World Cup 2006

Desially looks PISSED.

[King Ellis]

Did he just say Mataratzi dived?

Italy winning proves that "gamesmanship" wins it all, in the end. Fuck how good their football was at times, they are one of the worst teams at trying to con the referee...it's sad that it undermines their football, but it does.

Desially's a tit. How can you say Zidane didn't deserve to go?

[Buford Ripley]

Italy was the best team this Cup. I can't say they didn't deserve to win. And as for Australia getting a questionable penalty against them, I imagine Australia's reputation preceded them. Plus, as Matz said, Italy would've won that match in extra time -- even with 10 men, they looked better.

Forza Italia. Now all hell breaks loose domestically.

[ONO]

Oh well, I'm happy simply for a big tough Italian getting knocked out, Materazzi has obviously been watching the original rocky, rather than the sequel.

Barthez didn't look close on any of the penalties, he's too fucking small, a good keeper knows which way a player is going, the problem is getting there, Barthez's problem is he's a fucking fraggle.

Italy wasn't the best team in this World Cup, LITTLE DO WE FORGET TRINIDAD AND TOGOGHANA.

GATTUSO WASN'T WEARING ANY PANTS.

OH GOOD GOD.

In fairness its all down to the plastic ball.

I loved the penny floaters covered in padding.

Italy *runs*

Bollocks does Australia's reputation precede them. They play football like it should be played, hard and fast, not this bastardisation that FIFA has tried to introduce this World Cup where any contact gets a free kick and/or a card.

I think Italy would have won also, but the penalty was a disgrace, and they way the tournament has been governed (as a defender, admittedly) with regards to free-kicks/penalties/cards has been shoddy at best.

JohnnyPerfect would join us at this point but apparently his head is stuck in a doorway somewhere.

[therockbox]

"Protecting the skillful players" has turned into letting people cheat, I've got no problem with letting someone like Ronaldinho doing his little tricks but when that comes along with fucks diving every 10 seconds then balls to it.

Can't wait until the Premiership starts again, they can actually slide tackle.

[The Third Dukes]

How much do you want to bet the shot of the referees getting medals is misinterpreted by at least one conspirator?

And Liam, do you recall how Australia flat-out MUGGED Holland in a friendly? That's what I mean.
