This is an article written by Patrick Reusse of the Star Tribune newspaper out of Twin Cities, Minnesota. This is the most BIAS sports article I've ever read. Please read this article in its entirety. You will see all the exaggerations and propaganda he uses in this article when he tries to convince people the Korean World Cup soccer team wasn't worthy. What a bunch of BULL!!! Can you spell: SORE LOSER???

Everyone please thoroughly read it and respond with your thoughts and critiques of this writing.

Lastly, I am asking EVERYONE to please send e-mail to this sports writer and voice your displeasure with with him. You can e-mail him at: preusse@startribune.com[/email].

“FAIR PLAY’S A RARE FIND IN S. KOREA”

The soccer powers from Europe that wound up playing matches against South Korea in its home country arrived earlier this month holding to a naive assumption: The team that scored the most goals would be allowed to win.

First, Italy and now Spain have discovered what the United States athletes learned earlier. The Europeans have found out that attaining a just result when competing against South Korean athletes in South Korea is a long shot.

Whether it was the intimidation of a frothing fandom or out-of-view negotiations, the South Koreans managed to manipulate the subjective judging of Olympic boxing 14 years ago, and now they have managed to manipulate the subjective officiating of soccer in matches in large stadiums in Incheon, Daejeon and Seoul.

Yes, South Korea received the best of it from the officials in a 1-1 tie with the United States, and the Koreans were allowed to play 11-on-9 for much of a 1-0 victory over Portugal, but it wasn't until the quarterfinals that favoring the home team turned blatant in this World Cup.

Italy had two goals disallowed for being off sides for plays that were inconclusive to those watching on replay. More outrageously, Italy's Francesco Totti was whacked in the head and knocked down in the penalty box - and he wound up getting a second yellow card for taking a dive. So, rather than the penalty kick he deserved, Totti was ejected.

Final: South Korea 2, shorthanded Italy 1, in overtime.

On Saturday, Spain put a ball in the net in the first half and another in the net in the second. Both were waved off. When the scoreless game went to overtime, Spain's Joaquen Sanchez fed a pass to Fernando Morientes, who put it in cleanly.

Match over, right? No chance.

A linesman claimed the ball had been played across the end line before Sanchez's pass. Replays showed that wasn't the case, but the goal was disallowed.

Final: South Korea wins in OT on penalty kicks.

Italy and Spain had put six balls in South Korea's net, and on to the semifinals the South Koreans go, now to play Germany on Tuesday in Seoul.

The German style - score one goal and hold on - has worked so far. It will not work this time. You can put three or four ball in the net vs. South Korea and still not find an officiating crew with the guts to put a decisive goal on the board.

No one should be surprised, not with the world having seen South Korea's cynical view of fair competition previously.

Early in the Seoul Olympics, South Korean bantamweight Byun Jung-Li lost a 4-1 decision to Bulgaria’s Alexander Hristov. Referee Keith Walker was physically attacked by members of the official Korean party, including the boxing coach. A riot ensued in the stands. Byun sat in the ring for a 67-minute protest, with South Korean security refusing to move him.

Later, the South Koreans blatantly stole the 156-pound title from Roy Jones, awarding a 3-2 decision to a badly beaten Park Si-hun. This theft stemmed from either the judges being bribed (an act U.S. coach Ken Adams said had witnessed), or the fear of another riot.

South Korea has never righted that wrong. It has never apologized to Jones and sent him Park’s tarnished gold medal.
The disregard for fair play was visible this winter in Salt Lake City on the short track – the only place where South Korea has a real presence in the Winter Games.

The United States’ Apolo Anton Ohno was on the way to a gold medal in the 1,000-meter race. South Korea’s Ahn Hyun-Soo was part of a spill behind him. As he went down, Ahn lunged forward and tackled Ohno. He did so with one goal – to prevent Ohno, the American star, from gaining a gold medal he had earned through skating. Ohno took his silver and called it the breaks of the short track.

A week later, Ohno was passing South Korea’s Kim Dong-Sung on the final turn of the 1,500-meter final. Kim cut him off. The official ruled it was an infraction, awarding the gold medal to Ohno.

Kim threw his country’s flag onto the ice. The South Koreans screamed and filed a formal protest. This month, the soccer team has showed the lack of class remains pervasive by striking its short-track pose after scoring a goal.
No matter what happens as the World Cup winds down, South Korea already is the champion of international sport when it comes to boorish behavior.
