My personal favorite moment of Germany sucking up to Italy was the aftermath of Italy vs. Australia at World Cup 2006. Australia played better and was a lot closer to scoring than Italy, but at the end of regulation the referee gifted Italy a penalty kick which won the game. Stefan Effenberg (former player of the German national team and expert for TV at the time) couldn't help himself but praise the Italian player for the dive because it was so smart, so deserving of admiration. |
lol, that was Grosso. The same player who went on and scored a wonderful goal against Germany that effectively ended the match
