Before the game all the Italain players shaved thier backs for good luck. Thats why Italy won.

No, it was quite legitimate. Lucas Neil was an idiot to dive in front of a player making a run inside the box. Anyone would seize that opportunity and trip over the playeer after which a penalty was justified.

And if you think the penalty was wrong, so was the red card given to materazzi which should have been a yellow at best since he wasnt the last man.

Italy's primary form of play is the counter attack. A lot of teams can dominate them in terms of possesion and what not but breaching their defence which is the best in the world and scoring is a whole different story which australia found out today. And nesta wasnt even there.

Bye bye kangaroos

Lol, someones gotta make a remake of that "You got owned" flash that the Aussies done when they beat Japan 3-1!

But seriously i always support the underdogs. With korea and japan gone i had hoped that Aus would get further

no penalty like that should be given at LAST SECOND of the match. as much i love italians i think they got off real easy with that penalty

i was at federation square in melbourne where they had a giant screen set up. after the penalty there was dead silence.

He went in with 2 feet off the ground, which is a tackle fifa want outlawed, so the ref was right to send that scumbag off. He shouldn't even be playing at all after what he did to Sorin's nose in the Champs League 1/4 final. ****.

I do feel for you...but i can just imagine everyone staring blankly and hearing crickets chirp.

I wonder if there will be a Youtube video of it up soon...

i didnt watch the game, but go see the highlights, from what i can tell italy played a much better game. and as someone said before that red card was bullshit, even if it was a 2 feet tackle, he barely made contact, but its always up to the ref and it can go both ways. the penalty im not quite sure what to make of it, it could gone both ways too. also stop the italy bashing, they're good even if you dont like it, and even if they went to extra time aussie land had no chance, the teams are on different levels of play

That Materazzi is a dirty bastard, good to see him sent off...but for some reason Hiddink didn't go for it, would have been nice to see them try and get a goal against Italy.
I couldn't stand it if Italy won, I really hate those bastards and their negative style. Please either Ukraine or Switzerland knock them out!
