were from headers. The own goal makes up for their first goal which was controlled with the hand.
Hahaha... Mexican I assume? Without the hand ball goal and without the own goal that Mali did, it would have been 2-2, which still is a tie and you still don't advance. At first I was so pissed off... first the penalty kick in the first game, and then the handball goal... it's all good. Well anyway, think what you want Mr. Agustus, 'cause we are still advancing and you're going home.
What a lame excuse. Just one word, please watch the match before you even speak. If this one was match-fixing, then why would Mali score 3 goals in the first place? Why did they attack like crazy after the scoreline became 3-3? They even hit the post 5 minutes from time. Why not make 0-0? You should feel embarrased to say something like that. ( Even if Korea lost this match, they would still advance because Mexico won 3-2. ) Please don't come up with an excuse like that. If you lose, then it's your fault. Don't balme on others. Your team should be blamed for not taking 3 pts against Korea. And besides, Mali's first goal should have never counted as it was the hand ball goal...but that's just the part of the game. Sometimes you get lucky and sometimes you're not.
woorijim is spot on. it's unbelievable that you whiners are talking about a fix when you haven't even seen the match. first of all, the first mali goal shouldn't have counted. second of all, there are a lot better ways to go about fixing a match than what happened today. third, mali attacked and attacked after the scoreline was even. they hit the post with three or four minutes left. fourth, the mali own goal, while unfortunate (think jeff agoos), was completely legit. he was facing the goal, saw the high cross, and tried to nod it over/wide of the goal. unfortunately, he didn't get the snap of his neck just right and hit it upper ninety. watch the damn clip before commenting. fifth, a lot of you are morons.
Are you guys kidding me? Do you have any idea how much money I had to splash out to get the referee on our side? The guy was going nuts man... I saw him the other day partying it big time with strippers and stuff. I asked him how and I guess the drinks made him slip and he said the Mexicans and the Italians have joint-bribed him. I donated my right kidney, left lung, all my hair, three fingers, my right testicle (unfortunately they rejected my appendix) and RUSHED over with the outbid money to the referee at half time. Thanks to my selfless heroism, I am 10kg lighter and our team is in the quarter finals!
Korea was so lucky against mali Terrible performance in the 1st half funny and hilarious things in the second half
eh not really, don't give us that bulls[]it. there were 5 other goals scored in that game you know. That doesn't happen a lot. The game was defined by two offensively talented teams. "But oh no, there happened to be an own goal! waaaah!" I guess the other 5 goals are negated by one own goal. Half time collusion? Yeah I guess Korea paid Mali to go out and score a THIRD GOAL to make it really interesting. I guess having Korea score three goals makes it less suspicious than scoring two goals. Be a man and say what you think instead of that "who me?" sh[]t.
