Haha, best moment of the World Cup so far for mine.

Disagree. Adopted their usual cowardly formation of two solid banks of four but just aren't doing it very well.

Yeah, worst team to watch.
That's what's un-Italian about it. Normally executed to perfection.

Yes Italy are getting beaten at their own game really. Pretty funny. Dunno what the captain was doing not bothering to jump for the goal - if he tries to head the ball that's most of the time enough to stop the header going on target.

You must've posted this before De Rossi's totally untouched dive earned him a yellow!? In those sort of instances where it's so blatant it should be a red for being a ****ing idiot in my opinion.

And will be cheering for NZ tonight too, hope they start the World Cup off with a win.
EDIT: Or did it earn him a yellow? Said so on the news this morning, but not on the official World Cup website...

As per the other New Zealanders' comments, highly anticipating tonight's match. Vicelich starting alongside Elliot in central midfield, interesting call IMO as I thought Christie might've got the start. The remainder of the XI essential picks itself. On another note, paying $8.00 for the win at the TAB, and $4.10 for a draw - even though I know we're going to have a right battle on our hands that draw option looks attractive enough for a punt.

While not wishing to defend soccer as a sport in any way - that looked like a cramp not a dive.

Agree with SS reminds me of a similar reaction from a NZ half back in a rugby match a few years back. Hopped his way till he could dive over the try line after breaking away.
**** I wish I could remember who it was so I could watch it again. Marshall or Kellahar (sp?) All Blacks/Otago/Canterbury pretty sure. Anyone remember this?

Marshall, for the Crusaders (I think?). Did an Achilles or calf.
