We were simply robbed.... to favour the big teams....

arrrggghhhhhh... feel like killing someone now... no point guessing who....

watched the game with almost 10,000 other fans (half of them italians, confused aussie-italians) in the middle of the night to see this crap ????

NOT HAPPY

A $$holes

sorry for my language tonight..but its very hard to control.....

Sydney, regardless what the mods have to say about your post, I agree whole heartedly. I infact I could never agree with anyone in this forum that much.

I hope al-qaeda kidnaps that ref and beheads him and put it up in a website. I will gladly make a website out of my own pocket and put up the video myself.

This was the worst judgement by a referee at 93rd minute of the game.

I was predicting an Italy win but never in this way. Aussies have every right to feel, they are robbed and cheated.

i may be wrong, but anyway i m not a italian supporter at all. but for this match i supported them cause i m tired of the aussies being so good at everything like cricket.

I understand your frustration but c'mon man, thats really awful.

I rather thought the red of card of Matorazzi was a little too harsh, yellow card would be fine itself, Aussies must be proud that they made it so far instead of complaining, and that in a bosti manner ...

Let me tell you something, after coming this far and playing so good, we dont accept second best, especially to a team that cheated. No matter how good that team is.

All you see is the Matorazzi foul

And be proud of what?? getting kicked out in such a disgraceful manner??

proud my a$$...

This just shows that FIFA world cup has no integrity. Its like playing Russian Roulette. If you are lucky, you will live, else you are finished.

allrounder · #**631** June 26, 2006, 01:14 PM

why would the referee make such a call on the last second of a match? A handball in the penalty box was not given to the Auss, that would have helped Auss goahead in the match, but sad to see Aus could not take the advantage of 1 extra player. But hardly saw any team getting any advantage with 1 extra player.

Italy was getting the better part of the match and missing a lot of chances.

Even without the penalty, Italy seemed to be the winner of the match. Aus was counting on luck only to be the winner, seems like luck was not on their side. Referee gave 1 extra player advantage to them but on the other hand, handed out a red card from the tournament too.

dude if you only knew all those who fell like hell after playing against the aus in the cricket (

) and still they do not complain like this and you are just trying to prove the aussies are not well mannered people, I think aussies in general are not like this anyway, good game keep encouraging your team ... ( to play more of the good games and try to do less harsh tackles ).

The aussies did play really well after being so long denied by Uruguay

Rabz · #**633** June 26, 2006, 01:35 PM

i dont mind loosing to a team..to a better team...
the game is played on the day.. and the better team on that day should win the game.. irrespective of the jersery they were and the country they represent...

Aussies were simply robbed...
they might not played thier best..but nonetheless, they DID NOT play any worse than the italians.. if it was a fair goal, i would be only dissapointed with the loss, but now im furious..

its 4.30 in the morning..n i cant bl**dy sleep..im so pi$$ed off...

no one knows what could hv happened if it went to extra time...(which it should hv bn).. but that felt like being held on a gun point to be robbed by some bully in the middle of the broad day light.. while every one looked by but didnt do anything...

Rabz · #**634** June 26, 2006, 01:42 PM

i bet after last world cup.. when teams like korea n turkey went all the way to the semis, fifa made decisions to make sure that the big teams goes to the quarters n semis so that they can retain the prestige of the cup..

also a european team would always be favoured over an Asian or ocenian or african team..wudnt they ??

why do u think Switzerland is in even in the world cup at the first place...let alone being in the second round...
ring any bell ??
seff blater, fifa president is swiss .....
duh......

why u reckon the bl**dy Saudis got an easy round..which off course they still made a mess of...
Why you reckon Ivory Coast was in such a difficult stage..when they thoroughly deserved to go the next round...
untill n unless they really fu**ed it up.. England had always had a easy passage.. atleast to the quarters... why ?? cuz england has got the pulling power...

all these groupings and settings... which are shown being drawn fm a bawl.. is just rubbish..they are all made up.. we , mere mortals, like every other things, are made to believe that they are fair n transparent.. when actually they are not..

damn.....im so pissed......

but before they took out the gun, the bully gave you enough time to run away and you couldn't do that, thinking you still get more 30 minutes time to run away. The setting of the Aus team was not attacking, they only had 1 forward player I think, playing (3-6-1) format.

abdulw11 · #**636** June 26, 2006, 01:51 PM

When I first saw the "foul" for the penalty, I thought it was not a foul at all.

Now, having looked at a slow motion replay, I am convinced it wasn't a foul. Grosso made contact with Lucas Neill, not the other way round.

Banglatiger84 · #**637** June 26, 2006, 01:52 PM

As usual all the Aussie supporters are conveniently ignoring the fact that Materazzi did not deserve a red card, which gave Australia domination for whoel 2nd half.

