AKU SUKA BACA ARTICLE NI... MATI2 AUSSIE X PUAS ATI DIAORG KALAH. HAHAHHAHAHHA!!!!
No time for a comeback in this game. Australia, which made the World Cup via a penalty-kick shootout against Uruguay, exited the tournament Monday at the painful end of a penalty decision in second-half injury time.
After Francesco Totti converted the kick in the 95th minute, the whistle blew for a 1-0 second-round win for Italy, ending the Socceroos' valiant World Cup run -- and their first participation in the tournament in 32 years.
"We should still be in this World Cup," said forward Tim Cahill.
"There's no words to describe how we feel at the moment," added midfielder Jason Culina. "Last-second penalty and it wasn't even a penalty."
Coach Guus Hiddink showed his class by walking over and shaking the hand of Spanish referee Luis Medina, who awarded the penalty.
Coincidentally, Medina was in charge of the Uruguay game that advance Australia into the tournament.
Then Hiddink consoled his players and led them to a corner of the stadium where the Australian fans were massed.
He said later the penalty was unwarranted, but took the high road. "We are very disappointed because we were so close, but I can be proud of the way they placed, " said Hiddink, who now leaves to take over the Russian national team.
"It's the way the world loves to see a team play." Back in the dressing room, his players watched replay after replay of the penalty decision.
Italy's Fabio Grosso beat Marco Bresciano in the corner and then sped into the penalty box, where he toppled over defender Lucas Neill, who had fallen already.
"It just looked like he dived over him. Didn't look like there was any contact," said defender Scott Chipperfield. Cahill was incensed, saying the Italian should have been yellow-carded for diving.
"I just can't believe it, mate," said Cahill.
"We play all our lives to be honest on the pitch and to work hard and I suppose these days you fall over on the pitch and get a penalty, free kick whatever. It's disappointing. "I'm furious. It's unbelievable. The luck we've had with refereeing decisions this World Cup, everything's been against us."
Forward John Aloisi tried to be diplomatic about the call. "I don't really want to say too much, because I have that referee in Spain," said the forward, who plays for Alaves. Neill did not speak to reporters. "Of course he's devastated," said goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer.
"But then obviously once he saw it on TV, he thought, 'Well hang on, there's nothing I could have done about it.' Because it wasn't a foul."
The Australians have had some legitimate complaints. Against Japan, Egyptian referee Essam Abd El Fattah apologized to Schwarzer during the game for not calling a foul on a play that resulted in a Japanese goal. The Australians rallied to win 3-1.
Harry Kewell went after German referee Markus Merk following the 2-0 Brazil loss, irate at his performance.
And in the 2-2 tie with Croatia, English referee Graham Poll gave a Croatian player three yellows before eventually sending him off. "They look after the big nations," Chipperfield said.
"They want the big nations through to the semis and finals. It's always the way." And he pointed to other refereeing controversies at the tournament.
"A lot of the games, everyone's talking about the referee, which shouldn't be the way. They should be talking about how good the game is. Not the refereeing. It's something that needs to be looked at."
But the Australian players also praised Italy for battling when down to 10 men and said the Socceroos had their chances. The Australians played without Kewell, who was on crutches with a bout of gout. "He's in a lot of pain. He can't walk," said Chipperfield.
Kewell started against Japan and Croatia, came off the bench against Brazil, but trained little in the days leading to the Italy game because of a lingering groin injury.
The Australians were comeback kings in the first round, rallying to beat Japan and tie Croatia in group play.
They did it the hard way, leading in only one match -- against Japan -- and that didn't happen until the 89th minute.
"We've done ourselves proud and I think the whole of Australia is proud of us," said Aloisi.
"And the world's taken notice that we're no mugs, that we can compete with anyone." |

It proved to be a G?ay for Italy in the end. But which Azzurri proved to be Wizards of Oz and who Drongos in the 1-0 win over Australia?
Gigi Buffon: 7.5 :tq:
FIFA? Man of the Match, Buffon was always alert and ready on the few occasions he was called upon. Clearly the best goalkeeper of Germany 2006 so far. Commanding.
Gianluca Zambrotta: 6.5
Another game of substance, but the lack of support he receives on the flank is hampering his impact. Let? hope the booking he picked up for dissent doesn? prove costly.
