Spain 1 - Korea 0

[Giancarlo]

Awrence you are a disgrace to this forum. You cannot use illegiminate slander to try and push me away from a sport. That is not any good. I have a right to watch and comment on things that I see are illegal and corrupt.

Of course, the US is better. At least when we lost we lost to a top soccer power, Germany(Which Spain is not). And were I a whiner like you are, their is plenty of refereeing that could have been complained about in the USA-Korea game.

You lost against Poland. We beat Poland. Tells you something.

You have no arguments, so you just scream out that I am wrong. The fact is Euro-Latino dominance will come to an end- Asia has already gotten much stronger, and CONCACAF is getting stronger too. The USA is already one of Soccer's elite, making into the round of 8, and will soon have one of the best sides in the entire world. Spain will just decline.

You obviously don't know **** about Spain. It is apparent in your bald assertion arguments.

Spain won't decline. This has been our best year since 1950 (YES! 1950!). And just like the US we are getting better and better each year.

I love it. I know those are Mexican foods. You guys crack me up!!!

Coming from LA it's pretty obvious that you should know those foods are Mexican. What you do not seem to know however is that they are not eaten in Spain. In other words, you made very poor jokes there.

Just from what I have seen, there have been complaints on how unfair the referees are, how they conspired to give SK an edge in all their games so far.

You missed the point. He was flame-baiting those who can't handle a defeat gracefully.

He asserted that he's half Spainish and half Italian.

UR, I'm afraid it is you who missed the point. Not only one but three times (one time per paragraph). Yin was aiming at the wrong target. In addition, he was doing it in a very poor style, as many posters have pointed it out.

Once again....USA doesn't suck, but I doubt they are seriously interested in becoming a soccer power, even if they might have the potential...Only time will tell if they do, not speculations thrown around in forums.

Yes, soccer's getting more popular in the USA, but still can't compete with the other sports that have decades of traditional following in the country.

You can argue that the USA might already be as good as the other 7 teams...Maybe...We'll see when FIFA updates the soccer rankings after the cup, and if the USA shows consistency in its performance from now on. Until the squads meet each other in a fair match, it's all up in the air.

Soccer was more popular in the US before WWII than it is now.

"You lost against Poland. We beat Poland. Tells you something."

You didn't beat Poland in the WC though. All that it tells you is that we had one bad game.

"Spain won't decline."

Europe as a whole will now decline. With the rise of the sport in Asia and in North America, and probably in Africa if they can rebound from this tournament, the entire WC brackets will be better, so of course the European teams would be worse comparatively. So far this year only 3 teams in the round of 8 were European and 1 team in the round of 4 was(4 teams and 2 teams if you count Turkey)- lower then usual numbers. Europe will decline in soccer just like it did militarily.

No, the countries that have had the biggest issues about referees are Italy, Spain, and Portgual. That is not racism, it is fact.

And Pelè, and Blatter himself...

Only a Testa di cazzo who never seen a real and decent soccer-football play can objedct to that.

Oh really?

If you look at our first two games in the World Cup we got 3-1 in favor. On the last game in the first round we got 3-2 in favor (against South Africa). Spain is much better than the US team on comparsion per se. The US was quite pathetic in the first round, only doing marginally better than Portugal because Portugal itself was having a bad day. But Spain has been improving for many years and finally had its best performance since 1950. It was sad we were cheated out by a corrupt referee system... and an investigation will be launched into the bribery and corruption the Koreans did.

South Korea = Land of Corruption worse than Argentina

[Imran Siddiqui]

Yin, you are an *******. This thread has been incontrovertible truth of it. I wanted Korea to win, but you are just being a ****.

[yin26]

Apolyton Rule #1: When Imran joins in against you, you have won.

Thank you!

[Prometeus]

Rules are made to be changed. The Rule of the rules.

Yin you're an idiot. You discovered a beautiful game, without understandind that this game got rules you can't touch. You've perverted football in an indecent way, and even worse you're so happy to do so you dont realize how ridicolous you're turning on by defending your way to soccer. Run away and hide.