If referee wanted to help Italy, he wouldnt have sent Materazzi off.

Such selective amnesia wont win you any neutrals.

Everyone saw the referee messed up, but dont ignore decisions which went your way as well.

sadi · #**638** June 26, 2006, 01:54 PM

I guess it was a bad decision from the referee's part but that doesn't mean Fifa is handling everything.... its okay to be frustated but don't start seeing things that doesn't really exist

abdulw11 · #**639** June 26, 2006, 01:56 PM

All this talk about Australia and Italy, no one seems to care that Switzerland and Ukraine are about to kick off. Anyway, I think these two teams are just making up the numbers, none of them will make it past the quarter final stage.

Maybe the referee should have also waited to see it over and over to make the decision, and then continue the match now. he needed to make a decision right then and there, we definitely need technology to help the referee make decisions. that would not hurt the proceedings of a match but only the tempo. need to find a balance in using the technology to make decisions. especially off sides can be eliminated easily with use of technology and without affecting anything at all. we can take issues one at a time. also like writing player's number while giving card, one player was given 3 cards and still playing hahaha

allrounder · #**641** June 26, 2006, 02:02 PM

Swiss and Ukraine is a gift ticket for Italy to go to the semis. Only thing going for Swiss is that that is the only team who did not concede a goal so far in this world cup - why???, they have not met any good team yet?.

sabbir ahmad · #**642** June 26, 2006, 02:10 PM

chor FIFA,chor Referee,chor Italy...........shame shame shame

ialbd · #**643** June 26, 2006, 02:33 PM

I heard the referees in this WC have options to get an off-field decision (like 3rd umpire) & the referees wear a microphone or sth like that. Is that implemented yet?if not then why is the mic for?

This sort of refereeing (Italy-Aus game) is simply unacceptable. Referees shud get the instant replays & all, refereeing is getting worse with time.....

In some other Football Forum I came across comments like,
'These wrong decisions are part of the game, you have to live with that...'
This is the most disgusting part of football now, this needs to be changed.

P.S: I am not an Aussie fan, just saying in general

Too bad for Aussies, they had their chances but failed to break a 10 man Italy who defended magnificently. The penalty was rather cruel but so was that red card. The defender shouldnt have gone down like that. How ironic Italy were denied a perfect goal in the last WC.

How dare you say that? You are allowed only to complain about decisions against Australia

Forget the red card , Australia was robbed because FIFA didnt want them to be in the quarter finals. The red card was fully deserved because it was a serious foul. Italy are perennial cheaters and if it wasnt for the referee, Australia would have won 4-0

Xavier · #**646** June 26, 2006, 04:08 PM

Lol... you all love Italy!
Undeserved win for the "azzurri", the penalty was not, but also the red card for Materazzi. Australia lost a great chance by predictable attacking italian defense... it's not working when you play against Buffon, Cannavaro, Zambrotta.

btw i would like an outsider to win the cup (Ukraina, Ghana) but this is not going to happen... I guess in the end winners could be host-country Germany, not a great side but very solid, as usual.

cricman · #**647** June 26, 2006, 04:11 PM

This ref is so scared to call fouls and yellows! 0 Cards in 100+ minutes looks like PK shootout

That means Argentina can't play Semis? Hehehe! I don't like Argentina either but Messi is just a show stopper. Want to see some more magic from his foot.

babubangla · #**649** June 26, 2006, 04:41 PM

The Swiss was committed not to score!!

Not a single goal even in Penalty Shot out!!

At the end, Swiss out of WC without conceeding a goal in play!!!

Mr-Cricket · #**650** June 26, 2006, 05:46 PM

Most of you will never fully grasp what the supporters in this country have been through to ultimately reach this position in this World Cup. After leading by 2-0 against Iran, Australia's World Cup dreams were left in tatters after Iran scored twice in the last 10 minutes to sneak a 2-2 draw to ultimately progess through to France 1998. Four years later, Australia failed to qualify for Korea/Japan 2002 after leading 1-0 following the home leg in Australia - this time at Uruguay's hands. Just 3 years ago, the game, in Australia, was a shambles. Our own Government was forced to set up an enquiry in order investigate alleged mismanagement and corruption in the governing body and ultimately rectify the near-bankrupt state of the local game. But with the demise of Soccer Australia, and the inauguration of the Football Federation of Australia, in a AFL/Rugby/Cricket mad nation, a new sport, Football, has captured the hearts and minds of a whole nation. And all in the space of the past 6 months. I'll leave it at that. 'You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make him drink.'

But I do understand that some of you will never be pro-Australian.

And as such, I won't take any of your comments personally.
