Report

The sign that's put the South Korean footballer onto the headlinesread "Dokdo is our land." Dokdo, or Takeshima in Japanese, are a set

of islands half way between Korea and Japan, that have been

disputed between the two countries for decades(十年).

A Korean Olympics Committee official told reporters that the sign

that the midfielder displayed was handed to him by spectators(观众)at the end of the match, and the player simply ran with it

overcome with the joy of victory. FIFA, the world footbal

lgoverning body, has asked the Korean Football Association to further

investigate the incident and provide results by the 16th.

Political messages are banned at the Olympics and the 23-year-old footballer was barred from attending the medal award(奖品)ceremony(典礼).

In South Korea, passion remains high over the rocky(岩石的) islands under dispute(辩论).

For many Koreans, it is a reminder of 35 yearsof colonial rule by Japan.While Korean territory(领土) before its

annexation was eventually(最后) returned, the claim(要求) to Dokdoor Takeshima has continuously(连续不断地) been disputed.

On Friday, a few days before Korea's Liberation Day, President LeeMyung Bak made a surprise visit to Dokdo, the first South Korean

President to set foot on the disputed islands, generating(产生的)fierce criticism from Japan.
