FIFA World Cup 2006 – Australia vs. Italy
Photo: Vince Caligiuri
Italy 1 Australia 0
Argh! We fucking lost! And to a penalty shot from a dubious foul no less! It was such a close game all the way till the end as well – I was hoping for a penalty shoot out at least. Shit!
Still, the crowd and atmosphere at The Deen was fantastic. Though there were some aggro at the end when a bunch from the crowd started throwing their empty bottles at the screen. And when we got out of the place, the cops were everywhere. They must have sensed trouble too – probably listened to the score on the radio.
Pics and vid when I’ve processed them later today.

How come that hottie Harry Kewell not playing one?
Spagetti is yummier =)
Hahhaa
Ohh, good thing we got away quick then when it ended (saw one police car just arriving).
We were at the Shed, because Rosie O’Grady’s only had a limit of 200, and the Dean had a line outside when we arrived(about 10.40).
The crowd at the Shed was good too, just a lot of f-words from people(including us!!), but as I said, we left quickly.
Some poor guy was half crying outside!
It was such a crap way to lose, it couldn’t have happened in a more crappy way!!
Simone: no kidding. What a way to go. Damn. Yes I did see a few guys being emotional too.
yeah what a kanina ending to a remarkable world cup run. if only it was dragged into extra time, aussie would’ve flogged ‘em before they can say mamamia. or so i choose to think anyway =).
furipu: yes I would like to think so too. Tiu. Heh.
it’s just seconds to be a draw game when the penalty was given for a “foul” that that italian player tried his luck on.
he got it and totti scored. it’s kinda cruel to lose this way!
Leonard: no kidding. Not that I expect us to beat the Italians but damn.
Sorry to tell you that I support Italy and totti rocks
