The next world cup ought to played at Cabramatta... then we wouldn't need overseas tourists to support a country!!!!

Anyhow that was the worst way to finish, poor Lucas Neil!!

The clear difference was Harry

NO way, hes done nothing all world cup except score from an off side position

He should be leading the golden boot with the chances hes had

What a robbery, someone call the cops FFS...

60% pos, total domination in that 2nd half, THEN the Itals make a break and get awarded a penalty kick. What a fuggen joke of a game...

 

[King of the Hill]

just saw the highlights of the penalty

what a disgrace

 

[mr_sharks]

Such an unfortunate way to end an inspiring campaign. The penalty decision really does leave one helluva bitter taste in your mouth.

All the years of toil and good work that Guus, John ONeill, Les Murray, Johnny Warren et al have done to bring soccer to prominence in this country has all been categorically undone by one shocking refereeing decision. Bad luck boys, but you will never be no1.

I was an unashamed bandwagon jumper and am furious today. All I could think was "Cant wait fot the next sharks game, so I get rid of this feeling.

Incorrect..

He has done heaps..

But your comment about scoring is correct..He has not done sh*te..
Open shot against brazil.
Croatian Volly. Two big examples.

Australia do not have one world class finisher.

The ref had no other choice.. Neil was in the way..he still took the player out.
Its not jsut the guys with the ball that can make it look like an accident. lol

 

[Sutho_Sharks]

It was an incorrect decision. Personally I thought their should have been a foul... against the Italian for diving! But in anycase, Neil couldnt have been done for tackling him because he didnt do that, the ONLY foul it could have been is obstruction/impediment. However, go to the fifa site and you will find that this is an indirect penalty, even when in the box... so he penalised him for the tackle :x

sorry my brief comment leaves it open for interpretation.

Harry has done so much for Australia, his attacking flair was what was missed last night. In term of finishing yes he has done sh*t all!

The Australians last night did nothing to test Buffon apart from the standard. Italy was one man down and being dominated yet the aussies continued to push around stupid little passes instead of attacking full throttle. Their play was a little to structured. They lack attacking flair and thats the difference without Harry.

Harry has had problems with gout before i remember chatting to his parents about it. Its unfortunate but lets not forget the dodgy red card the italian got and the Breciano 'roll' if you want to talk about theatrics.

Its all over now, a round of applause for the socceroos, im proud but now lets get RL back on the front pages of sport section in the newspapers!

I think bringing on Kennedy and Co would have helped as well... but Guus was obviously waiting till extra time. Fatal mistake IMO.

Well yes Aloisi came on too late and Kennedy, well i was waiting patiently...

 

[!fullback!]

will not watch another soccer game. it really is a twinkies game. a guy falls over and wins the match for his team. what a f**kin joke

 

[White Poiner]

Watch table tennis.. that's a mens game.

 

[Macca]

Apalling decision, yes. The Aussies had their chances and blew it though. Still it should have been decided in a better way than that!

Could be worse Switzerland got knocked out the same night and they didn't have a goal scored against them in the whole tournament!

Just think of that, we would be playing the Ukraine in a World Cup Q/F.

How funny would it have been for us to make the Semis!! f**k we are good at sport. This guy doesn't make the way we got kicked out any better.

A semi vs Argentina or Germany. Would have been a chance too. Bugger it, it's over, I can go back to just being a Liverpool fan again.

The great Italian left back! He succeeded in the glorious traditions of Italy!

Grosso represents the long history and traditions of Italian soccer

Indeed...
