The only thing that let us down was the strength behind our kicking game in the penalty box. When Italy were down there, they looked a bit more threatening.
This all changed in the last 15 or so minutes with Aloisi coming on. I would have loved to seen what we could have done in extra time!
Other than that. The referee should have consulted his linesmen before making a call like that.
Italy did well to hold Australia off from scoring. The only way the Italians could get anywhere near Schwartzer in the second half was the massive kicks their keeper got to the other end of the field.
Having said that, the Italians should be ashamed that they won off a dive. I dont think a lot of people will ever acknowledge that as a win to the Italians.
The stats say it all...Posession 60% Australia, 40% Italy...and it looked every part of it on the field.
Well done to the Boys, you've done us all proud and proved to all the so-called "elite" soccer nations out there that they can be out classed, out played and out performed by a country still quite new to the game.
