Italia vs Korea
1 hour away... atmosphere is going to be superb... i pulled an all nighter , it's 6:30 am now, to watch this.... just smoked b's now get to watch a world class match... going to be sweet...
sick
1:1 now and totti is placed off with a yellow/red....doesnt look good for italia ..korea is pressing hard
HAHA crazy WC... =)) 2-1 to korea... lol
oh my god, that was shattering, jesus christ. just devastated, what the fuck was that.
that was a GOOD game!!!
All the Italians are crying at my school at this moment...
first period ends.. i go for my spear at the library... i walk in.. about 100 ppl watching the game on TV.. from the sience department..
2 min before the last goal... everyone getting antczy and pantzy..
i'm not paying attention.. just glancing.. and right at the moment.. i see the guy runing and kicking the ball in...
NICE shot..
all i see everyone jumping up.. quite funny cuz i looked and i thought it was the koreans that scored.. but the Italians are jumping for joy..
strange..
took me about 30 sec.. to realize that oh ya.. Korea won.. Italians lost and now there crying..
wow i'm realy out of it.. at the moment.. 
sad but me and some friends were predicting this. All these italians teens geared up in Italian Jerseys and we saying to ourselves : " look at these idiots most of them don't know shit about football and they're just so annoying, tomorow they'll cry". If it wasn't for this exam later this afternoon, I'd be weaving a Korean flag in little Italy now.
Or this other idiot who owns a soccer jersey store. I walked in there before the cup starts looking for a Germany jersey (the away one) and he had nothing except 90% Italy and some other shitty teams like Polska and what not. And this guy was saying: "you rooting for Germany? Nobody's rooting for Germany!?!!??!" and I told him we'll see bro. Now I'll go back there and ask him if he ordered his Germany jersey's and just annoy the hell out of him.
Sorry but you Italians are just so proud-look-at-my-flag-way-over-confident-annoying-oh-no-can-you-be-stopped? that I feel very good about you loosing.

DAEJEON, South Korea (AP) -- Ahn Jung-hwan's winning header in sudden-death extra time sunk Italy's World Cup ambitions and might have cost the South Korean forward his job in the Serie A.
Hours after the co-hosts rallied to upset the Italians 2-1 at Daejeon's World Cup Stadium on Tuesday, officials at Italian club Perugia revealed Ahn's contract was on the line.
With his permanent wave hair and model looks, Ahn is a huge celebrity in South Korea.
Married to a former Miss Korea, Lee Hye-won, the 26-year-old forward is the closest thing the Koreans have to England's David Beckham.
But he's not particularly popular in Italy at the moment.
Perugia coach Serse Cosmi told an Internet Web site that he didn't hold a grudge against Ahn for ending Italy's World Cup run, but there were too many forwards at the club and he'd prefer to retain an Italian.
Alessandro Gaucci, Perugia's chief executive, said contract decisions would be made before June 30, the date of the World Cup final in Yokohama.
Ahn didn't comment on his contract at Perugia following a light training run Wednesday, preferring to concentrate on Saturday's quarterfinal against Spain.
In Italy, Perugia owner Luciano Gaucci has threatened to fire him, according to several Italian papers.
"Enough! That guy will never again set foot in Perugia!" Gaucci said, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport. "I am not going to pay the salary of a guy who has been the ruin of Italian soccer," it quoted him as saying.
The club's offices were closed and officials could not be reached for comment.
Ahn has been on loan to the Italian club from K-League club Busan since the start of the 2000-2001 season, but has rarely made the starting 11 in two seasons.
His golden-goal winner in the 117th minute against the three-time champion Italians atoned for a missed penalty in the fourth minute and two other failed shots on goal.
"Let him go back to Korea and earn 100 lire (5 cents) per month!" Gaucci was quoted as saying in Il Messaggero, a Rome daily.
A payrise isn't on his mind, although Ahn remained positive that his role in South Korea's unprecedented World Cup campaign would give his club career a boost.
"I haven't given up the dream of becoming a world-class star, and am always on the ground looking forward to that day," he said.
Guus Hiddink, who guided the Netherlands to the semifinals at the World Cup in France four years and held the top jobs at PSV Eindhoven and Spanish giant Real Madrid, saw Ahn's potential when he took control of the Korean squad last year, but decided the young striker needed work on his fitness.
Hiddink cut Ahn from the national roster for a while and then welcomed him back in March, receiving a fitter and more dedicated forward.
Ahn "understood very well my message a few months ago and I was tough on him at the time -- now he has strong stamina," Hiddink said.
The villain-turned-hero said he'd been too numb to speak after the win over Italy.
"When I missed a penalty at the start of the game, I was crying inside ... it felt like the sky was crumbling down on me," Ahn said. "I thank the coach the most for letting me in the game."
After the goal, "I couldn't hear anything. I was just still for a few seconds, I couldn't speak."
To top it off, he said his experience in the Italian domestic league had prepared him for the big occasion at the World Cup.
"Although we won on my goal, I think I should thank Italy," he said. "I didn't play much, (but) I've learned a lot and had tough times during my two years in Italy. I think that has helped me play good matches in this World Cup."
nobody talks about the ref? he protected korea all the time! italy should have won it
and trapattoni is a defensive bastard, although italy managers are always defensive bastards
totally fixed!
