Now who should I cheer for Australia or Italy???What do you think of the Aussies? Im an Aussie born to Italian parents and have been forced to back the Italians as everyone at my work is constantly on the attack at me, but I will be happy either way - I think Italy has a chance but would be happy to see Aus go as far as poss...2BigStixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16996055582145319118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7938736.post-1150636959373164772006-06-18T06:22:00.000-07:002006-06-18T06:22:00.000-07:002bigstix,No argument from me as to the fact that t...2bigstix,<BR/><BR/>No argument from me as to the fact that the US was lucky to get a tie there. None at all. Very lucky. (But you're also leaving out the US goal that called back, which would have been counted good a decent percentage of the time, so it's not like all the breaks went the US' way.)<BR/><BR/>The officiating was terrible, though, from both the ref and linesmen. Sorry, it just was. Good refs/linesmans/umps are good because they let the play on the field or court decide it, and only interrupt the flow of the game when absolutely necessary. Poor refs/linesmen/umps interrupt play constantly, and, because of that interference sometimes dramatically affect the outcome of the game.<BR/><BR/>The US shouldn't have won and wasn't the better team but that doesn't change the fact that the officiating was piss poor.ScurvyDoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12475986616947247959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7938736.post-1150635140149746222006-06-18T05:52:00.000-07:002006-06-18T05:52:00.000-07:00Dude, seriously, the ref got every call right in t...Dude, seriously, the ref got every call right in that game - It's the linesmen who don't have a clue. Check out the replays - Italy's goal disallowed for offside WASNT and neither were another 4 or 5 offsides. Italy played pretty crap in the second half and USA were impressive but barring the own goal, you never looked like scoring and even with the own goal the result shouldve been 2-1. PS Donovan was fantastic 4 u guys....2BigStixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16996055582145319118noreply@blogger.com
