Nick, i havent seen an Aussie dive once this world cup. There are some massive problems within the game of soccer and the biggest are these cats not being able to take a little bump. Did you not see the Italian running, the aussie had a swing at the ball, the itlaian looked over at the ref then jumped a good 3 seconds after the swing. There were replays shown and it was clear he dived, but still a freekick?
Im not being a sore loser, i said this after we tied with Croatia, the refs are pathetic, why would you call a penalty shot like that in the last 10 seconds?!? Its absolute crap! This game needs a video ref to over rule these pathetic decisions.
Also, to the fools here saying Italy had more of chance.. then why did Australia absolutely DOMINATE that game, Aus had 60% of the damn possesion. Im still cut about this decision i think its absolute BS!
