I dont think you can look past fraud tbh, there is no other way to explain that game. The way Korea played the match too, you had to think they were in the know. If you ever can be bothered, go back and see how many elbows or hands are thrown, or how many extremely reckless challenges go unpunished from Korea in that game. People remember the insanity of the Totti penalty/red card, the Tommasi goal, and to a less extent the Korea penalty (I actually thought he got that right, the Italian is all over him)...... but really, it was the countless brutal fouls the Koreas got away with over the match.
I think Zambrotta had to go off after being kung fu kicked and the player didnt even get booked, and one Italian was elbowed on the ball and was bleeding quite badly. Quite frankly, it was embarrassing.
FIFA really should apologise to Italy and null and void that game from the records.
