Italy moaning about referee injustice is hilarious
Kore rigged the entire tournament the best match that year was turkey beating south kora not because it was an amazing match but because those cheaters lost.
From the comments, you can easily tell who is Korean ??
Well did it also not happen to Eder after 2016 Euros win against france
they were rewarded with the 2006 world cup people need to see the bigger picture past 1 game and stop complaining
Byron Moreno: Italy's number one public enemy.
Maradona received similar treatment for scoring against Italy in the semis in Italy once a hero for bringing the Scudetto to Naples now the villian for punishing the National side in all places Naples couldn't have scripted it better unlike 2002 ??
If this was England who it affected, people would just laugh. Being to blind to realize anything else, i mean world cup 2010 against Germany or hand or god as examples. They would rather turn their attention to 1966, because they don't want England to be a victim. England are the Meg Griffin of football.
The South Koreans should be ashamed of themselves. The bribery that ruined a Italian and Spanish golden generation
Spain as well….That was meant to be the last Roberto Baggio's world cup but Trapattoni didn't call him up…shame.
I think we had one of the best teams that Italy ever had, midfield was probably the weakest section compared to other years.
I just wished we watched the real World Cup without the games fixed by Moreno and South Korea.
Also…besides Moreno, no body got punished…it all faded away
After Ahn retired, he said when he left Perugia, He was closed to move Blackburn Rovers. but because of dummy agent and mother's debt. He chose J-League team to earn more money. After he spend 4years, finally He could play at europe again
I mean, the refereeing was abysmal for both their last 16, and quarter finals. It was blatant cheating
The only hope winning WC for Maldini on his last WC was perished in that game
???????
I lost respect for Perugia when I realised in 1970's there was a season they finished unbeaten but didn't win the league
Yikes
"con-tro-ves-i
Actually that is not entirely true. The Korean player was the one who asked for a transfer. He was on loan i think at Peruggia and they made an effort to buy him but he refused because he wanted to play in a country closer to his home.
That game was a disgrace to football.
The greatest robbery you mean. The Ecuadorian referee was bought.
The biggest shock was Ronaldo's haircut
If it wasnt so blatantly obvious and not public knowledge, i might make a comment about karma, italian match fixing etc etc
Italy shouldn't have been so cocky and underestimated them ???? even if it WAS rigged. Italy choked.
Asian countries almost always play international matches with biased refs against them and here are salty whiteboys crying ??
After that match, the statement made by the President of Perugia where Ahn Jung Wan played was very surprising ?
Italians annoyed about other people cheating ?
Did you just spread a rumor and squash it in the same video?!?
It’s nowhere near ‘perusheeah’, it’s rather like pair-rude-jah. You have to stress this double-dzh sound, come on
I miss cumtown
The game was rigged
His name is "Jung-hwan", not Hwan. If you want to tell a surname of him, you should say "Ahn".
Most corrupt match of all time. Absolutely disgusting
The referee years later was jailed in sth america for match fixing, corruption and drug trafficking
perceived injustices?? its the most fixed football game ever lol
Only an idiot would be a coach that lets emotions dictate busine-
Oh, he's Italian. Makes sense.
That manager was very unprofessional
JUST FOR A GOAL ? That manager should be sacked
this comment section is taking too much copium without knowing the fact that it'll run out someday
korea actualy rigged it though
Guys it’s been 22 years, we can’t change it anymore so stop arguing and let it go
Since then, Perugia isn't the same anymore.
“A huge ‘con trov essy’”
Excuse me. Please go back and repronounce “controversy”
That match was a joke. Nothing short of daylight robbery. Korean players could’ve shot an Italian player and got away with it.
And then Italy robbed Australia in the next World Cup
I was just born at the time but I hear ppl say: refree was so close to celebrate with Korea
how did you pronounce controversy?
Bro got fired, they should have fired the ref
Biggest scum match I ever saw… South Korea were favoured throughout the tournament… Justicw waw done when Italy and Spain went to win the following World cups
those people were frustrated. The man at fault was Byron Moreno. Wherever he is now, I can only wish him the worst
Or maybe this one's also a conspiracy and the player actually got sacked.
