NH: Italy vs France (spoiler)

My heritage is also Italian but I am embarrased to belong to the same race as the Italian Soccer team. The dirty tactics they employed throughout this series is something I am not proud of. Even at the very end, it took a despicable swipe at a frenchman in the hope of gaining a reaction that would red card him. Just another way to gain an advantage over your opponent.

As for an earlier thread regarding Soccer becoming stronger in Australia to the detriment of basketball, after this world cup series, I don't think that will happen. How many Australians lost interest in the World Cup after Australia's elimination? I know the newspapers didn't report as much after that. The soccer flavour lasted only while soccer fever was sweeping the world. As a non soccer follower but did support the Australians, I have seen just how corrupt the game is played.

SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE "shows just how good the aussies were - just losing 1 - 0 to Italy". The Aussies were even better than that when you consider how they lost. Its criminal to think how close they came. The Italians even said that Australia was the toughest team they played.
