    [WC] Italia vs Australia [26-06-2006]

    1. It wasn't a red card. Materazzi fouled Zambrotta. 2. It wasn't a penalty. Lucas Neill was on the ground and no longer involved in the game. Where Grosso could've easily jumped over the player, he chose to go down. For me, it was very much a 'compensation call' for the incorrect red card...
