Ditto across the world in soccer - there are fan riots at every other game. Can you imagine the melee if a championship was stripped? Someone would wake up with their throat cut.

There's more at work here, IMHO, than a scoring error for S. Korea to get so worked up.......... I think someone's bringing regular international politics into the Olympics - again. No solid evidence, just a hunch.
