@MetalRain
I'm not trying to take away anything but from an Unbiased fan of football (whose Chilean squad never qualified), Italy did not look deserving of the title. Their defense carried them through their only two real matches (against Germany and France) and their offense looked pathetic. The Aussies displayed wonderful ball control against a squad that focused on defense and you can bet with a man down thats what they were playing. The heart the socceroos showed was evident and you just didn't see that emotion from the drama-diving italians. Even the U.S. looked good when matched up with the Italians despite playing 9 men to 10.
BTW what's with this "we" BS.... are you on the roster? Heart and Balls? I did not see heart from that squad (except for Gatuso). That victory against Germany wasn't all that spectacular, it was a great match but certainly not a great victory.
