Aussies robbed

Post by redman »

I am absolutely fuming as to how the Aussies lost to Italy........The cheating Italian player pretended to be tripped in the second minute of extra time being played

and the cheats got a penalty,it showed us three times in playbacks that the cheat had dived,they all ran to kiss him on the ground where he was pretending to be hurt

Its not often I stick up for the Aussies,but I like fair play and they were cheated out of the tournament.

All I can say is WELL DONE Australia you did your country proud,you don't only have to beat the opposition in this game but also the refs.

Yeah that sucked guys......as we say here in America....

That Sucked!

I enjoyed that entire game, and to see it end like that is just plain unfortunate.

You guys have my deepest sympathies, although I understand that this was far worse than the one we had called against us in Ghana......I mean a lot worse, but I still felt the disgust.......telepathically I could feel it.

I think this sort of acting in this game is not my favorite attribute associated with the game of soccer for what little time I have watched it. This acting doesnt appeal to me at all. The worst is when they do it to waste time off the clock.

If FIFA don't clamp down on it quickly it will ruin the sport.

We've seen gamesmanship before but never to the extent it's been apparent during this tournament and it's making a mockery of the game.

The Soccaroos should hold their heads up - there's no way they deserved to go out like that.
