Italy Wins!!!

If you didn't see this World Cup Game, you certainly missed some great action!!! Game was tied, 0-0 in the Australia-Italy match this morning, at least until Injury Time. Three minutes of Stoppage time was added to this game, and both teams pressing hard to continue on to the next round.

Finally, in the 93 minute (that would have been 2 minutes into injury time), with only a few seconds left to play, Italian player draws a foul in the box (there was no foul, but he made it look like there was tripping, and scored a penalty kick for Italy). The foul was in the box, and thus Italy was awarded a PK, and when all was said and done, Itlay won with a goal scored from the PK, which sends Australia back home, and Italy to face the winner of this afternoon's match between the Ukraine and Switzerland.

Off to read and work on hw...

  1. That was ridiculous man! I can't believe Australia let that happen with only SECONDS left until overtime! I was very sad, but oh well... Good game! Australia should still be very proud of the battle they put up against Italy.
