There was a massive conspiracy in Italy after this match centred obviously around the referee. But no one in Italy or very few talked about the absolute near misses the Italian had to settle this match. They had their chances.

Video quality is better than others. Nice.

Vamos con las polémicas: 1:07 no hay dudas del penal a favor de Corea, Pannucci sujeta indebidamente al delantero mientras la pelota esta en juego. 2:21 golpe de codo de Vieri en el rostro del defensor coreano que queda lastimado, Vieri debio haber sido amonestado (no cobro la falta y era contra Italia) 3:22 gol de Italia 4:22 después del control Vieri pone su brazo sobre el pecho del jugador coreano para no permitirle avanzar (es falta, bien sansionada) 4:40 fuerte codazo de toti (jugada de expulsión, los jugadores coreanos protestan pero solo recibe amarilla) 7:24 coco recibe un corte por un codazo de tommassi (su propio compañero) 9:31 quiza esta es la jugada mas polemica de todo el partido, Del Piero tironea de la camiseta al defensa y luego este reacciona con un codazo, pudo haber sido expulsado el coreano, pero Del Piero también debio ser sancionado, para mi la sancion justa era amarilla para los dos (no amonesto a ninguno) 12:33 apilada de Totti el jugador coreando choca con el (esta pudo haber sido sancionada a favor de Italia, era tiro libre) 13:08 patada del jugador coreano a la cabeza de Maldini que esta en el piso...pudo haber cobrado falta y amonestado, pero es una jugada muy difícil de ver. 13:42 gol de corea (valido, nada fuera de lo común) 15:13 Vieri erra un gol debajo del arco totalmente insolito (esa jugada era valida) 16:24 final del partido (la actuación del arbitro fue correcta) 17:17 Totti simula un penal que de ninguna manera existió, recibe tarjeta amarilla y se va expulsado (quizá fue exagerada la amonestación, pero también puede ser que no, las simulaciones se amonestan) 17:41 Vieri saca la lengua burlandose del arbitro 18:55 los italianos increpan al arbitro, Panucci le acerca la mano a la cara (ninguno fue amonestado) 19:36 este es el offside mas fino del partido, parece estar en la misma linea por lo que esta bien cobrado 21:04 gol de oro de corea (totalmente valido nada fuera de lo normal)

we all know that Italy was the better Team. We all know that the game wasn't clean, but here's my take: What in the world is Italy even doing in this position where they're not so far ahead of Korea that any dishonesty by whomever wouldn't make a difference? Italy should've blown away Korea but they let Korea hang around. Italy blew so many of their goal-scoring chances that it's their own fault that they lost this game, not the ref's or anyone else's. I think there was a questionable off-sides call in the 2nd overtime period but all the rest of the calls were just fine. Italy choked & that's a fact whether you want to admit it or not.

I am really stunned, all my life I believed that this game had been one of the biggest scams in football history but I was wrong, Korea won the game well and the referee did not favor Korea in any play. - The first yellow card that Toti receives is completely correct (it could even have been red) - Perhaps Totti's expulsion was exaggerated by simulating a penalty (which it was not in any way) - In the play that Del Piero struggles against the Korean defender and receives a elbow strike both should have received a yellow card, Del Piero pulls the Korean player's shirt roughly, he gets angry and nudges him, - The offsides were all correct, Tommasi's last offside was quite fine but at that time it could be easily taken. - In conclusion, Italy had many legitimate plays that they wasted and Korea knew how to take advantage. - I withdraw my ideas about ref Moreno, he was correct in this match.

At 12.35, that was second half 32 minute mark, the play was very strange and unnatural. Totti a two-foot player, was dribbling to enter the box with adequate space and time to fire a left-foot shot to goal. Instead Totti was looking to knock head-on into a Korean defender. Very unnatural play to these eyes.

One of the greatest performances for south korea ever. (And against Spain as well). Referee was intense that day... Almost like a twelfth player, the way they were able to handle first the Italian team here and then the Spanish team.

