Absolutely robbed..... no way in the world that was a penalty.The aussie guy was on the ground,didnt raise his arms or legs and the italian guy fell over the top of him.

The refs in this tournament have been pathetic.The ref was 5 feet away from the tackle and he couldnt see it for what it was... unbelievable.

Agreed, Rick. That was a terrible end to a superbly fought contest. The Aussie goalkeeper did bring off at least THREE stupendous saves and I was getting all ready to watch some EXTRA TIME action and then....the tragic anti-climax.
Some of these refrees themselves need to be shown RED cards!! PERMANENTLY!!!

Here here !!!! Was out watching it in the city,i too was getting ready for extra time and then........ well you know the rest.Aussies would have had a great shot at it if it went into extra time because the italians had 1 man down.The aussies lacked a bit of fire power upfront and no game breaker.
O well they did very well to get to that stage and showed plenty of guts and aussie determination.
