Four minutes in and Buffon has saved a penalty already.
Wouldn’t it be fantastic to get another shock result?

Or maybe not. Italy have just scored through Christian Vieri, apparently.
Arrrgh, lovely turn in the box from Ahn, shot just too high. No surprise in Vieri scoring, take him out of the equation and Italy’s routes to goal are thin on the ground.
I want Italy to go through, even though I’ve developed a soft spot for South Korea.
I want to see Italy avenge all those terrible terrible offside decisions. I make it five good goals they’ve had disallowed in this tournament. Paolo Maldini said that if Graham Poll “had refereed like that in Italy, he’d have been burnt at the stake”. I’m accepting donations of firewood, old newspapers etc for “Maldini’s Bonfire Appeal” ;).
Zanetti just gave away a free kick…
Ahn Jun Wan (think that’s right) took it, deflected wide…
a corner taken by Park Ji Sung
Another corner, but Francesco Coco needs attention after a clash of heads
Sung Chong Gug takes the corner, comfortably cleared
Back the the Koreans - Ahn shoots, and Buffon makes a good save
2 minutes added onto the first half
I’m currently following it on this page.
Coco has had a bandage stuck on his head, and covered with a ridiculous net stocking thingy. He’ll get his head stitched now it’s half time
That’s the one thing I seem to be really lucky with here, every game live on free to air tv.
It’s on TV here too, but I’m at my desk and the TV is down in the canteen. Sorry, “staff restaurant”.
Nice to see the Italians playing good honest defensive Italian football. I don’t think Korea will get through it, to be honest. The only way they will is from a 35 yard rocket.
I guess I shouldn’t look in here as I am at work and taping the game. But I actually had the first goal spoiled for me by US radio coming into work. What’s the wold coming to when they divert their attention from baseball, hockey, basketball and golf long enough to tell me that Italy have scored in the 16th minute? Gotta be a sign of the apocalypse, I’m in Cincinnati, Ohio for crying out loud!
Staff restaurant, I love a good euphimism.
TV opposite my desk, waiting room empty
Waaarrrgh! Equaliser! Go Sth Korea
OMG … and 1 1/4 million go mad in downtown Seoul
AAAAAHH!
stupid error from the Italians…
Seol Ki Hyeon bangs it in!
And Vieri misses YET ANOTHER one. He totally, utterly lobstered it in front of goal.
Holy smokes! Just when I thought it was getting a bit boring!
Golden goal extra time…
Can Trappatoni’s heart take it?
Can mine?
Korea team fighting! (sic)
Being non-partisan in this one, I’d love to see it go to penalties.
Italians almost fell apart before full time. There’s no shortage of drama the last few weeks, bloody hell
