The Biggest FIFA SCANDAL - 2002 FIFA World Cup - SUB ENG (Italy - South Korea)

2002 scandal by FIFA and South Korea

[milosejuk]

It's sad for Italy. This squad was better than 2006, this was Italy golden generation. Maldini deserved a World Cup.

[AnCaliban]

I still remember the newspaper titles from Spain and Germany making fun of Italy, and then, after quarter finals and semi finals, titling "ITALIANS WERE RIGHT". A worldwide scandal.

[rafaeloda]

That day, I've learned a new foreign word. "Vaffanculo!"

[alejandromiretelopez]

From Spain, we suffered the same, forza Italia! 🇪🇸♥️🇮🇹

[siralonnevincenthan]

The ironic things is, Italy Spain & Germany all become world champion in the next 3 world cups

2002: Scandal against spain and italy😢
2006: Italy won💕
2010: Spain Won😘

The best italian players i can ever remember: Maldini, Nesta, Del Piero, Totti, Vieri, Gattuso, Zambrotta, Panucci, Buffon, Toldo, Inzaghi, Montella, Cannavaro, Pirlo. What a team

[albi]

In 2015, following the maxi-investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the US Department of Justice on corruption in FIFA, it was established that the match was conditioned against the Italian national team. Moreno did discuss, a few years later, having a similar attitude during a match of the Ecuadorian championship (where he even ordered thirteen minutes of additional time); in 2003 he was suspended by FIFA and subsequently arrested for drug trafficking.

If Neymar played for Italy that time, he would've been dead.

[ciaranoconnell]

As an Irish man, I was really pleased for Italy in 2006 and this here is part of the reason why. So many great legends and that generation really deserved to win a World Cup.

[zappattack]

If you told someone back then that Buffon would still be playing in 2020, he'd call you mad

[larssrensen]

You can tell this defeat was tough for Italy because that Korean guy who scored the winning goal played for an italian club, and his club fired him.

[StarlingASMR]

Didn’t this ref get arrested years later with kilos of drugs in an airport?

[zenica]

Respect and love for Italy 🇮🇹 from Bosnia 🇧🇦
Stay strong Italy we love u

[luckystarpiano]

This was one of the most frustrating games I have ever watched!!! Thank goodness, Azzurri avenged 4 years later still with all of these legendary players in the team❤️

[Rogky]

'Moreno was arrested on 21 September 2010 at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York City, while trying to smuggle in six kilograms (over thirteen pounds) of heroin, which was hidden in his underwear.'

I think this says all about this little man.

[noway]

Ragazzi, a distanza di 18 anni non riesco ancora guardare quella partita fino alla fine. Avevamo forse la Nazionale più forte di tutti i tempi. Non ho parole....

[somewhereonearth]

Then 2006 italy win the world cup. That is the good karma.

[minus]

Tutto riassunto nelle parole del leggendario telecronista italiano Bruno Pizzul che dice "Va bene, allora vale tutto"
