World Cup Soccer: Italy vs Australia


Considering Australia is not a soccer-crazed country, they put up a major fight against Italy. Australians handled the ball skillfully and had the ball a majority of the time. When Italy got a red card (perhaps unfairly) and became only ten members, things looked pretty tough for Italy. But shooting machine and strategists that they are, Italy managed to get very close to the Australian goal in the final minutes and draw a foul and penalty shot. (Some said this penalty shot was unfairly awarded) Totti whacked it in the left corner of the goal for the one point of the game. Referee judgment can be a decisive factor in who wins or loses in soccer. But as a spectator I thought the Italians were pretty much storming the Aussie goal whereas the Australians rarely had a good shot at the Italian goal. I think the best team won. Experience is God.
