Titolo: Pig headed Italian bad losers, boo hiss, shites

The Italians are acting like little girls who have lost their sweeties.
Have you seen what they're doing with Ahn? He's out of contract and he's a
good player. He scored the golden goal for Korea.
The Italians, who here prove themselves yet again to be the Worst Losers in
the world, are throwing him out.
***************************
Perugia punish Ahn for Korea heroics  (News)
Perugia coach Serse Cosmi has insisted that South Korea forward Ahn
Jung-hwan will not be welcome at the club next season after scoring the
golden goal that knocked Italy out of the World Cup. "I will ask my
president to let him go. I don't want to see him in my team," he said.
Ahn kept South Korea's hopes of qualifying for the second phase alive when
he came on as a substitute to head a 78th minute equaliser against the USA
last week -and he went one better on Tuesday, when he atoned for a missed
penalty by scoring with a 118th-minute header that sent Italy crashing out
of the tournament.
The 26-year-old was kept in limbo by the Perugia management - and despite
his impressive performances, he will be asked to leave.
Cosmi confirmed: "Obviously he did what he could for his own team. But I can
only say, if he he had run for Perugia in the last two seasons like he ran
against Italy, he would have been playing many more games.
"He is technically a very good player and he understood that in Italy,
playing football is not only about last 40 yards of the pitch. I consider
him a midfielder rather than a striker."
Perugia president Luciano Gaucci agreed with Cosmi. "I will never see him in
Perugia. I don't want to. Ahn won't be a Perugia player any more. I called
his agent, I talked with my executives, and we chose that.
"He was a star, a phenomenon against Italy. But he never played a match like
that one in Perugia. I consider his attitude an offence to a country that
helped him for two years, and as a president of an Italian club, I feel
guilty. I don't want to pay him any more.
"We have ruined ourselves. Ahn had his chances in Italy, but he made a lot
of mistakes: he seemed a mysterious player. I can't feel satisfied because I
have found a good player. It's very dificult to accept this loss."
Ahn joined Perugia from Pusan Icons in August 2000 but looked to be on the
verge of leaving 12 months later having failed to establish himself as a
first team regular. He scored four goals in 29 matches in his first season,
and one in 14 last season.
******************
Isn't that disgusting??? I mean, I don't want to moan, but can you imagine
that happening anywhere else? If Spain were knocked out by Argentina, for
example, because of a goal by Aimar, do you think Valencia would throw out
Aimar?
Ahn has immediately received interest from a number of clubs, among them
Barcelona, Glasgow Rangers and a couple of German teams (undisclosed).
But if I were Ahn, I'd sue Perugia in the European Courts! It's
disgusting!!!! I mean, can you imagine anything in this country or in
Spain?? Had Verón scored against England, do you really think Man Utd would
kick him out?

