ORIGINAL: Marc Schwanebeck Dont' bother, Croatians are know for their twisted way of thinking. Tricking is actually the favord way to sucess for them . I´m damn sure there was put a fortune on a 1:0 for Italy by their sports bet mafia Go Australia, down with the Italian sissies. I usually root for Italy and/or England no matter who they play with, unless they play with my little miniscule ridicolous Croatia (that is still my country no matter how I slice it). Why? Well because those two countries take this damn stupid sport that is football - seriously! Both English and Italians are dead serious about their football (English in their cool English way, Italians in their latin flair theatrical, hand-waving, god-praying way) which I respect, or at least have fun with. So I rooted for Italians yesterday and it was fair and honest win as far as rules of this stupid game go. Lets face it - Australians did jack sh*t for the whole game, even when Italian dude was (undeservedly) sent off. Why should they win?? Because they are n00bs and Italians are veterans of the game? Sorry it does not work that way. You all have to realize, that football is stupid, and unfair, most unfair, most dishonest, most un-sportsmanlike of all sports I can think of. This "sport" is all about scoring ONE damn goal in billion minutes of playtime, then acting, rolling on the ground in pain, buying time, acting like damn wanker etc etc. Football rules actually AWARD the side that knows how to act, pretend, roll on the grass in "pain" etc. - in other words: CHEAT. Diving, pretending and acting like wanker are - as things stand - legit tactics in football. What would produce a good laugh in any other game - works in football. Italians are only the best side in applying this tactics to actual games, but it's not like other teams don't try to do their best Moron rolling on the floor is treated like damn king, and everybody else is likely to get punished. Until rules of the game are changed what do you expect players will do??? Now, every now and then some n00bz0rz appear, reach a round they never reached before (in 1998. it was Croatia, reaching semi finals no less!) and they then imagine it's some stellar success they should be proud of, when in fact it's nothing but strange mixture of luck, good acting, favorable referees, with 10% of solid play thrown in for good measure. This year, is was Australians that made incredibly big deal of their team, well, advancing to round of 16 by merely getting a draw against piss poor Croatia, and playing impotent game vs Italy (which they, eventually, lost, honest to god). What's there to get excited about? Forza Italia!! (And Go England!)
