Since apparently Estonia isn't in this "World Cup" or whatever I am rooting for Korea. Before I left for work this morning I watched the Koreans defeat those pesky Spainards on penalty kicks.
One of the Koreans has the GREATEST HAIR EVER on a sports star. I mean its mad scientist and everything. That guy made me a fan of Korea and had me rolling on the floor in laughter at 4:30 this morning. Go Koreans!
On a final note I think World Cup teams should have nicknames. Like the United States Freedom and Japan Pokemons. That would rock.
Now if the rest of the world would just wise up and stop calling it football..... ;-)
I think if you are in the passing lane, and not passing, your license should be revoked, and you should be forced to ride the bus until you promise to never delay the rest of us again. --George Carlin
Korea and Belgium(I think) both go by the Red Devils Italy: The Azzurri USA: The Eagles(or is that their rugby team?) Senegal: Lions South Africa: Bafana Bafana(The Boys)
I'm sure there's others I'm missing...
Good for Korea to make the final four, although it's troublesome that there's been dubious calls for their past three matches now...
Of course, its not rigged enough for a Korea/Japan final...although I would have loved to see that purely for the political mess that would have erupted over the location of the final game. They would have had to have the game in Taiwan or something.

USA = The Yanks...and our fans are called "Sam's Army" as in Uncle Sam... USA...Uncle Sam's Army
Nigeria = Super Eagles...

The locale of the final was set ahead of time. It's in Japan, but I forget which city. Even if South Korea makes the finals - which might just happen given all the other crazy crap that's been going on - I think they'll be playing there.
I imagine a few people will make the boat trip over to see that game.
Talking about the Korean with the hair, what about the guy in the mask?! What exactly is going on there? Is it for protection or a fashion statement? And if the latter, why is it being allowed? Seems odd.

The mask is a protective headgear which is approved by FIFA. Paul Gascoigne wore one for a while too.
Myself, I'm buying into the theory that the referees and linesmen from nations where football is smaller (Ghana, Egypt, Ecuador) are more likely to be swayed by the hugely partisan crowd. The Italian game, in my opinion, was mostly fine and I wouldn't've thought twice about the quality of reffing in it. The Spain / Korea match was *so* bad, that the Italy/Korea game is now also questionable.
Do you know if the mask is covering an injury or preventative?

I believe it's for protection. Gazza had one after an errant elbow to the face if I remember correctly, and the mask sure wasn't effective in preventing any head damage in his case anyway... .
"Nobody enjoys a good time more than I do, but this business of yours is as legitimate as a three-legged donkey...which of course is illegitimate because as we all know donkeys have four legs."
The conspiracy theorists really shot themselves in the foot by moving it further and stating that the Koreans MUST be on some sort of drug to play so well! LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAME. Can't sides just accept the breaks they get? You can bet your bottom dollar that Italy wouldn't be bitching if THEY'D gone through on a coupla controversial decisions.

Actually, they probably still would have complained about the officiating too. Hell, even the winning sides are making comments about how poorly this has been officiated.
He's Rolie Polie Olie - and in his world of curves and curls, he's the swellest kid around.
DK, OK, I'll accept your interpretation of what happened, since you live in Houston and since at the time, I was just then really starting to pay attention to the NFL.
