Why am i bitter? because the Italians suck and need to cheat to win! Isn't cheating in your own league enough?Originally Posted by Doomie
How the hell would you her me complain about Maradona? I was 2 years old!![]()
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.Originally Posted by Russielloyd
You're bitter because Australia can't beat a 10-man squad.
So I figured you'd still be bitter for when Maradona handed the ball in.
EDIT: And for the record, the call wasn't made by the Italian team itself. If you don't like it, take it out on Spain.![]()
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!Originally Posted by Doomie
So let me get this straight, you think i'm not complaining about Maradonna, now i'm bitter about it, make your mind up.
Probably paid the ref off, but sent off Italy's best player to make him look genuine.EDIT: And for the record, the call wasn't made by the Italian team itself. If you don't like it, take it out on Spain.![]()
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 most important and recognize player in the history of the country."
Sometimes I wonder what my life would be like if I were as great as Paulo Wanchope.
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.Originally Posted by dragoonknight_kain

I agree with Cz -- Neill was sterling throughout the game, and he didn't deserve that. But good of Grosso to press on.
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?
