Australians, of course

>>78081332
The idiot fullbody tackler. It's100% penalty.

>>78081332

Thank you for the World Cup b0is

>>78081454
How was this received in spaghettiland? not so much the penalty itself but the fact that's how you won?

>>78081525
Italians play to win, they don't care how.

>>78081540
>italians play to win
Not in 2010 and 2014

Our golden generation were fucking robbed

>>78081525
No one remembers it or cares about it

>>78081525
There are far more exciting things to remember Grosso about.

Felt so sad for the Aussies then.
Can't believe it's been 11 years desu

Its crazy to think how terrible we are now compared to unironically being a title contender a decade ago

>ignorant aussie

nothing new

>dont care about soccer
>nearly win the worldc up and only lose because of refball

how the h*ck are we so good?

Although Aussies piss me off, I was fuming when that happened..fucking cheating cunts. Went on to win too.

At least they got btfo next world cup. Finishing behind new Zealand in the group top kek

>>78082254

Sympathise with you Irebro after the Hand of Frog. Fuck continental Europe.

I know someone who was involved with Australia in the 2006 wc and he said everyone admitted it was Neill's fault. Also he talked to someone who was involved with Italy and they reckon that if it wasn't for this game, Italy wouldn't have won the WC. Almost losing to Australia woke them up and they went on to play well in the next 3 games.

>>78082227
It would have probably the biggest underdog story in the history of football, if not sport altogether.
Now we're stuck with a memeteam of UEFA rejects for the foreseeable future.

>>78082254
Karmic justice, weren't NZ the only undefeated team that year as well? Kiwi stronk

>>78082227
> We're stuck in the universe where most people care about insular sports that the rest of the world doesn't give a fuck about

We like to think we're a """sporting nation""" yet we dominate in sports that have at most 5 decent teams (League, Union, Cricket) and pretend that being the world champions of fucking Netball means something

>>78082269
They were yes. Any nothing will ever change that. True heros

>>78082271
Don't forget our autistic brand of handegg that literally no other country wants to play despite spending millions on chinks

>>78082271
Well soccer is the only sport that is really global and America is the best sporting nation and don't take it seriously either.

>>78082277
It's fucking embarrassing when big Yuropean teams tour here and they hand Ronaldo and AFL ball. Really shows how little north of the Murray give a fuck about AFL.

>>78082292
AFL is literally our biggest sport by every metric numbnuts.

Only QLD bogans and sydney lebs don't like it.

>>78081332
Shi*alian refball

>>78082271
>union
>dominate

>>78082303
It's popular in 3 states, QLD and NSW don't give a fuck about it

>>78081332

>>78081540
Eh, you gabachos call both Napoleon and Platini Italians when recalling their "dictators, tyranical assholes" traits and French when you are praising their strategic and football skills. You also called Eto'o French when he was doing good and Cameroonian when he was doing poorly, like that nig tennis player, he even compared himself in the treatment he received from you. You gave shit to the retarded autist of Zidane for caring more about Algeria than about France in some international matters. You also have a national team made up by niggers that were raised in ghettos in your city, but they are all "French" now that they are in your team and you can use them, included Greaseman. So get off your moral high horse, please
