Soccerroos were robbed BUT

the italians deserved to win.

Haha....

I was watching the match in Kallang MacDonalds alongside Robin....he has been my world cup watching buddy for these past few weeks.....Going into the match I was expecting the australians to put up a decent fight.....and they did....But seriously, they really did not threaten the italian defence......throughout the match I told Robin that the italian defence is like a fortress and no one really had scored against them except for the unfortunate own goal.....bah......

when italy was down to 10 men, I was seriously thinking that it might end up in a penalty shootout cos Italy is not really known for their strikeforce and being down to 10 doesnt really help much in scoring.....I was sort of the lone supporter for Italy with a white shirt lady sitting in front cos apparently everyone was cheering when Materrazzi got sent off....buggers.....

then come 95 minutes....apparently it is 12 seconds before the final whistle according to New Paper.....you sure can trust them when it comes to soccer.....Italy was given a dubious penalty and Totti converted and I jumped and thrusted my fist up and shouted.....with my white shirt lady of course....lol....

Australians were robbed but they could not utilise the numerical advantage so....a pity........
Fabio Cannavaro and Gianluigi Buffon made sure of that.....so they are the italian heroes....not Totti...nor Grosso...haha..

anyway the following day we went to ECP macdonalds to watch Ghana vs Brazil and France vs Spain......quite enjoyable.......Pernia is the underrated spanish player....haha......and dennis tiong was soaking into the sm1B atmosphere with his nodding and twirling of head......hehe...
