It's amazing listening to Australians saying they were:

1) robbed by an Italian ref
2) Nz were robbed just like Australia in 2006.

I can't believe the level of whining! It's hilarious! LOL!!!

1) Was it not a deserved red card for Kewell? Why are players like Kewell
whining?

2) The first gol was offside, the second might have been a soft penalty, so
that makes it even. So where was NZ robbed?

I seem to recall you saying to me "Yes, let's talk about football!"
instead of all this fan-whining talk.

Is someone holding your child hostage, forcing you to spend so much
time talking about the fans instead of the football?

That depends on who the referee is, and how he deemed it to be intentional
or not. A different referee might have waved it away.

The first point, the linesman made a blatant error, but the goal was given,
tough luck, the second was a very poor refereeing decision, no where that I
know of does the referee have to even anything up.

The second point, I dont know, you tell me!!!
