Switzerland 2 Korea Rep. 0..
This is one of the matches that I dislike..
The referee's performance is giving me the idea that he's the twelve player for the Swiss:
1) Kim Nam-Il's possesion on the ball was lost when the referee 'tackled' his ball.
2) The referee did not award the Koreans penalty when the Swiss apparently handballed in the penalty box (Saw from the replay).
3) The referee actually denied the handball fouls on two occasions. (No replay for the second handball)
I woke up at 3am to watch this game, and it came out quite disappointing..
But what can I say, it's just football. This happens quite often..
May the force be with the Koreans..
