    Italy really had problems with referees in last few WC's (vs Croatia and South Korea in 2002) but after this they just don't have a right to mention it again :(

    The thing that gets me is that Australia dominated for the majority of the game. Sure Italy had a few chances here and there but towards the end of the match, Australia's possession ended up being around 59%.

    It's a very sad way to be knocked out of the world cup. :(

    Ponynugget, you are forgetting that Italy had 10 players almost the whole second half, and that's the reason for that possession statistics... It was 50-50 on the half time...

    Italy had 10 men for half the match so its obvious they wouldnt have as much possession. The Australian defender shouldnt of gone down and there never would of been a penalty.

    Why is it that Australians and Italians are always in controversial games :)

    In a way I wanted the Italians to get through as I think they have a better shot at winning the World Cup.

    Yeah, the penalty shouldn't have been awarded, but at the same time the Italians shouldn't have lost a player. They created more opportunities and deserved to win the game IMHO.

    I think Argentina is the best team this WC. they should win.
    but then again.. it's not always the best playing team win.
    you just have to put the ball into the goal..

    a lesson for the Ozzie

    If England wanted to win they'll have to beat Portugal, Brasil/Spain and probably Argentina in the finals... Sorry, but I don't think they have more than 5% chance to make it...
