SK dumb defense has been the problem. SK players lack of controlling
of the shooting. Lee faced with goal keeper 1:1 and his shooting
was totally mishandled.
The national team player should not miss that chance.

This game suppose to be won by SK. They just got no luck.

Korean 40 millions population can't beat the Uruguay only 3 millions
population.
The fact is dumb korean just can't control the ball. They lost the
game even though their possession of ball 60:40. Uruguay player
surely have better technique of
shooting... The last goal was beautiful how the ball going curve....

By this I meant when you said that intent did not matter, when the rule
clearly states otherwise. No other offense intended.

Then what do you make of this:

.. the position of the hand does not necessarily mean that there is an
infringement

That is written in there, in the advice for the referees. It would be
nice if they illustrated with examples, but as the rule (DELIBERATE) and
advice to referees are written, I think a ref is perfectly within his or
her rights not to consider something like Frings vs. USA, Kewell vs.
Ghana, or John Collins (or was it Tommy Boyd) vs. Netherlands (1996) not
to be a handball, and , interestingly, in 2/3 of those cases the decsion
went in favour of the defender.

No worries at all; I can handle a spirited debate. :)

I reckon that's to protect against a player who's struck from a meter
away when his hand is flailing about but it's pretty clear that he's not
flailing about to interfere with play. Messy, no?

Too messy. The rules and advice should be written more clearly.
