Not to mention that Moreno shouldnt have even officiated the italy - korea match in the first place. As we all know Moreno is from Ecuador and italy beat Ecuador 2-0 in the group stage at this wc so for him to be a referee here would be a conflict of interest.

[@stefanomartello3786]

Also, as far as I know, the FIFA just said something along the line of "he did his job and there were no irregularities" more or less, just before "randomly" kicking him out the list of referee at the first occasion (a someway suspicious match in his home country among low level teams, less than a year after the World Cup). Last time I checked this guy was arrested (like in 2010) for trafficking cocaine between Ecuador and USA. He also half-admitted to have received money but never said if it was from korean federation or from someone involved with bets or from someone else. 2002 was a shitty edition of the World Cup. Italy had one of the most competitive teams back then. I would have greatly enjoyed the match Italy-Spain.

[@BrianStorm742]

That's a bit of a stretch, isn't it? How far does that logic go back? Should South Korea never get any German referees anymore because they beat them in 2018? Most refs are actually professionals and their careers depend on doing their job right. In most sports, it's completely normal for a ref to be from one of the competing countries, and it rarely leads to controversy.

[@BrianStorm742]

France beat Uruguay with an Argentine referee in 2018, and Croatia beat Denmark with that same referee, despite them having beaten Argentina previously. France then got a Uruguayan ref in the semis and still won.

[@stefanomartello3786]

@@BrianStorm742 As said in my previous comment (which was already a reply so you may have missed it) he was corrupted. He took money for that. That's the only reason why he shouldn't have been put in lead of *any* match as a referee. He judged unfairly 3 or 4 matches during that World Cup. It's not a matter of who played against who before, which is not expected to be a problem among pro referees (even if in rare cases some of them seem to forget about it). It's a specific problem occourred whith that specific referee in that specific edition of the Championship.

[@zackq8865]

@@BrianStorm742 I am not saying that it shouldn't be an issue, especially with professional legitimate refs but in order to completely eliminate and prevent all doubts from having a clean officiating match it's better to put a ref with no conflict of interest. If your theory is 100 percent fool proof like you claim then you would even see refs officiate matches between teams that are the nationality of one of the teams in action but as we all know we never see that, even if the refs are 100 percent clean and legitimate. For example, like putting an argentine ref in a match between Argentina and Germany. It's not about whether a ref is corrupt or not. It's about getting rid of all doubts and making sure there isn't any favoritism in play as that could also leave room for an appeal to be made.

He is an honest and humble player who is doing very well in Napoli as a defender, despite having been with this team for less than two months. He has already scored 3 goals and as a defender he is really a wall. The fault in 2002 was, not of the players, but of the organizers, Fifa and Moreno

I don’t think Qatar will give a $hit about their own team. I mean their group is stacked as hell. For them, the tournament is money. I’m more worried about Iran and Saudi Arabia, the Muslim Powers Qatar is sandwiched in-between. If Soccer is to grow in the Middle East, those two Caliphates more than likely want their teams to do good. This raises the question for me, does England, The US, and Wales then have to have a blood bath for 2nd? There’s a lot that could happen, but I’m expecting the big population nations to go far along with either Iran or Saudi Arabia. It’s so unlikely Qatar will make themselves the “bad guys” rigging this. One of the other Muslim powers will likely be. My money is on Saudi Arabia shocking the group of Poland, Mexico, and Argentina. But Iran could also make it out. They’ve never done that. There’s no way Qatar actually does this for themselves. Except the money part. Which now that I mention it, makes me more worried for UAE vs Australia. In fact, the worst case scenario, all the Muslim Nations do well

Despite what happened on Knock-out stages, South-Korea totally deserved to win the group. Their team played with very fast counter-attacks, was highly motivated and fought bravely. It was actually a decent team who caught everyone by surprise. I'm portuguese, but Korea deserved to beat Portugal, we played poorly that game and the tournament, too much pressure and too little emotional control. The first red for Portugal was early and decisive, but also obvious. João Pinto almost broke Korean player leg there, hard to even watch the replay without turning your head sideways. The second red was a double yellow, a bit dubious but acceptable.

[@jdabull]

Of course, the channel owner is Portugese. Putting frames on other matches for justification simply. Joao Pinto, thin short fused average player wrapped both leg and twisted Park's Tibia. Potent career breaker, straight red on anyone's book. Opponents simply overlooked South Korea. Portugal trained in Macau with opponent roster of Korea from the previous world cup. Koreans went as far as stopping domestic league for National team training sessions at months. There are wrong calls in Sports, has been always and will be. How many wrong flag have you seen on different leagues all over? How many forwards dive? Have anyone seen a single match without a player selling foul looking at the ref? Refs are swayed by the crowd as humans simply are wired to do so, called home advantage in any sports. Ultra right Japanese made clips from Mid 2000s had done its job persuading people. Innocent til proven guilty, otherwise this simply is a conspiracy.
