[studioDIM]

rooooling of laughter!

Hey, didn't Guus Hiddink say he KNEW ITALY VERY WELL?
At least you'll admit he overlooked a VERY obvious trait of our team

Oh well, at the americans didnt make it thru!

[studioDIM]

I still can't get over Australias belief... they actually thought they would beat ITALY!!! And they very nearly did - un-bloody-believable!!

[jacksc02]

come on peter! have some faith. They have done better than the All Whites. When was the last time they were in the world cup? oh hang on 1982!!

[mcphep]

seriously, they're playing ITALY!! Most teams would walk out beaten. Now the Aussies have been robbed of victory!! Awesome stuff. This is why I love football

[jacksc02]

of course the aussies have been robbed of victory!
just ask lele what he thinks about the penalty! go on lele tell them all about the "Dive"

[studioDIM]

Indeed!

The coach is a GREAT one, and most aussie players play in europe.
So much so that Hiddink met the player for the first time in holland, as it was closer for everyone.
Globalised football.

Well i said it, didn't i?
Touch an experienced attacker in the PENALTY area, guess what happens.
In any case, the contact was there, the attacker lost balance, he was tired, he fell.
It's all good experience, and it really seems aussies (the i and s are from Italians) took it good naturedly.
Newzealanders seem to be the bitterest of the lot, apparently

dont knock the kiwis bro! we will come stock you for you shoes!

[mcphep]

all we have to get excited about is rugby and netball. How many people play that?!?!!

And I thought it was an experienced defender that took the dive

[mcphep]

Chris, i am impressed that someone realised Australia and New Zealand are different places

[DaForce]

I say we did rather well, given we havnt been on any world soccer games in 32 years
And our lack of soccer heritage.

Actually im kinda suprised the italian team showed up.. what with their comfy couches and plentyfull supply of weed
