we(the aussies that is)played well...very proud of the way we play unlike the typical boring defensive game the italians display and are renowned for..

i dont think italy will win the cup, given that they cant even put away a mediocre team like us convincingly, and i hope they get owned by a real super team of the world.

italy didn't beat us, the ref did... :ermm: ah well, that's all part of it i guess.

(oh while i'm on my anti-ref-rant and that red card was crap too!)

Well done Socceroos, well done.

We did well against a Monster Football team and we were still standing strong if it wasn't those stupid REFs but you can't blame them, they've got to suck up to those big Football country as they will have more chances to get invite over for more games. Not to consider the MAFIA will kill them if they don't LOL, j/k.

We've lost but we left a strong mesage to those teams, to those that once thought we weren't going to make it to the second round, that is the next time Australia come back, Australia will kick ass.

oh...here we go

forza azzuri.

well played australia to make it that far.

italy played with 10 men for the second half, and australia failed to take advantage. thats soccer.

the commentator said "australia deserved to go through to the final 8, but instead it's italy"

sorry, but they didnt deserve to go through. if you win, you go through and thats that. its like saying qualifying for the world cup means they deserve to win it.

i expect to be flamed, but bring it on.

like i said, if that was italy Vs X team, i would be going spastic right now, but ive stayed calm because i was a lot more in the middle than if it was any other team....but at the end of the day, italy won, and they deserve to go through.

if australia had gotten a penalty at the end like that, the fans would be going spastic, and not a word about the referee would be said.

it might hurt, but thats how it is.

Forza Azzuri!

Theres no way you can agree that was a penalty, that should of been a red card to the italian knob that dived. The penalty should of gone to australia when italy handballed it in the penalty box, if they didn't handball it, it was going straight in the back of the net via vidukas feet.

I have some footage of Italy training before the match, check it out!

Typical is it? Hand ball in the penalty box. That is not football, specially for a PROFESSIONAL TEAM, what a joke.

should we be expecting another apology from another useless ref perhaps???

italy go thru to next game with a dodgy fall and a dodgy call from a dodgy ref and meanwhile four dodgy teams in seriea get investigated for match fixing...

meh...

Every Game Australia Played not only was the opposition against us but the Ref

Japan 1 Goal Allowed after Japan took out the Keeper (Aus won)

Brazil couldn't get within 1/2 a meter without a foul being called, ref joking and muking around with Brazil and telling Kewell that his World cup has ended (Aus Lost)

Crotia 2 obvious penalties not called, Vaduka tackled and an Handball (Aus Drew)

Italy Handball no penalty! Italian falls and acts gets a Penalty!

What crap score line should really be Aus 1- Italy 0

It shows not only where Australia shafted for the past 10 years with world cup qualifying but also we get shafted through the world cup. FIFA can stick it up their ASS because we got further than they wanted us to go. :)

lol!

I third that

Matterzai was given straight read for something that was a yellow. That brought Italy down to 10men at the start of the second half, they had to take off Luca Toni (there best striker and who had already tested the aussie goals 3-4times and was only a matter of time before he was going to put it in the back of the net) to bring on a defender and fill the void, they then played defensive for a good 25min where australia got no where near there goals, they were to busy fckin around in the midfield and down back. Italy saw the chance so they brought on Iquinta and Totti and went attack again and thus creating a goal. There was clearly a skill difference between the two sides, i admit australia played very well and are a good team but, they had nothing on the in close and long balls the italian team was puttting in. Austrlia had 59% to 41% of the ball in the 2nd half and 1 extra player and still didnt score.

I for one am not that dissapointed Australia lost.

I am however dissapointed that we lost to a bunch of limp wristed panty waisted bunch of masculinity challenged boys of questionable manlyhood, and even more questionable sexuality.

Seriously, Soccer is a fast game, and contact happens. It's like basketball in that way, it's not a contact sport, but put enough men in a small area, all moving at speed, and bodies will bump.

You can ride the bump (like the Australians did) or you can got o water as soon as anyone touches (or comes close enough to touch) you.

It's depressing to see that the top athletes from a country so well represented in Australia's multicultural society act this way. It's further depressing to see Australia labelled 'thugs' because people are falling down all around us. (That's not a shot at Italians, or Italian Australians either, you guys are men, no doubt. But this team does not represent that)

Sadly, this will also add to the bogan element once again flying off the band wagon and labelling it a 'girls sport' because of all the agony a player seems to be in from minimal contact. I've seen netball players take a bump better.

Even worse, AFL is getting a lot of this element into it. IF AFL ever rivals what I saw last night, I'll burn down the AFL HQ.

After all that crap though, Australia should have been able to score with a 1 man advantage for 40 minutes, but hell, relaistically, we're not that great, and we went further than expected.

And I'm spent.

Go Brazil.

I for one am not that dissapointed Australia lost.

