And that article is weak, get that shit out of here. People just like controversy and shit..If you base the entire tournament only on the final, than I guess you have a point. For me the only controversy was Korea's win over Spain. Brazil had a great team, legitimately better than any other team in the tpurnament. The 3 R's were unstoppable, and they won.

the '66 world cup was rigged crearly. everyone says it. also the '78 cup in argentina is the biggest rigged cup in the history of football. argentina were to face peru and brazil would face another team. back in the old rules brazil only needed a draw to win the cup. and argentina would have to beat peru who were better then them at that time. argentina's match was changed so they could play after brazil played.

Yeah, I'm not to familiar with the older world cups, but wasn't it that Argentina had to beat Peru by 4 goals and at that time Argentina wasn't the stronger of teams yet managed to pull a 6-0 win to advance?When you want to look at all the world cups they all have surprises and messed up outcomes for the most part so you can't say they're all rigged or something, it just looks like some countries manage to play some messed up games lol or at least it would seem.Either way Poland for 2010 :popcorn:
There is always going to be a conspiracy theory when the host wins. Crowds could influence referee decisions too you know. I know from experience on both sides. But as it was said before these tournaments were a long time ago. Let's focus and the one that's approaching :cheers:
