so close...yet still so damn far
So close...yet still so damn farMannn...you know you're going off your rocker when you start chanting, "Let's go Aussie let's go!!" in your room all by yourself. *sighs* I can't believe Australia lost, honestly I thought they had a chance. It...was...so...painful. They dominated the game all through the match and were playing such a brilliant game. Italy had so many chances but failed to put the goals away time and time again due to the great defence of Australia & some brilliant goalkeeping. The total match was 93 minutes. Italy got a man sent off but Australia failed to use that to their advantage. Just when it looked as if it was going to be a draw and go into extra time, at around 92 mins and 30 secs Italy scored a penalty (actually after analyzing the replay, I saw that the Italian fella just fell over on his own) & after that penalty was taken, it was all over. It was SOOOOOO CLOSE yet so far. Painful really. Some people commented after the match that the referee's decision was very wrong and that the Italian was looking for a penalty but who's to say (that was bloody slimy though)? The referee's decision is final and no one can challenge that. Their fate has been sealed. Mannn...that was a bloody good match. I was kept on my toes throughout and saw some great footwork & maturity from the Aussies. Too bad they didn't take the opportunity to put away goals before the last minute, so what's there to complain about. They did put up a great fight though and there were some outstanding players. If only Kewell wasn't injured and had played, the match may have been different. I was jumping up and down, heart racing, before the Italian took the penalty. Now I can't sleep *lol*. I don't know how come I'm so emotional this time. I actually teared. Oh man!!! But I think the Aussies really deserved it. Oh wellz. It was a bitter pill for all of Australia and me to swallow. But that's just fate & the way life works eh.Well, the Aussies have come very far & they've worked damn hard for it. They will go out with their heads held high. Well done!! (SLIMY ITALIANS, I hope you get CRUSHED soon)Brazil v Ghana and Spain v France tomorrow! If Spain loses I WILL BAWL MY EYES OUT!!!
