Italian job! indeed!

What luck they have... played in their half for almost the whole of the second period! And injustice happens to the fighting spirit displayed by the australians, who i would say were inferior to the italians in skill and ability, but were far ahead of them in their zeal to win and willingness to work for that... Kudos to the socceroos, they have gone out, but not in shame... Grosso fell over, not exactly a dive, but he wasn't tripped either... fell too easily, and the combination of italian gamesmanship and spanish refereeing got the italians a penalty, when all of 5 seconds where left in the added time for the second half... cruel luck for the aussies..

The most boring of the prequarter finals followed the italy australia match.. Ukraine and switzerland played out a cagey affair, although it looked like switzerland were more adventurous and wanted to win it early... again, they also didnt lose badly, a penalty shootout is always a throw of the dice, and their inexperience and young age showed in the shootout...