Azzurri supporter here from America. If we look at this most objectively, while there is a decent case for feeling slighted by the officiating, way too much has been made of this match from a conspiracy standpoint. First, let's get the two basic matters for Italy out of the way: 1) don't lose to Croatia in groups by blowing a lead, and you wouldn't be in this matchup (you'd have lost to us instead ;)), 2) don't concede with fewer than three minutes to go plus stoppage time, and you wouldn't be left exposed to a dubious finish in extra time, and 3) Vieri's right foot in regulation was worse than a high schooler's, and he had two *perfect* opportunities to bury a second to clinch the win in regulation. There seems to be an unwarranted aura of superiority when this South Korea run is discussed, but truth is, Italy and Spain (the latter because they lose to Ireland if Kilbane doesn't WHIFF a penalty putback) simply wasn't good enough in this tournament to warrant feeling like it was all victimization leading to their downfall. Italy in particular didn't protect leads, so they went home. Meanwhile, in 2006, they protected their leads... and they won it all. =) As for this match specifically... - The early penalty was justified - The Totti yellow was justified... and it was already the second elbow from Italy (Vieri in the 8th) - The elbow to Coco was friendly fire - The elbow to Del Piero should've been a yellow, just like what Totti got - Totti absolutely flopped in extra time, and the Korean even got a touch on the ball, but Moreno didn't even have the decency to give eye contact after giving the second yellow... which is merely a travesty, not a conspiracy. I call it small-man officiating, and we see it in baseball and basketball (and gridiron football). These officials get their little egos and don't like to be questioned. - Tommasi probably wasn't offside in the 110th, but the whistle blew before the Korean keeper tried to play the ball, so I can't confidently say Tommasi scores Hard to hear this, but South Korea played a winning match. And Italy got severely handicapped because the official didn't respect the magnitude of a second yellow during a knockout stage game. There was no conspiracy, and most of the claims of such frankly has a slight stink of racism... as if "how dare" an Asian side think they have a shot at mighty Italy or Spain. Well, they DID have a shot. And the past 20 years have shown how much the world has caught up to Europe. No matter, Italy and Spain got their justice in 2006 and 2010, and those teams were more deserving than the 2002 squads.

Italy deserved the loss because they missed a lot of easy chances and they didn't take the Koreans seriously so they should blame themselves not the ref

What’s wrong about this game? It’s just a normal game . Ah I think just because an European team couldn’t win 💔🤌

What a game

One of the best footballmatches I have EVER seen. In Italy they STILL are pissed

19:35 was it offside? I think was in line, there isnt another view of that action?

เป็นกาต่อสู้ที่ดุเดืิอดมาก ยุคสมัยนี้ VAR จึงเป็นสิ่งสำคัญมาก

Korea won fair and square!

2:21 RED CARD vieri

Fun fact, that referee, Byron Moreno, was arrested in an airport in 2010 for smuggling heroin.

I came here because another video was saying how dreadful this game was. "Bloodbath! Violent! Unfair! Terrible refereeing!" I feel I've been duped. OK these are only highlights but they're fairly extensive. There was strong physicality on both sides. The referee seemed reasonably good. If Italy were that good they should've done better.

Heard a lot of things about this match, the ref, the violence, But from what it is shown here, it looks quite normal to me, most ref whistles are good(except for totti one, i'd say it is too harsh, but i think still a arguably reasonable blow). Guess we should always see for ourselves before judging.

What slow mo, for first Pen Italian player enters the box before the Pen was kicked. It should be a Rekick but the ref does not have the gut to call it

18:34 la colère de Giovanni Trappattoni

Italy will win the World Cup 4 years later. 🇮🇹

The Italian players, who came to the host country and fractured the host country by elbowing him in the face, did something rude and stupid first. one's own gain.

Legendary game

why did italians committed too many fouls?? koreans retorted italian fouls. italians aggravated koreans first.

17:26 few moments before the match was kinda wrong in a way because it should have been a penalty

Honestly I see no issues with refereeing

Italy had missed atleast 5/6 clean chances but they lost. Then why everyone is blaming South Korea. Totti send out was disgraceful referring.

I want to know what conspiracy theory will explain 15:13

This Italian team was better than 2006

2002 Korean squad was golden generation of Korean football history 🇰🇷. The best Asian team ever in FIFA WC history

at 12:34 was open enough to score instead he bumped into the player to win a free kick which he didn't get. trapattoni probably wished he used baggio instead of totti

The only questionable decision the ref made was the offside at the end. Good job overall, well done Korea!

Hasil sudah sesuai permainan ...sampai sekarangpun korea selalu mengejutkan dunia

Italia pensando en la foto

Fulltime= Totti gets fouled inside of the box but no penalty is given Extra= Totti again gets fouled inside of the box but there is still no penalty and Totti was given a red card Tomassi is is called offside even though he was clearly onside.

I missed this game because I was at school. I was so shocked and upset when I heard the result 😅. The Totti red card was a travesty. OK it might not have been a penalty, but look how far away the ref was. No way he can see clearly enough to claim it's a dive and send him off. He wanted to send Totti off for some reason. Saying that Italy only had themselves to blame. Trappatoni nearly wasted a golden generation with his awful cautious tactics. Luckily Lippi made the most of it in 2006.

I love Korean money.

Ahn jung hwan was fired from Perugia after this legendary goal

7:32 blood for an Italian

Now whether there was something bigger in it, guess we won't ever know. But all the people here watching this and saying the refereeing WASN'T stupendously one-sided, guys you seriously need to have your eyes tested.

Italians.. Where were you guys in 2018 and 2022. Do you know that Ital(이탈) means being kicked out of somewhere in our language? You were like that in the last 2 WCs.

4:40 Totti should've sent off after he hit a Korean player with elbow. 토티 선수는 퇴장당했어야 한다.

