I don't want to debate that PK, but if you lay down in front of player, and he is trying to get around you, and he either trips himself around him, intentionially or not, is beside the point. Its a penalty. Its not up to Grosso to go around him. Grosso sold it, and it was a very good move.

I think you still dont understand my point, its not about the win or the loss its about the decision of the ref, clearly that a ref can give Italy a favour or 2 and so can Uefa/FIFA.

I understand fully, maybe you don't understand. That wasn't a favour as you say it is. That was a legit PK, no doubt about it. If you agree or not, that is your business.

Right, everyone has his own opinion. So lets end it as it is, cause I dont want to be misunderstood or misquoted that I'm against Italy and what they achieved.

The penalty was legit, but it shouldn't have been called.

In the Spain game, a player was mauled in the box and no call was giving.

Luca Toni was pulled down TWICE in less than a minute in the box near the end of the game and no call was giving.

The inconsistency of the refs is atrocious. Italy has been screwed once again by the refs this tournament and as well have other teams.

^^ Tell me about it.... refs have been horrible and things are going to get worse.

As for the game, Think positive guys.... Italy are still in it.

im going to jump in as well.

if you say the ref was genorous in the pk toward italy, what about matrix red card???whos generosity was that??a fucking rist tackle of the game made by him, not a dangerous one, and a straight red???so if u say we got one ok, and so did the aussies.

our pk was a legitimate one and thats no fluke about it.
