His tackle didn't even touch the ball. Ever. It would have been a foul anywhere on the field. Just our luck that is was where it was. :p

un-friggen believeable how the hell was that a penalty!? The guy bloody tripped...could not come at a worse time either...
He didn't even touch the player, it wasn't a pen, he played for it! Italians cheating as usual.Quote:

I didn't think that was a penalty -- not on watching the replay. The guy -- I actually didn't see who it was o_o Grosso (what a name)??-- just tripped over Neill's body. Italy didn't entirely deserve that, but perhaps the Aussies should have capitalised on their 40 minutes against 10 men. Italy are so unbelievably lucky, it's unbelievable. Italy had a much better first half though, indisputably. But Jesus Christ, five seconds before the final whistle.
Metarazzi (sp?) red-carded -- how incredibly stupid of him. With Nesta out injured, Italian centre-back woes are just beginning.
I am sorry :( *huggles gor-gor* I think it really oughter have gone into extra time. Bah.
You're bitter because Italy won. :p You're bitter because Australia can't beat a 10-man squad. :p So I figured you'd still be bitter for when Maradona handed the ball in. :pQuote:

i do think the red card on point was a bit much but Neil was on the ground already..after watching the replay the guy just fell over him!
Annoyed that Italy cheated...again, god have mercy if anyone does it to Italy but if Italy do it it's alright!Quote:

Probably paid the ref off, but sent off Italy's best player to make him look genuine.Quote:

Dodgy Italians.
Penalty or not, Lucas Neill didn't deserve to be the man responsible for Australia's exit. He's played brilliantly in the centre of the Aussies' defence, and to concede a penalty as the very last action of your World Cup must be horrible. Italy were probably the better side (even with Materazzi off, they looked competitive), but you've got to hand it to the Australian squad for getting this far. See you in 2010, lads.
The ref only gave the penalty because he knew he had made a mistake by sending off Materazzi(sp). He was afraid of blundering against Italy again, so he gave the penalty. There's no way he didn't see that Grosso tripped on Neill.
;_;
I dunno. Materazzi's (sp?? xD) challenge was pretty bad. And to be quite honest, I didn't see that Grosso had fallen over Neill until the replay from a different angle, and the referee only saw it once. :pQuote:

I don't know. But it's the second time mistakes help the Italians. Against Ghana, Simon (the referee) ignored 2 penalties against Italy. Coincidence?
