All those tweets were made by people whose parents weren't even alive in 1941.

During the award ceremony, all the teams were smiling and happy and in no way bitter. Only soccer can do this :3

The ironing of the game and those tweets occurring on the anniversary of the Nagasaki bombing is going to make my head explode.

As expected, the Japan-South Korea bronze medal game is NASTY. Four yellow cards in the first half?

Hah yea, no love loss there. I once had an old Korean guy tell me he liked USA because we bombed Japan.

Anyway, I was also told that Koreans that brings home an Olympic medal get out of the compulsory military service. So I guess I'd be playing nasty too in that case.

The perfect sport for people who skip leg days.

Guy in my office just won bronze in the race against that guy (who came 7th)

Korea's been playing dirty every time they've faced Japan in any event this Olympics.  It's really poor sportsmanship.  But par for the course.  I don't disagree with their reasons for being pissed off at Japan, but they're doing everything they can to keep holding a grudge and pass the hate down to the next generation.  Reminds me of some of my family/friends on the reserve back home, keeping the fires stoked against European Canadians.

Oh, I agree. I was in Seoul for the last World Cup, and watching the matches out in public felt like a Nuremberg rally. Attribute their victories to national superiority, and any losses to the dastardly cheating of other countries.

More great sportsmanship: http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/olympics-fourth-place-medal/ioc-says-south-korean-player-t-accept-bronze-145955541--oly.html
