Turk hopes call won't hurt relations
ASSAN South Korea Turkish soccer officials said they hoped controversial calls by the South Korean referee who officiated Monday's Group C match against Brazil wouldn't jeopardize the good relations Turkey and South Korea have enjoyed for the past 50 years. Haluk Ulusoy head of Turkey's soccer federation said We sacrificed 1000 soldiers here to defend Koreans and one Korean killed 70 million Turks last night. Ulusoy added I wish I were not forced to speak about a Korean like that stating We love Koreans but that man can't be a referee.
