2 Why is the World Cup in Korea and Japan called a shame in football history? What happened then?
Competitive sports have brought us a lot of passion and joy, and our attention to sports is getting higher and higher. We know that football is one of the most widespread sports in the world, and it has a very high level of attention around the world. Especially during the World Cup, there are basically a few fans around everyone who don't hesitate to stay up late to watch the game. After all, the teams that can participate in the World Cup are all very strong, and the natural events are also very exciting. But not all World Cups will be well received by fans. For example, the Japan-Korea World Cup in 2002 was called a shame in the history of world football. What is going on?
In fact, before 2002, the World Cup was basically under the monopoly of Europe and South America. The then FIFA President Joao Havelange had basically decided that Japan would host the 2002 World Cup, but this was met by the then Vice President of FIFA and Chairman of the Korean Football Association, Zheng Mongzhun, who firmly opposed Japan's independence. The host means that South Korea will also participate in the bid for this World Cup. In the end, the two countries were also very fierce. In the end, FIFA also chose not to offend any party and decided that the 2002 World Cup would be held in South Korea and Japan. Although it is of special significance to say that the World Cup is hosted by two Asian countries for the first time, this World Cup left fans with more anger.
First of all, it is because although FIFA announced that South Korea and Japan will hold the World Cup together, the two countries have not really shaken hands and made peace, so that the World Cup will be held well. The two sides are still fighting very fiercely in private, and this has also led to many things in this World Cup being incomplete.Secondly, the referee on this World Cup is no longer taking care of the host Korean team , but directly escorted the Korean team all the way to the end.
At the beginning of the group stage, the Portuguese team was directly hacked by the South Korean team, which also caused an uproar among fans all over the world. But then the South Korean team's next performance in the game, it is simply insignificant. In the 16-to-8 game, the Korean team encountered the championship favorite and Italian . In this game, the Korean team would not get fouled even if they kicked the Italian player's head openly. The player fell down, but the referee's penalty was that the Italian player flopped and was sent off with a direct red card.
Then in the 8-to-4 game, the Spanish team was hacked by South Korea again. Spain actually scored two goals in the game, but they were both called invalid goals by the referee in the end. In the end, when the game reached 119 minutes, Spain got the opportunity to serve a corner kick, but the referee directly blew the whistle to announce that the game time was up. In this way, South Korea made it all the way to the top four, and in the top four, the South Korean team finally Down at the feet of the German team .
In fact, if the South Korean team wants to be hacked, the German team is estimated to be doomed. However, because the German famous Beckenbauer was an official of FIFA at that time, he temporarily announced that he had replaced the referee before the match between Germany and South Korea, which also left the South Korean team helpless, and the strength of the German team at that time was also It is indeed an all-round crushing of the Korean team. It is precisely because of this World Cup that the Italian Football League said that it will never use Korean players again in the future, and cleared all existing Korean players in the team.
