....those cheating Latin f*cks dived their way to a World Cup.  Devastation and emptiness only matched by Iran in '97.

C*nts.

F**k that video pisses me off, so hard to watch.

Come on 2010.

Blame ourselves before blaming grosso. Stupid tackle by neill

No, no, I think I'll blame Grosso.  Neill went for the ball, Grosso cheated.

Simple.

(this still hurts too much to talk about rationally)

agree with paolo on this one

australia were naive and were punished as a result

bresciano should have fouled grosso on the sideline before he got to the box and neill should not have lunged to give away the foul

unfortunatly, watching a few epl games, this is not a good habit from neill

 

[serious14]

Pretty sure you weren't saying that at the time.

Grasso should be brought to Australia .. tied to a train at Gosford dragged to the Harbour Bridge (OK OK train will by pass central and go over the bridge it is a special occasion) .. The train to stop on the Harbour Bridge and Grasso to be thrown off the Bridge ... sounds fair to me...

when emotion was the over-riding factor back then

just looked at that video now and have no doubt it was a foul

If you are going to start blaming, you can blame Emerton(which we would never do because he is a champ)for being red carded v Croatia and missing the Italy game where he would of been on the right and handled the situation, which means you will have to blame the ref v Croatia, and the blame can be passed around like a smelly child or the attractive cousin at a newcastle family reunion.

 

[Gav...]

In my view from just watching that.

Neill was going in for a challenge looses his footing and slip over in front of Grosso. Grosso thinks about it smartly. Pushes the ball wide of neill and falls over neill who was on the ground.

Personally no penalty

I've no qualms doing that.

 

[FFC Mariner]

Lucas lunges in on an Italian footballer in the box in the dying minutes of a crucial wc game.

WTF did he think was gonna happpen?