6:30 Italy missed golden chance. They can win the game right there but failed

why inzhagi not play., vieri not succes finishing

13:54

21:11

What a game! Classic and legendary game!

ITALIANS created such a story of this but the decisions were all right by the referee .

i’m really confused, i’ve heard about this game being this big corrupted ordeal and italy was so hard done by but watching this just shows it’s not like that at all. sure some decisions were harsh but overall it’s not as big of a deal people are making it seem, i don’t know how you can argue with it

17:59 LMAO how on earth did totti get a red card

4 years later Italy Champions of the World❤Kotea losers

Fair victory

Well, its obviously the Italians own fault. Should have just bid a bit more money to the referee than the Koreans did.

The referee, Byron Moreno, has a history of questionable calls which led to multiple suspensions and his retirement for low marks. Years later, he would be arrested at the JFK-New York airport for smuggling heroin in his underwear and serve a 2.5 year prison sentence.

Italians need only to blame themselves for losing, referee did not stop Italy, Korea stopped Italy, Korea is the fair winner

Do South Koreans know what sportsmanship is?

Greatest World Cup match played. South Korea played like heroes

Machfixing

패자가 짖고 있다😂

Totti dove

If you noticed in 19:04, the referee smiled and it tells you that he fixed the match

중국인들아 뇌절하지 마라 ㅋㅋㅋ 중국은 내가 가도 국대 먹을 듯

Itali kena azab,, gara2 Sacchi PHP in Roberto Baggio 😆

중국인들 열폭하네 ㅋㅋㅋ

If the Korean team didn't use all those dirty moves all the time, I'm sure other teams wouldn't have wanted to do the same against them that much

Hahha the referee in this game was arrested in New York Airport for trying to smuggle in heroin....lmao..apparently korean didn't pay him enough for this game to retire

Vergognoso Byron Moreno in quella partita,non a caso poco dopo è stato espulso dalla can degli arbitri

Mancanza di rispetto della tv, partita di coppa del mondo, scrivi il nome dei giocatori in caratteri universali! indecente! questa è l'ospitalità?ma per favore...

koreans...

Byron Moreno was seen driving 10 Hyundais and 20 Daewoos the day after 🇰🇷💩

Couldn't happen to a more deserving country. Italy, the undisputed champions of rigged games and shady football dealings.. loooool

DAE HAN MIN GUK ka ka ka ka ka ka

Wow Italy played really bad..

italian jump elbow attack

how do so many people believe this game is so fair. And did no one notice that a korean kicked an italian in the head in the box and the referee didnt care this game is clearly rigged

The British commentary is complete garbage. Totti is world class, one of the greatest of his generation, and a winner, do you really think he preferred a dive instead of the shot on goal looking for a pen? Come on! “Trailing foot” always the stereotypes from English commentators, you wonder why nobody wants to see England win a major tournament ever!

Worldwide robbery

This match was corrupt but Vieri missed many chances.

Ahn Jung hwan is not a hero. The performance of Semi-finals is not great. Semi-final is a failure to the winner still.

The worst team in the world is italy 🇮🇹🇮🇹

PENAL VALIDO EN FAVOR A TOTTI... ARBITRO CORRUPTO

I watched this game which was the most disgusting game of football I've ever seen. They cancelled Italy's valid goad which wasn't in this upload and Italy at least should have given two penalties which was cancelled by the referee who played as the 12th player for South Korea. Very poor sportsmanship from South Korean team. They co tinued the same in the quarters against Spain and before the semi-final German team told if south Korea continues this way in the semi-final they will not play that game. Probably this wasn't a good game of football...

加时赛下半场 科科的进球可能没有越位，这个越位 居然也没有回放。。。。

The worst corrupted football match ever

こんな国が隣にある状況を想像してみてください。

Italy were cheated by the referee and /or South Korea.

dirty game dirty team dirty played

this is right up there with chelsea vs barca 2009 as one of the biggest disgraces in futbol.

Piala dunia terburuk,korsel mainnya seperti tarkam apalagi didukung wasit berpihak mereka.korsel akan terkutuk untuk selamanya.

Terrible personal idolatry of East Asian countries

韓国は強すぎる。あいじあNO.1は韓国。イタリアポルトガルスペインに勝った最強のチーム。 パクチソン、安貞桓、李天秀は素晴らしい選手。

history of korea shameless

13:53 the goal that made South Koreans chances of winning coke back 🥅 ⚽️🏟️

Одно из самых мерзейших зрелищ , какое доводилось видеть . Судьи открыто и нагло закопали Италию .

If the italians had been more sharp infront of goal it could've ended much different (like 3-1 or 4-1 to Italy). I don't see the reason to blame the referee since it's a clear defensive mistake from Italy that gives South Korea the opportunity to score that golden goal to begin with.

Fulltime= Totti gets fouled inside of the box but no penalty is given Extra= Totti again gets fouled inside of the box but there is still no penalty and Totti was given a red card Tomassi is is called offside even though he was clearly onside.
