I don't know about Australia but New Zealand drew with Italy at a World Cup not too long ago. That's got to be massively embarrassing. In fact, New Zealand was unbeaten during the entire tournament.

Only drew because of a diving Daniele De Rossi as well. Should have beaten them.

A match dominated by Italy, and an absolutely moronically stupid tackle from Lucas Neil, yet every single one of us dumbasses believes it was a robbery.

Dogshit take.

Dominated by Italy? Wtf? Did actually you watch the game? Aus played a stellar game, strong movement up the the pitch and looked genuinely dangerous for most of the match.

It was a robbery. Bad tackle from Neil, but a blatant dive by Grosso. There were two distinct movements, him jumping over Neil, then dragging his back foot and deliberately falling over. Soft penalty if ever there was one.

That’s exactly it. They “looked dangerous”. They were never a true danger to Italy. You admit that they had the appearance of one but not quite.

It's a figure of speech, nimrod.

Ooft. They needed a dodgy last minute penalty to get past us, but Oz were 'never a true danger'. Seems legit lol.

What fucking conspiracy? If anyone thinks there's conspiracies it's the people who think this match was "RIGGED BY THE REFS CAUSE FIFA WANTED ITALY IN THE QUARTERS".

We can't as a nation admit that lucas fucking neil made a dumbass tackle that ALWAYS should have been a penalty. You cannot make those tackles inside the box.