Fabio Cannavaro: 8 :tq:
Unbeatable yet again despite the considerable size difference between himself and Mark Viduka. He anticipated every ball, jumped higher than he should, a man mountain for Italy.
Marco Materazzi: 6
It was all going so well until his wrongful dismissal. Tactically aware, solid with his tackles, his passing was immense. Unfortunately his only mistake, and reputation, cost him dearly.
Fabio Grosso: 6.5
Left his best contribution till the end when he, perhaps cleverly, won his side the debatable penalty. Up until that point, Grosso was again struggling to make his presence felt.
Andrea Pirlo: 6
A shady performance from the playmaker whose passing was erratic at times. He needs to refind his touch from Italy? first two games.
Gennaro Gattuso: 7
Playing with 10 men is a lot simpler with Gattuso in your side. Another gutsy performance from the Milan man even if he should have done better with that over-hit cross to Del Piero.
Simone Perrotta: 6.5
Italy? marathon man in midfield, he clocked up some miles and tackles for the Azzurri. Also provided danger offensively at times with some intelligent runs.
Alessandro Del Piero: 5.5
Started brightly on the left, but his game basically ended with Italy? reduction to 10 men. Was rightly replaced in the second half, who knows if he?l get another chance?
Luca Toni: 5.5
Perhaps should have saved up some of his Serie A goals for the summer. Had three decent chances, but failed with all of them. Was replaced after Materazzi? red.
Alberto Gilardino: 6
Rather surprisingly taken off at half-time after another courageous effort. Held up the ball well with his back towards goal and almost rippled the net with a decent opportunity.
Vincenzo Iaquinta: 5
A wasted substitution [and call up?]. Just what Marcello Lippi sees in him remains to be seen. He lacks control, composure and did little to help his team when reduced to 10 men.
Andrea Barzagli: 6.5
Still relatively inexperienced, Barzagli was a credit for the way he handled himself in difficult circumstances. Did everything that was required of him with confidence and calmness.
Francesco Totti: 6.5
Made a limited impact after being thrown on by Lippi, but impressed for his mental strength at the death by smashing home the penalty. Thankfully opted to not chip his spot-kick?
Marcello Lippi: 6
Arguably made the right decision in starting Totti on the bench, but his plans went out of the window with the dismissal. The introduction of Iaquinta was suspect, yet he deserves praise for gambling on Totti as a sub when it would have been easy to pack the midfield and play for penalties. |

'Tactical masterstroke by Marcello Lippi'
26 June 2006
by FIFAworldcup.com
TSG analysis by Alvin CORNEAL (TRI)
Football was the big winner in a game that had all that is best about the world? favourite sport. It was a match of contrasting footballing philosophies that pitted the hard-running and hard-tackling Australians against the sophisticated and experienced Italians.
The Socceroos impressed with their collective play and enjoyed the advantage in several areas of the field, although they were never able to convert this into clear-cut scoring opportunities. They also had the lion? share of possession, especially after the sending-off of Marco Materazzi. For their part, the Azzurri demonstrated their traditional strengths. In addition to a highly organised defence, their individual technical skill again shone out.
The match began cautiously but soon burst into life. The ?ussies? were visibly superior, although the better scoring opportunities went to Marcello Lippi? side, with five clear-cut chances in the first half alone. Though Australia gave their all, it quickly became apparent that they lacked the individual technical proficiency of the Italians.
Following the red card, coach Lippi demonstrated that he is a master of his trade. He made decisive substitutions, changed his team? tactics and posed the Australians problems that they were unable to solve. His faultless strategy formed the basis for Italy? eventual victory.
A further crucial factor was the form of Italian goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon. The 28-year-old exuded remarkable composure, made no mistakes and nipped a number of potential Australian chances in the bud. That the Italian goal remained impregnable throughout was down in no small measure to the Juventus shot-stopper, and it was a logical decision to choose the 1.90m-keeper as the Budweiser Man of the Match.
Overall the Azzurri were deserved winners. Although at a numerical disadvantage they followed their tactical game to perfection and created the crucial breakthrough with the penalty award. In this nerve-wracking situation Francesco Totti kept his head and scored the winning goal.
Italy thus won through to the quarter-finals thanks to a masterful tactical performance by coach Lippi. But Australia can go home with their heads high. They had a great tournament and can be proud of both their performances in Germany and their terrific fans. |
