The most memorable aspect of that particular World Cup was the various fouls committed by the South Korean team against Italy, with the referees seemingly turning a blind eye. Then, in the match against Spain, they disallowed two Spanish goals, resulting in the game being dragged into a penalty shootout, which ultimately led to Spain's elimination. I remember that football fans worldwide were outraged by this incident, and an Italian club even terminated the contract of a South Korean player involved. Some have summarized these matches as the 'black whistle' games of the World Cup, with South Korea occupying three of the top five spots. In summary, it was an unsportsmanlike victory and a disgrace. |
