That was a nasty challenge, but probably not worthy of a red

Not anywhere near a red card IMO

Thank you ref.

Adesso può mettere Del Piero!

moggi made a call

what did you expect? playing with 11 man against 10.

Even so, when Italy's defending with 10 men in their own half, I really don't expect the USA to carve through the defence so easily.

Gattuso gives the ball away just like every other Italian player is today

What'd I tell ya? :eyebrows:

lippi should put grosso in and take zaccardo out, he hasnt been good, and i am not talking about owngoal. his defending has been bad

 

[gray]

See what I mean Steph? Even after USA's red they got a decent goalscoring opportunity.

Half-time. Bring on the 15 minute highlight reel

Lucky lucky lucky Italians. Lippi's so going to beat De Rossi up in the locker room. I'm sure Del Piero will hold him down for good old Marcello

Would you rather Italy's old Number 2?

 

[Seven]

I still can't believe De Rossi. WHY? He's one of the most important players, he's young, he's having the time of his life and then he does this? Is he doped up or something? This is just insane.

Bravo my boys.

that USA red was bullshit. he just owed them a red due to the earlier one, which WAS definitely a red. hard elbow or not, you cant hit someone in the face.

the reffing in this world cup is beyond atrocious, and that includes the times it's favored my teams

 

[Seven]

Bravo my boys.

Oh FFS. This could have been Saudi. America were screwing up big time if not for Italy's sense of self destruction. The way America began the game was just dumb and screaming for an Italy goal.

 

[Bjerknes]

I think Italy should consider banning Roma players from participating with the Azzurri, because this is three tournaments running when one of those scumbags screws you lot over. Just drop those Romans and you'll be fine.

Bravo my boys.

this tournament has seen a lot of red cards, and its only the second week

Agreed.

HOWEVER I believe that such a tackle, aimed at the ankles, should in fact be a red with several week suspension. The fact that IN REALITY that NEVER EVER is a red changes the perspective though. Predetermined red card, just like a lot have been in this WC.

De Rossi should be raped for all I care.

We were the better side in the first half and had more of the posession. That's all there is to it. The De Rossi red was deserved but the Mastroeni one was not.

75% of this board thought the score would be 3-0 Italy.

What pains me here is that De Rossi is actually a brilliant player. I don't understand why he's such a dick. He's one of Italy's hottest prospects and an absolute necessity for a good Italian team.

Anyone noticed Totti was moaning and complaining during the entire game as well?
