Italy were mistreated more than once on the big stage n u know it
It was about time a decision came Italy's way
I've met people who label Italy as cheats yet they never watched one match for Italy(n the match with the Aussies, ppl kept saying Grosso dived although 99% of them hadn't watched Matrix's red card, this is how much Italia is hated)
excuse me? why dont you try to read my post, i merely commented that it doesnt make it ok to dive if your player was unfairly sent off as that is a ludicious philisophy that will get you nowhere in life.
its about time a decision came our way?? what are you talking about?? italy aren't singled out for unfair treatment although i must admit the constant disallowing of our goals in japan/korea became a bit tedious after a while...
i for one dont label italy as cheats but i must admit that we like a bit of the old
'amature dramatics' and in grosso's case i dont label it as diving, simply as smart play, then again i dont class diving as cheating if your smart enough to get away with it. Grosso could just have easily squared the ball to gila or whoever was in the centre for an easy goal, but it was late and he was tired so he fell when he had contact, and rightly so because it was a mistake by the defender to commit to the challenge in the first place.
and your point in bold.... what difference does marco's red card make when discussing grosso's dive/penalty? and please get over your paranoia about italy being hated, only blatter hates us NOT all the referees
