Italy v Australia

[Reg Smeeton]

Italy is a proper football country, despite its flaws....Forza Azzurri.

 Would the Italians have moaned about bodyline....don't think so.

By the way-how was that a penalty?The Oz was laid on the floor.Mind you I thought the sending off was a joke by yet another random ref.How the fuck are they gonna pick one for the final,they're all fucking nuts!

A good game I thought. I dislike both teams and found myself rooting for the Socceroos. They played alright, but like someone else said, you have to score against 10 men. Itlay defended well after the red. They're better without Matterazzi in the side. He's proper gash.

They got very lucky with the penalty, though Totti stuck it away very nicely.

All the fucking cunts are out in their cars beeping their horns and waving flags.

After the penalty I opened the window at work and was booing all the cheering folk below. I did the little 'dive' hand signal to a car full of losers waving flags but they didn't do or say anything back. Loserini.

that keeps my 2nd round accumulator alive, got to love a bit of italian diving

I was convinced totti was going to miss

[Sippo]

i'm my opinion I thought it was a penalty. It annoys me, if you're a defender stay on your feet in the area!!  :x

another match ... another dodgy ref decides it
