You admit it was even and NZ wasn't robbed?

There's too much Italy bashing going on, it's impossible to talk about football. I found it appalling.

I dont bash Italy, I love Italy, been there, have Italian relatives, and will go there again in the future, it just hurts when someone calls Australia as a whinging nation that I get annoyed at. We play sport hard but fair, and the lowest an opponent can get to is *taking a dive*, which is a non issue in every sport in Australia except when we play football against someone who uses it to our disadvantage, its taken a very long time for Football to get to where it is today, and it also hurts, when you hear the uneducated soccer viewer in Australia say, *oh its just a game where people just get knocked over by thin air*, and that newspaper you mention in another thread does its best to throw the sport into the ground. Show some respect, or people like me will return fire with the jibe like I did.

As we see in this WC with the sending off of Aussie players it is clear to see they do not know how to tackle or block shots on the goal line. Then when the are penalized for it they complain. Australia could learn from New Zealand. New Zealand knows the goal scored on Italy could have easily been ruled off and the penalty called against could have easily gone the other way too but they are content with the draw which keeps their hopes alive to move on. Australia are the sucks of world football. |
