IMHO i think australia didnt deserve to win.
They should have created many more chances other than the poor efforts we had from outside the box. And i feel we should have taken advantage of the extra man.
I feel the ref was pretty good. The red card was deserved, two feet lunged, late.. i would have too...
As for the penalty, as much as i hate to see the replay and knowing it wasnt a foul, the referee doesnt get a second chance to view it again and in slow motion.
I cringed when i saw the italian bloke falling over lucas neill.
But good on the boys for going so well. I was a proud feeling being a football fan in australia the way i saw it. I hope the game goes on to bigger and better things instead of the other codes that are played in victoria and the east coast of Australia.
im gonna get flamed to buggery
