Well, well, you might be mistaken into thinking that the Italians are a little bitter at their defeat by South Korea. Witness the firing of Korean goal scorer Ahn Jung-Hwan by his Italian club, Perugia.
It includes a great neo-fascist quote from the Perugia chairman Luciano Gaucci: “I am a nationalist and I regard such behavior not only as an affront to Italian pride but also an offence to a country which two years ago opened its doors to him.”
So, no bitterness there then. Assume it’s now in the hands of Ahn’s lawyers
And FIFA aren’t too happy with the Italians either. I guess being the only country to be beaten in the World Cup by both North and South Korea must be a real pisser.
