Socceroos luck out - 0 - 1 against Italy
Another passionate effort from the Socceroos this morning. Australia, ranked 43rd in the world suffered a cruel exit after a questionable penalty was awarded to Italy (ranked 12th) within the dier moments of the match. Substitute Francesco Totti was awarded a penatly shot 15 seconds before the whistle after tripping on Australian defender Lucas Neill in the penalty area. You really had to really see it to understand the frustration felt by many Aussie’s today.
Anyway, congrats Italy, I’m sure many Australians are proud of this years sqad. It has been 32 years since Australia last made the Cup.
