yeah its the risk a lot of players take and if you've ever played a game of football in your life, you sometimes can't help it esp if a player has left you behind.

The falling to the ground was quality made italian... to go with their 27 names for ham... :lol:

a lot of the time in the box, you won't always see them called but sometimes you just got to milk it good and it might eventually turn into some quailty boccocini \:d/ [-x ](*,)

1-1 at half time

Holy shit, did i just see an a-league ad (twice!) on a free to air channel (even if it is SBS at 10 to 1 in the morning)

Smeltz isn't going to shut up about scoring at a WC when he comes back for the GC.

WOAH!

That was an ad for the A-League!

Surely FFA haven't learned a lesson?

Have you got any fucking idea what you're on about? Tommy Smith had a fist full of De Rossi's shirt, thus obstructing his movements, he went to run for the ball and went to ground. It's a foul any day of the week. It's not usually called because usually when you see it, it's BEFORE a kick is taken from a set play. When it happens in open play, it's ALWAYS called a foul. The referee made the correct decision. So fucking jog on sunshine.

If you can find where I said 'every italian', that would be great. Or you could stop putting words in my mouth. The event I'm talking about, replays showed that Fallon didn't touch him #-o

Not a penalty. Italians, as usual, endearing themselves to no one with their constant diving. Cheats.

Kiwis unlucky.

I think the italians are scared shitless... waiting for a Smeltz special int he second half... whether thats a tackle on one of there diving cheating greasy fuckers or a screamer of a tap in who knows

It was actually half funny aswell! Can't believe it.

was it the fury one with the green paint? thats been on TV in NZ for the whole world cup

It was. Good message to it too.

Pity the only people who saw it were two nocturnal 442 forumites. If it's not on the mainstream commercial channels at times for a range of demographics I will rage!

The 'Italian answer', not 'Chiellini's answer'. So you have generalised.
And even the commentator said it was an elbow.#-o

funny ad too.

I feel like wearing body paint.... to bed ;)


umm...

well it can be debated whether the goal for new zealand was offside and it can be debated whethe or not the italian milked that penalty for all its worth. One things for sure, italy had the momentum before the equaliser but Im glad to see NZ holding its own. Hopefully they can continue to hold on til the end.

cmon new zealand! i have faith in you!

I'll think you'll find i made the insinuation that all Italians were divers (they are) and afroman pointed out the shirt was pulled.

As much as I wish it wasn't true, Smith was in the wrong, it was seen, and it was penalised.

If NZ can keep it 1-1 till around the 75th minute, maybe Smeltz can take out their keeper after they've used all their subs.

@ cuzzy- Yeah it was the Fury one, first time I've seen it and I have missed maybe 1 night's (when Swiss beat Spain) action of the World Cup.

Definitely hope that it gets some air time when people are actually awake! or at least during the Aussie v Serbia game.

WTF

Canavarro keeps climbing up fallons back.. then falling off it.. and getting a penalty

You're talking about his clash moments earlier with...I think it was Bertos...

Montolivo also went down easily around the same time.

So are there other versions of the ads cuzzy?

Here's hoping the kiwis park the bus because I can't see them scoring another goal. for their nz sake... but if they are having to chase the game at some stage... they are going to have to attack.

How can it be debated wether the NZ goal was offside. When Reid gets the touch Sneltz is clearly in an offside position. No debate needed.

If that's the A-League one, I know there's a Sydney FC version, something about guys going around looking shady in a linen store, asking if they could get a thousand meters or whatever of material, and it cuts to a video of that skyline tifo they had against Adelaide at the start of last season.

because some people will believe that he didn't touch it e.g the refs ;)

dude you just like arguing for the sake of it.. you really are annoying sometimes...

Pot, meet kettle.

lol Lochead goes for the Grosso style trip-over-his-man :lol:

Oh the irony. At least they were talking about the game. Just shut up and get back to the topic at hand, yeah?

free kick number 26 for Italy

Bertos has been working really hard

italians are looking closer to getting that goal but I'd love to see a run against play and see a massive goal.. then we can see moxstars bets pay off lol.. that'd be a good pay day! ;)

I love the game, but Italy make football look like a soft sport. Hate them for it.
