How about a reason voice without the Italian bashing?

Or maybe you don't see that?

To be honest, if I have to read a lot more about how
the finer points of the laws of the game (like red
cards for lunging tackles from behind or deliberate
manual goalmouth clearances by somebody other
than the keeper) shouldn't apply and are stupid
anyway if they concern such a mightily likeable team
like Australia, I'm tempted to call it quits and come
back when the WC is well over.

All that whining over referees has gone way out
of hand. And while the Italians might have started
it all back in 2002, they are no longer the main
culprits.


Ciao,
Werner

Most certainly the "unreasonable" voice of Italian football on this ng
has been deathly quiet this past 24 hours.

I hope you're not talking about the US... we moved on pretty fast.
Bradley thinking up a good excuse for the referee the day after (the
make up call theory on the premis that the call for the free kick was
to be reconsidered) was pretty magnanimous and not quickly emulated by
the managers of other teams.

As Lalas said, quit fidgeting around and just beat Algeria.

That is already impossible because a paradox.
