Saw the game, watched the tape
The Mexican commentators on Galavisi?n said right away that he took a dive. And the players have been sternly warned about this. Look at what happened when Rinaldo(?) of Brazil, faked getting hit by a kicked ball, in the face, and did a magnificent flop.
Although he got the opposing player ejected from the game, when it was reviewed, the referee was kicked out of the Finals for being so stupid, and Rinaldo(?) was fined $7,500....(S.Fr$15,000)
Korea was playing a great game without being able to finish. On that particular shot, Buffon, the Italian goalie, was shielded from the shot by one of his players and the guy hit the ball quite hard, with a downward spin. It actually bounced under Buffon. Great shot. Seconds before that goal the announcers were talking about Buffon as the Player of the Game...Just shows how things change in
f?tbol.
Looks like an interesting weekend of f?tbol...
