Sea of red anger rises in S Korea

What you see above are thousands and thousands of South Korean football fans. They had gathered in Seoul to watch a live TV broadcast of the World Cup group match between South Korea and Switzerland on a giant screen on June 14.

This was an important game for the Koreans. If they had won, they could have progressed to the second round stage, and play Ukraine tonight. However they failed to live up to the expectations of their fans, losing 2-0 to Switzerland.

Some of these fans accepted the defeat gracefully while there were also others who blamed everyone but their team for the defeat. Some has even taken the matter to FIFA – by blaming poor refereeing for their defeat.

It seems more than 4.2 million South Koreans flooded the official World Cup site with emails in an organized protest. Luckily for FIFA, it caught the email attack in time and blocked all incoming emails from South Korea.
