A bit of all 4, really.
They have been called the success story of the World Cup, and have knocked out Italy, and now Spain. But what are these freak victories down to? Let's see...
Skill:
Both South Korea and Japan have famously put a lot of training into the tournament, with their foreign manager's organising many friendly matches since no qualification to the World Cup was required. There have definitely been matches where they deserved to win, and matches where they have certainly played well, proving the huge amount of training was worth it.
Luck:
There definitely were times when it wasn't them who got the goals scored, and that other teams just made mistakes. I can't think of much else to say on htis one...
Fix:
Call me paranoiac (sp), but in the Spain and Italy games there did as though something fishy was going on...
In both games, the losing teams had two goals each disallowed from "bad officiating", and they definitely should have been counted.
The referees acted hostile towards the opponents, and were cheerful to the Koreans.
The two refs were Egyptian, a nationality not strong in FIFA therefore easily bribed.
Totti's sending off was ridiculous.
Something else:
The evidence behind this: I don't know much about footie :-D
