ECR033 Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 What a bloody tragedy! The penalty was one of those 50/50 calls. I agree that more often than not, the ref would probably point to the spot, but it doesn't make it right. The Italian player clearly took a dive, Lucas Neill did make a clumsy challenge, but he didn't initiate the contact with the attacking player, therefore it should have been play on. Bit of a shame to go out like that, but they can hold their heads high - they played well and did everything but score against one of the better teams in the world Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/121950-go-the-socceroooossssssss/page/5/#findComment-2288189 Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedDrifter Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 The Italians didn't impress me much at all. Very sad they had to stoop so low to win. Fifa really need to sort out this sort of shit in football as its ruining the game. Ask me you take a dive and get caught "Red card" problem solved.

Yellow cards from the group stage aren't carried over to the 2nd round, therefore players will only be suspended if they pick up another card in a subsequent game during the knockout phase. I don't think Ukraine will be able to beat Italy, but they will meet their end against Germany or Argentina in the semi-final.
