Round 16 and Beyond

[Tom Halsey]

Ridiculous decision (IMO).

 

[marc71178]

damn you Lippi why leave out Totti...

Is he not carrying a niggle?

 

[marc71178]

tad harsh?

Absolute shocker - bet we don't see the same outcry from Down Under that we did earlier in the Tournament though.

 

[Neil Pickup]

Bet we will for that one though!

I shouted 'penalty' the moment I saw it - yes, Grosso looked for it but it was stupid in the extreme for Lucas Neill to commit himself like that - he gave the Italian all the chance he needed to go to ground and nine times out of ten, they're given.

 

[GIMH]

With all due respect, how unbelievably funny

 

[andyc]

 

[steds]

Stupid penalty.

 

[superkingdave]

With all due respect, how unbelievably funny

indeed though somehow i'll restrain the smilies

 

[GIMH]

I went over to watch the second half in work

Asked someone "how are the criminals playing?"

He said, "which criminals?"

Me too. But it wasn't.

Mind, makes up for the red card (which was about 0.04 of a second away from being a fair tackle, nowhere near a professional foul...)

 

[aussie]

drama, what a cruel exit.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

That hurt more than the Mark Coyne try.

And the Mark Coyne try hurt.

 

[GIMH]

In summary:

England are in the last 8 of the World Cup, hold the Ashes and hold the Rugby World Cup
Australia are not in the last 8 of the World Cup, do not hold the Ashes and do not hold the Rugby World Cup

All in all, England stands proudly above your vast island

 

[Goughy]

Im imagining that this just happened to England and my stomach churned. Unlucky Aus, so many of us were cheering you on

Damn Spaniard Ref

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

It's a sad day when the English cheer an Italian victory. Enjoy your 'glory'

In summary

Australia are not in the last 8 of the World Cup, do not hold the Ashes and do not hold the Rugby World Cup

Awww I'll leave y'all alone now. Or I might start feeling sorry for yas.

too bad you wont last in the world cup, won't hold the ashes for much longer and certainly won't win the next rugby world cup.

ha, well at least Australia have the cricket world & can proudly acclaim to be the best cricket team in the world.

Could all be true. But at the minute, we are in the World Cup, do hold the Ashes and do hold the RWC. So there

 

[andyc]

I honestly don't know what to say. We had it, and then that just lost us it....

gloat all you want now, will only make it sweeter when all 3 of those things happen.
