text: It may not have been completely fair, however Korea has gotten more than their fair share of HORRENDOUS calls going their way.  thinking back to World cup 2002, look at the Spain-korea game!  Spain should have won that game easily but had two goals disallowed when it was quite obvious that both should have been allowed; a mistake that eliminated Spain and allowed those damn Koreans to move on.  Fast forward to this WC and we see Korea getting away with a 1-1 draw with France when it was quite obvious that Vieira's goal should have made the game 2-0, but of course the Koreans got away with it and then later came back to equalize!  So, in answer to your question, yes this probably was somewhat unfair in this particular match to the Koreans, but this once again shows that the concept of Karma plays a huge part in international football.  So much so that when I found out about their loss and watched the replay of the game, I laughed heartily at the misfortune of the Koreans!
