And by the way, anyone picking Italy are off their heads. Small to no chance. They were very jammy to win the last and their football has only gotten worse since then |
Funny, I'm sure last WC you would have said the same, and you know how that turned out....
|
Ah you mean they will get dodgy referring decisions because their home game was on its knees with scandal, which if was any other country would have been barred from the international game? No that's part of the reason i know they will not win the world cup.
|
Decisions? While they were benefitted against Australia by that penalty, something no one can deny, I can't recall any other "favour". There was not a single one in the final, that's for sure
|
I agree that the final was fair but as my memory serves they had more than one odd call in the games running up to it, quite a few in the Australia game not just the Pen. Although if not mistaken video evidence was used (although denied) for the sending off of Zidane. right decision, if found in the wrong way according to FIFA rules
|
No, the 4th official saw it and reported it, while that's not common, it's not unheard of.
And I seem to recall a VERY clear penalty against Germany that wasn't awarded for Italy, that would have qualified them for the final without the need for extra time
|
Ah yes the game where Italy dived, scratched and really were lucky to not have players sent off but i don't recall the pen that was not. Great game though as my memory serves. Shame we will not see Pirlo play like that again though, moments of genius. Im not saying they were a bad team, they had a lot of lucky brakes. Who will replace those great players? no one but those same players, 4 years older. Italy will not win it again and im willing to bet alot on that.
