Your say: Korean goal hero axed
(CNN) -- Italian football club Perugia has cut its ties with the South Korean player Ahn Jung-hwan whose golden goal knocked Italy out of the World Cup. CNN's. Richard Quest asked for your opinion on this controversial decision. You can have your say by mailing quest@cnn.com. The decision of the Perugia boss is irrational, biased and if not reversed, it will leave a very big dirty mark on Italian football forever. Ubasonye Chidi, Nigeria This is a simple case of a childish act and bad manners. Titus Manuel, Philippines I can't imagine anything more unsportsmanlike if they sack this player. Nationalism is OK but within limits. Ray Owen, Switzerland Let's face it. It's a business deal. Karin Edwards, Germany
He's doing the right thing as an Italian, not as a soccer team owner. Sunuk Kim, Korea Ahn Jung-hwan was playing for his country, it shouldn't matter that his club is Italian. Michael, Kenya The club chairman's goal was not to take revenge against South Korea, but rather to give a strong signal against the suspected plot against Italy throughout this whole World Cup. Alessandro Lonardo, Italy The Italian reaction is a reflection of how far they have fallen since the days of the great Roman Empire, when losers were as magnanimous in defeat as they were in victory. Eve Tan Choo Hwee, Singapore Of course the Perugia manager had to remove the South Korean from the team. With such a passionate football following in Italy he would have faced the wrath of supporters throughout the country. Stephen Haddlesey The Italians were cheated from the very beginning of the Cup.
