Just too sad after what I saw today... Italy was in fact the better side on the pitch, even with 10 men they were creating more scoring opportunities than Australia... no doubt about it.
But to win like that, that's just a shame. Even the most euforic italian guys at work were sad they won like that, with a fake penalty. Something needs to be done with these type of players who can't even smell the box because their legs all of the sudden turn weak and voila, you got a penalty. Whether that other play was red card or not... that play will be remembered by every football fan for a long time.
I feel so bad for those who were truly cheering for Aus and their fans at the stadium, just admirable. They have certainly made a supporter out of me.
In the end, today I feel disgusted about football and if you like honest, no cheating kind of football, you'd feel disgusted too. A sad, very sad day for football. :( :confused: :( |

lolz malek... I did watch the game and Aus wasn't creating any serious goal chances. You can't be that biased to deny that.
That was the problem with Aus today who weren't able of transforming all that ball possession % into more danger at Italy's box. I was surprised but they should have tried throwing more balls to Viduka and then Aloisi when he entered, at least something different who knows, but all those passes were not doing any harm at all. |

Someone wrote this in the Australia forum a week ago and i think it's very relevant to last nights game:

They need to change the image the media over there is paintint of them, its influencing the referee's decisions. I was reading in the paper a few days ago that in a split second decision that a study found %90 of decisions are effected by media flooding an opinion or statement. The referee's in all our games have made a lot of flawed decisions clearly effected by pre-conceptions. Australia are considered rough and dirty players and all the teams we have played have claimed this leading up to our matches as a tactic to get the referee's judgments clowded.
Free's for and Against have been stupid. Australia need to stand up to that and someone needs to realise and point out that Australia play harder at the ball than most teams and have more desperation than most teams. However they are sportsmanlike in behaviour. Then theres the BIG one, WE DONT TAKE STUPID DIVES! Australians very rarely waste time pretending to be hurt.
I think the semi finals are achievable if the media portrayel over in europe changes after our amazing efforts and endeavour last night even though the public mentality is against us.
BUT FCK YEAH BRING ON ITALY! |
If you've watched all of Australias games in the tournament you'll see how unfair many critical calls against us have been, it's been an uphill battle this entire time against injury, bad refs, and some of the best soccer teams in the world. It's really sad to see us go out this way but i am so proud at how far the Socceroos have come. If we had a bit of luck on our side things may have been different... |

Watch Fabio Grosso do a little skip with his left leg to position his foot closer to Neills back and then push down with the soul of his foot and lean forward. Absolutely ing despicable dive, how can a ref award something as blatantly theatrical as that in the last 7 seconds of the game? Divers are a disgrace to the sport.
I feel so sorry for Lucas Neill, he's the man that's gotten Australia this far, he hasn't stepped a foot wrong this entire tournament, and has been an amazing defender which makes this "foul" even more depressing. Lucas Neill deserves the Australian Man of the Tournament.
I think there are going to be quite a few big name clubs signing him and other Australians after this world cup.. |

i was so appalled by what i saw today that i will never every in my entire life will i ever root for italy ever again.
i am so ashamed how the italian team played, that i will probably not even teach my children how to speak italian... i don't want them know that we share a language and culture w/the pussies i saw on the field today.
what i saw was ambomination. that wasn't even football. just a bunch of guys taking shots to see if they can the ref to call a foul in their favor. one of the lowest most disgusting things i have ever seen in my entire life. |

| tathi, you should know better than to post a split second gif to represent that attempted tackle. you play a much longer version of it and its much less damning. he wasnt near the ball. if you go in hard like that and you dont get the ball then im sorry, even if you dont trip the guy up like he made out youre still in dangerous waters. |