LMAO!

I remembered watching Italy played against Chile a while ago, they got so desparated that they deliverately kick the ball into one of the defender hand. Everyone else somehow knew that's what Italy was going to do, they hide their hands behind their back but this poor defender forgot to do it so Italy got a SET UP penalty and won.

Everything was caught on camera just like what happened to Australia. Faked their fall, how desperate.

A team that call themself one of football greatest nations and only WON 1 GOAL to a young, newly formed team from the land of down under OVER A FAKE FALL!

Talk about can't win 10 of their men while we had 11?

Regardless they've won, congratulation. We'll see you again in 2010 in Sth Africa, watch out :happy:.

Also if there were an AFL Football world cup, we'd have been a continuous defending champion lol.

I am however dissapointed that we lost to a bunch of limp wristed panty waisted bunch of masculinity challenged boys of questionable manlyhood, and even more questionable sexuality.

I'll post up pics of the italian players' girlfriends and wives if you put up one of your partner :(

Lets all resort to childish name calling... :happy:

I see A LOT of people calling Italy out as the only nation that dives....if you're going to target the top teams, cast your thoughts back to 2002 korea/japan...or did you not see the ball hit rivaldo in the thighs, as he went down holding his face like he had just received a hook from mike tyson

its getting reeaaaaaall sad now...but keep it all coming...its highly amusing.

Guest IH8VEE8S

sheeesh this still going?

people at the end of the day, italy won. just accept that and get over it already.

i noticed some are talking about italian players' sexuality? lol has anyone seen Totti's girlfriend?

italian hottness at its absolute best :happy:

as for diving and all, that's football, it's a tactic used by ALL teams not just italy. please guys be a bit just a bit more open minded about the game

Edited by IH8VEE8S

how about some understanding here...

last second a dive and a dodgy call and italy go thru...i am not saying we would have won for sure if it went to extra time but italy with their tired legs and 10 men would have had less chance to win in the next 30 mins. in my opinion!!

we are all upset and emotional by the WAY we lost...and we will whinge as much as we want, if it was the other way around i am sure italians would also do the same...

    • Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that 
    • Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

If you would like to attend or bring others along please put your name down and a +1 as numbers will be needed prior! This is NOT a race and we will all be adhering to all road rules. If this is what you want please come to one of our many track days. This is an official SAU:NSW event and will be run under a CAMS permit. One of the things that really sets our club apart is our commitment to being true enthusiasts. When on normal roads we strive to maintain good relations with the authorities as well as the public in general.

    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
    • While I was waiting for the new parts to come in for the charge pipe and radiator I decided to do some turbo modification. The drive pressure (exhaust backpressure) was a lot higher that I thought it should be. For 32lbs of boost drive was 55lbs. The turbine housing is a 1.10AR and my turbo builder has suggested to go to a 1.25AR. To test if a larger AR would do anything to reduce drive pressure AND not spend any money I decided to hog out the divider in my current housing. I removed it from the inlet and the whole way through the housing.  After reassembly and testing it doesn't look like this modification did anything for reducing drive pressure or requiring more fuel (making more power). Oh well, it was worth a shot. We'll get some data at the track if it makes it past the 60ft. I also machined a $7 shift knob off Amazon to fit my Stillway shifter since I didn't like the Stillway shift knob. Next on the list was the radiator replacement and fabrication of a new intercooler tube that had no silicon coupler. No pictures of this - I was short on time each night after work to get this done and didn't stop to take pictures.  Next was to get the clutch disks out and replaced. Previously when installing the dogbox I had ordered a set of the same sintered iron disks I had been running because I switched to the 26-spline input shaft. I thought it was odd that they didn't have any markings or brand name on them like all my old disks had but installed them anyway. At the track I could not get the clutch to lock up using my normal strategies. After two track nights I reached out to the clutch manufacturer and ask their thoughts. They said they had to switch the material out because they were having trouble getting the original material and that this new material would not take to being slipped very well.  So out with the first set of 26-spline disks and in with the correct material 26-spline disks. While I had the trans out I added an inspection/service hole. I've wanted one of these for a while. Now I can have a look at things and change the front cover shimming when needed (clutch wear). I hustled and got the clutch change done in a few hours on a Saturday. Hopped in the car and drove home. On the way home I did a 1-3 pull. When shifting from 2nd to 3rd the core plug in the back of the cylinder head popped out and dumped all the coolant. Thankfully I was only 30 seconds from home and coasted it there. Datalog showed nothing unusual and 2.5psi of coolant pressure. That plug has been in there since 1992 but I guess it worked its way out. Pulled the trans AGAIN and replaced the plug, JB welded it in, and made a brace. Also deleted the head drain I had added in during the bearing issue fiasco.  I am currently changing my boost control plumbing to make it cleaner. After that is done I'll make another attempt at getting past the 60.
