A cracker of a game

...but the wrong bloody team won.

That was a clear dive in the penalty box right at the last minute, an unfortunately successful attempt to force a result before being swept away by the Socceroos in extra time. Disgusting, cynical and unsportsmanlike.

Australia had the possession and were constantly on the attack in the second half; they had the fire and the style and given extra time would have swept the Azurri away.
