Reply to comment by thore4 in Italy make history with first ever win against Australia by paloaltissimo

A match dominated by Italy, and an absolutely moronically stupid tackle from Lucas Neil, yet every single one of us dumbasses believes it was a robbery.

Dogshit take.

Dominated by Italy? Wtf? Did actually you watch the game? Aus played a stellar game, strong movement up the the pitch and looked genuinely dangerous for most of the match.

It was a robbery. Bad tackle from Neil, but a blatant dive by Grosso. There were two distinct movements, him jumping over Neil, then dragging his back foot and deliberately falling over. Soft penalty if ever there was one.

That’s exactly it. They “looked dangerous”. They were never a true danger to Italy. You admit that they had the appearance of one but not quite.

It's a figure of speech, nimrod.

Ooft. They needed a dodgy last minute penalty to get past us, but Oz were 'never a true danger'. Seems legit lol.

What fucking conspiracy? If anyone thinks there's conspiracies it's the people who think this match was "RIGGED BY THE REFS CAUSE FIFA WANTED ITALY IN THE QUARTERS".

We can't as a nation admit that lucas fucking neil made a dumbass tackle that ALWAYS should have been a penalty. You cannot make those tackles inside the box.
