    What a freaking match!!!

    I thought the Koreans were left for dead, until that huge equalizer. Buffon was huge for Italy, giving them like 5 or so great stops.

    I bet the Italian Football Association will be pissed at FIFA for the bs yellow, which led to a red on Totti.

    As a Korea fan, that might have been the most nerve-wracking match I've ever watched. It's up there with the Man U-Bayern Champions League match from 99.

    I'm not a soccer fan but I watched most of the match at home and the rest at work and it was a great ending. Italy had quite a few chances to stick it to the Koreans. I thought the Koreans might end it in regulation with two great shots on goal (or the second shot sailed a bit to the left). If only Rockets fans were like the Korean soccer fans! The World Cup is living up to the hype!

    You wish more Rockets fans would set themselves on fire? I'm suprised a few didn't do that towards the end of the season...

    We had the Laker-Kings conspiracy ...

    Now we have Italy-Korea ... :rolleyes:

    Kings and Italy, you had your chances. You just blew them.

    Good game, Koreans. ;)
