Italy v Australia

Anybody who does this...

doesnt deserve to win

Look, he gets his leg down perfectly, and the other one clears the defender, then he throws them in the air to play hurt. That's equal to cheating, just like you Italians do in Serie-A, last night was not a victory for you, it was another disgrace that Italy have chalked up for world football.

He took the advantage of a mistake, situation and moment at the right time.

So cheating at the right moment is okay?

Oh please... cheating... if you really want to look for "cheating", "diving" or whatever you want to call it, look at the performance of Figo in the Portugal-Netherland game 2 days ago! As for Grosso, the italian player that went down, he had already jumped a defender before, kept the ball, avoided the tackle of the other defender (the one on the ground) and, while jumping the guy on the floor, he tipped over. It was a soft fault if you wish but still the defender basically made obstruction and Grosso took advantage of it. In the end your guys played for 45 minutes in a completely unjust numerical superiority (Materazzi did not deserve a red card, so don't start complaining about the ref), did absolutely nothing for the rest of the game, and here you are complaining about cheats, about the ref??? Learn to play soccer instead!

In a different category, can we say "it was the hand of god" :rotfl:, Mexico 1986, Argentina vs England.

It will be great to watch when Italy lose, I absolutely cannot wait to see those tears of pain and despair. And I hope they lose in the most heartbreaking and unjust way possible, nobody would deserve it more.
