3) I wasn't the one throwing insults ("go back and play with your nintendo?"), that was you. Nothing I said was personal because I have nothing personal to say to you that's negative mate. This is about a football team that has got further than they should have in just about every world cup since 1990 through diving, and it feels good to see them lose out this time.
4) Do you want to see the deRossi dive again just to see what I mean Chris...?

Actually I'm not upset in the least. I just love the Italy hate threads; they're all good fun as are all soccer threads (still waiting for someone to jump on me for calling it that
).
And no, I didn't throw the nintendo comment, that was MOxxx, not me.
The fact that deRossi and others get away with it is the fault of FIFA. More eyes need to have command on the field, hence the NHL moving to two refs. Things over the years have changed, and thus the league needs to change in officiating. Get more eyes that can make proper calls and not all the blind views refs have from 1/4 field away guessing what they think they saw.
