But it would have been more acceptable in your eyes if it had been given maybe 20-30 minutes earlier? What a crock of shit.

My biggest annoyance with the World Cup is all the morons who every 4 years suddenly know everything there is to know about football.

just because he could've avoided the other player, doesnt mean he had to, if he had, no foul no harm, but he didnt so it is a yellow card cuz the player was obstructing even if he was just laying there. its a technicality but its up to the ref and it was a posible call. even at that, let's say the penalty hadnt been given, and they had gone to extra time, surely italy would've won. the australians didnt score in a 10-11 position for 40mins, and italy had way more chances to score, so why would australia win? just because you wanted them to? given, its imposible to predict an outcome, but italy was favorite to win that match even in extra time with 10 players.
