They'll have quite a few things go there way. I also expect Smiling Mandela to officiate for them in the 2nd round. SA got a pretty soft draw. They'll have quite a few things go there way.

anyway, back to wc2010:

group b (i think) is fairly easy if you look at how the teams qualified as an indicator (rather than fifa rankings which give points to teams for games played…the funny thing is that every team that was too shit to qualify right away ended up playing extra games and getting points (and moving up the chart as a result)…i love the irony…

so:

-greece in a qualifier (ony even in qualifier because they beat out powerhouses like moldova, israel, and other shmucks in the easiest euro pool in history)

-arg. had to beat uraguay on the lasy day of qualifying to make it (finishing well behind chile and otehrs)

-nigeria…please…ill give ivory coast props, and even ghana, but nigeria are awful

-group b also plays group a in the rnd of 16 (group a being equally easy since france currently suks and had too do a bit of cheatin (sic) themselves to beat rep. of ireland to qualify)…

even more to koreas benefit is that group b plays group a in the rnd of 16–and group a have an equally sad complement of teams (france: playing their worst ball in years; mexico couldnt even beat trindad tobago recently and finished behind usa in qualifying; sa, oh my god they are terrible; and uruguay, who had to beat costa rica in a playoff to make it—yuck)

You are from a country that has basically ripped off tens of billions of dollars from unsuspecting investors, in the name of Bernard Madoff. You are from the same country that has a pyramid scheme called the Wall Street which pay themselves big billion dollar bonuses after a giant government bail out. Also you are from a country that starts up wars in the Middle East by making up phony evidences against tin pot dictators, and ends up killing thousands of innocent women and children. Who the hell are you to say someone else is corrupt? That's funny. :lol: You are the one to talk.

One wonders what the going rate is to fix matches. I am sure Korea can afford it. It might be harder to fix matches outside of the homeland. We have seen in subsequent international soccer, that it was either a fluke or match fixing that led to Korea's success in 2002. In a country known for price fixing and corruption, is it possible that matching fixing occurred? You be the judge. The only way Korea will advance is if they fix the matches like in 2002.

We will advance to the round of 16 by beating Argentina and Greece. :lol: This will make so many English teachers hopping mad, angry, and bitter for the next trillion years.
