We were robbed!

Australia V. Italy - Worldcup 2006.

Those Italian soccer (football) players obviously take acting lessons.

I have never seen such a blatant deliberate tumble - and I don't believe the ref fell for it. I know that when the ref replays the game he is going to be embarrassed as hell for letting the weaker side get away with play acting so they can win.

The Socceroos (Australians) outplayed the Italians the whole game - then to have some over actor steal - thats what it was - steal a goal that way was wrong. I wouldn't mind losing to the Italians if we were in golden goal time - but to lose from cheating really bites.

Well done the Socceroos - they played a great game, I am confident they could have scored in golden goal time because the pressure they had on for the second half was intense.

My only consolation is that the Italians in their current form won't get into the final 2 - but playing the Ukraine, they have a good shot at getting to the semi's.

C'est la vie - thats world cup for you!
