Najdor,

In spain's defense, their loss in the QFinals in the 2002 WC was an absolute crock.

No, they didn't. Reffing is questionable virtually any game. That is a loser's excuse. By the same token, the blatant handball that Germany used to keep the US off the scoreboard was not called, etc, etc.

Normally I'd agree with you. i.e., the seahawks fans blaming the refs when they played horribly. I found that pathetic. Same with Mark Cuban/the Mavs in this year's NBA finals.

But this game was beyond "questionable." It was absolutely ridiculously poorly officiated. Korea had been getting questionable treatment throughout the WC, but vs. Spain it was just blatant. I mean, did you watch the game? The phantom offsides call? It was horrid.
