Sore Loser of the Week Award:
Italian club team fires Korean heroYep, there's nothing more pathetic than a goat who can't afford a sandwich.
South Korea hero Ahn Jung-Hwan, who scored the golden goal to knock out Italy from the World Cup, has essentially been fired by his Italian club Perugia.
''I am not extending his contract,'' Perugia president Luciano Gaucci said. "He does not merit it. When he arrived, he was like a little lost goat who didn't even have the money to buy a sandwich. He became rich without doing anything exceptional for our club. And then, at the World Cup, he destroyed Italian football.
"I would have to pay [$1.53 million] to extend his contract. But I won't. He should have shown his talent while he was with us. He'll just have to go back to Korea and earn [$48] a month.''

If he didn't play well on the club, then I can see why they wouldn't re-sign him. But Italy could've and should've won that game save for that Ecuadorian ref who disallowed a goal that shouldn't have been disallowed, gave Totti a red card for diving when he was clearly pushed down, and clearly favored South Korea. That ref should've NEVER been working that game considering Ecuador was beaten by Italy in group play. He is banned from officiating FIFA matches for life.
