i do not think it deserved a red card though fifa ruling on double footed from the back is a straight red. we have seen worse and they were only awarded yellows... back to the point, aussies played well and gave their best, you would also have to give credit to italy for their defence... ask anyone here that plays soccer, is it easy to defend for 45mins?? but they defended well... as for the penalty, the ref is human... "recall the "hand of ***" " it was given, it is a spilt second decision... the fall made was professional though it has no sportsmanship. aus did great... now the focal point, who will be the next manager...
