You can say that about every match..soccer players are the worlds best floppers..S Korea is not known for their physical play so its kind of funny to see a utube clip with them taking people down...more power to them..haha

I'm more talking about the poor refereeing decisions. They first half of the video was against Italy, so of course there was diving.

Khedira, Gomez, Ozil, Cacau, Klose, all born of foreign parents. I made a comment about how the former "master" race isnt the majority makeup of the national team anymore, they remind me of the US team.

Understood. I'm French, pleased to meet you.

I'm not blaming the team, I'm saying they're overrated based off the achievement of reaching the semifinals in 2002.
