no, there cheats because numerous goals were scored against them and called back, which were perfectly fine.

Surely that is fault of the ref. It isn't as if the Koreans were the ones that disallowed your goals.

Rosa · 11-12-2005, 04:58 PM

hopefully not those flukey south koreans and their mates the the referee./lines people

**azzurri** · 11-12-2005, 05:00 PM

but coincidentally the tournament was in KOREA. which leads u to believe there might have been some bad things going on behind the scenes...anyways, we will c how good they are, tbh, there group isn't exactly the hardest, so even if they make it on, i doubt they will make it to the semi's like they did in 2002.

hanuma · 11-12-2005, 06:49 PM

but the refs werent ****ing koreans.

Don't know enough about Togo to be honest, so i'll take the safe bet of France n korea.

Takahara · 21-12-2005, 11:00 AM

France and Korea

L'Equipe has prepared a tempered and well-reasoned indictment of Domenech's squad. Micoud appears to be out because of an old feud with Domenech; France seems particularly hobbled by this kind of stuff, it is the same reason why Frey didn't get a look in despite being generally considered the best keeper in Serie A this year before he was hurt.

Not to mention Chimbonda getting called up.

Interesting.

Call me a eurocentric, but I think Switzerland will pip S.Korea.

**Jager** · 16-05-2006, 05:18 AM

Swiss are well organized, and have nothing to lose. S.Korea being favourites in a foreign country, does not bold well for them. They are expected to win now. Lets see how they do without the officials helping them.

hanuma · 16-05-2006, 06:55 AM

Favourites? How?

lol...I thought you meant over France.

**Jager** · 16-05-2006, 09:11 AM

I really don't know what to expect from France to be honest.

For geographic dispersion, can anyone beat Togo's 12 countries (and a greater number of leagues, as a number of the French players are not in Ligue 1, or Ligue 2 for that matter). This squad may also well set a record for the highest number of non-First Division players to go to the World Cup. Less than half of them play in the top flight, even if you don't take into account the fact that Metz have been relegated.

Goalkeepers: Kossi Agassa (FC Metz, France), Ouro-Nimini Tchangirou (Djoliba, Mali), Kodjovi Dodji Obilale (Etoile Filante, Togo)
Defenders: Jean Paul Yaovi Abalo (Apoel Nicosia, Cyprus), Eric Akoto (Admira Wacker, Austria), Richmond Forson (Jeanne d'Arc Poire, France), Karim Guede (Hamburg SV II, Germany), Ludovic Assemoassa (Ciudad Murcia, Spain), Toure Assimiou (Bayer Leverkusen, Germany), Dare Nibombe (Mons-Bergen, Belgium), Kuami Agboh (KSK Beveren, Belgium), Affo Cerlmont Erassa (AS Moulins, France)
Midfielders: Cherif Toure Mamam (Metz, France), Alaixys Romao (Louhans-Cuiseaux, France), Thomas Dossevi (Valenciennes, France), Yao Kaka Aziawonou (Young Boys, Suisse), Junior Senaya (YF Juventus, Switzerland), Adekanmi Olufade (Al Sailiya, Qatar)
Forwards: Emmanuel Adebayor (Arsenal, England), Mohamed Kader Coubadja (Guingamp, France), Robert Malm (Brest, France), Massamasso Tchangai (Benevento, Italy), Moustapha Salifou (Stade Brestois, France).
