I see that the Italian futbol team that Ahn of Korea played for, has cut ties with him. They don't want him coming back. They say they considered it before he beat them with his goal, but now it's in the best interests of their nation. It's just plain nationalism at play. Ahn beat them so they don't want him playing in Italy... it's that simple. I guess it's a message to "any players" from around the world, that beating the Italians in futbol means you can't play there anymore. rolleyes

Talk about a bunch of weasels. They'd even try to influence future matches. I hope the Italians never win another game, and players from other nations boycott the Italian leagues. Let them play for pasta dinners amongst themselves. Talk about poor sportsmanship, sheesh! It's amazing how political the World Cup really is. I hope the Italians get a steady dose of Korean officials during the next World Cup. That should really make their pasta boil over... laugh