Por haber metido el gol de oro que eliminó a Italia, las puertas
del 'calcio' italiano se han cerrado para Ahn, el coreano que juega en
el Perugia y cuyo presidente no quiere ni oír hablar de este futbolista
que ha humillado y "ofendido al país que le acogió" y le ha
aconsejado "que se vuelva a Corea a cobrar cien liras al mes".
BECAUSE HE SCORED THE GOLDEN GOAL THAT KNOCKED OUT ITALY, THE DOORS OF
ITALIAN "CALCIO" HAVE BEEN CLOSED FOR AHN, THE KOREAN WHO PLAYS IN PERUGIA
AND WHOSE PRESIDENT DOESN'T EVEN WANT TO HEAR THE NAME OF THIS FOOTBALLER
WHO HAS HUMILIATED AND "OFFENDED THE COUNTRY THAT WELCOMED HIM" AND HE HAS
ADVISED HIM TO "RETURN TO KOREA TO EARN 100 LIRE PER MONTH AGAIN".
"Basta, ese (Ahn) no volverá a poner un pie en Perugia, no lo quiero
ver más, ya que ha ofendido al país que le ha acogido. He dado órdenes
para que no regrese al club. Estoy indignado, sólo ha despuntado ahora
en el Mundial, cuando se ha tratado de Italia", afirmó -indignado es
poco- Luciano Gaucci, presidente del Perugia, donde milita el coreano.
"ENOUGH IS ENOUGH, AHN WILL NEVER SET FOOT AGAIN IN PERUGIA, I DON'T WANT TO
SEE HIM AGAIN, SINCE HE HAS OFFENDED THE COUNTRY WHO WELCOMED HIM. I HAVE
ORDERED THAT HE CANNOT RETURN TO THE CLUB. I AM INDIGNANT, HE ONLY SEEMS TO
HAVE MADE A NAME FOR HIMSELF NOW IN THE WORLD CUP, AND AGAINST ITALY",
STATED (INDIGNANT BEING NO OVERSTATEMENT) LUCIANO GAUCCI, CHAIRMAN OF
PERUGIA, FOR WHOM THE KOREAN PLAYS HIS FOOTBALL.
Gaucci agregó que el coreano "ha herido" su "orgullo de italiano" y a
un país que le abrió las puertas.
GAUCCI ADDED THAT THE KOREAN "HAD WOUNDED" HIS "ITALIAN PRIDE" AND A COUNTRY
THAT OPENED ITS DOORS TO HIM.
El empresario, tras el desencanto e indignación que ha supuesto para
este país la eliminación del Mundial, cuando se veían en las
semifinales, juró y perjuró que no pagará más "a uno que ha arruinado
al fútbol italiano".
THE BUSINESSMAN, AFTER THE DISAPPOINTMENT AND INDIGNATION THAT FOLLOWED HIS
COUNTRY'S ELIMINATION FROM THE WORLD CUP, WHEN THEY WERE SO CLOSE TO THE
SEMIFINALS, SWORE AND VOWED THAT HE WOULD NOT PAY A SINGLE PENNY TO SOMEONE
"WHO HAS RUINED ITALIAN FOOTBALL".
El presidente del Perugia, club de la primera división, concluyó
sentenciando: "que se vaya a Corea a cobrar cien liras al mes".
THE PRESIDENT OF PERUGIA, A CLUB IN THE FIRST DIVISION, FINISHED UP BY
SAYING: "LET HIM GO BACK TO KOREA SO HE CAN EARN 100 LIRE A MONTH AGAIN".
A Ahn, de 26 años, su gesta le ha supuesto un río de críticas en la
prensa italiana, donde prestigiosos diarios como Il Messaggero cuentan
que llegó al Perugia "en el paquete" del patrocinador económico Daewoo.
"26-YEAR-OLD AHN'S ACTIONS HAVE RESULTED IN FLOODS OF CRITITICISM IN THE
ITALIAN PRESS, WHERE PRESTIGIOUS DAILIES SUCH AS "IL MESSAGGERO" TELL THAT
HE ARRIVED IN PERUGIA "AS PART OF A PACKAGE DEAL" WITH SPONSORS DAEWOO.
El diario romano le echa en cara que es "alérgico" al idioma italiano,
que sólo sabe decir "ciao", que durante meses ha tenido fuertes
problemas de alimentación, ya que no le gusta la comida italiana, y
sólo se alimentaba de chocolate, "de ahí que al jugador, que hace de
modelo para una casa de cosmética y perfume, le salieran gigantescos y
feísimos granos".
THE ROME-BASED DAILY ADDED THAT AHN IS "ALERGIC" TO THE ITALIAN LANGUAGE,
THAT ALL HE CAN SAY IS "CIAO", THAT DURING MONTHS HE HAS HAD SERIOUS EATING
DISORDERS SINCE HE DOESN'T LIKE ITALIAN FOOD AND ONLY ATE CHOCOLATE, "SO THE
PLAYER, WHO WAS A MODEL FOR A COSMETICS AND AFTERSHAVE COMPANY, ENDED UP
WITH HUGE UGLY ZITS ALL OVER HIS FACE".
La prensa recuerda que ha jugado poquísimo (25 veces en dos años) y que
no ha hecho "ni siquiera" el servicio militar.
THE PRESS ACKNOWLEDGED THE PLAYER PLAYED VERY LITTLE (25 TIMES IN TWO YEARS)
AND THAT HE "HADN'T EVEN" CARRIED OUT HIS MILITARY SERVICE.
Il Messaggero desvela, sin venir a cuento, que la madre del coreano es
una empedernida jugadora y asegura que si no se lo queda en su casa
coreana como un "amuleto" las puertas de Europa se pueden abrir para
esta "bestia negra" del fútbol italiano.
"IL MESSAGERO" UNVEILED FURTHERMORE THAT THE PLAYER'S MOTHER IS AN
INVETERATE GAMBLER AND STATES THAT UNLESS HE STAYS AT HIS KOREAN HOME LIKE A
GOOD-LUCK SYMBOL THEN THE DOORS OF EUROPE MAY OPEN FOR THIS "BETE NOIR" OF
ITALIAN FOOTBALL.
Y es que, según la prensa, el Barcelona, el Glasgow Rangers y algunos
equipos alemanes están interesados en Ahn, "que llegó a Perugia en un
Daewoo y de Perugia se irá a patadas en el culo", escribe 'Il
Messaggero'.
AND ACCORDING TO THE PRESS, BARCELONA, GLASGOW RANGERS AND SOME GERMAN TEAMS
ARE INTERESTED IN AHN, "WHO ARRIVED IN PERUGIA IN A DAEWOO AND WHO WILL
LEAVE PERUGIA WITH A KICK UP THE ARSE", WRITES "IL MESSAGERO".

Disgusting. I am disgusted with the Italians. I thought they were a bit
bigger than this. They have proven themselves to be lower than the low. I
loved Italian football, I loved Italian players.
But now my opinion of them is ZERO. They are bad losers. SOUR GRAPES.
I love the gentlemen in Italian football. Gianfranco Zola is a gentleman.
Amadeo Carboni is a gentlemen.
But Perugia's actions are disgusting. And the fact they will be allowed to
get away with this is disgusting. It tarnishes the image of the entire
Italian calcio.
Why can the Italians behave more like adult gentlemen like the English or
the Spanish?
As for the French, have Lens kicked out their Senegalese players? Of course
not. Most of the Senegal team plays for French teams, but as far as I know,
other than the ones who have received better contracts elsewhere, they are
not all going nor has there been any mention that they are not welcome in
France.
Why do the Italians have to behave like babies on the International scene?
Rather than be graceful in defeat, they are making themselves look very,
very stupid indeed.
The international football community will be appalled at this lack of
Italian gentlemanly conduct. BOO HISS to Italy.
Shame on you!
TRISTÁN

 Why can the Italians behave more like adult gentlemen like the English

I'll let this one go, I think....
