That's bull****.

****ing robbed. <snipped>

:laugh: :laugh: a bit angry ain't you? lol.

IMHO, Fifa have to really look hard at using video tech to aid the ref now. Other sports use technology (tennis, rubgy, cricket etc) so why won't fifa use it!

The game was played equally. They both did great, minus italys red card.

But that penalty was BULL.

The australian player slid for the ball, didnt get it and even TRIED to move his head out of the way for the italian player. Clearly it wasnt a penalty. That ref is going to get hung and linched if he ever steps foot in Australia.

What a shame from a ref that was doing pretty good all game long :no:

Makes me wonder if he (and FIFA) felt bad because Italy was cheated out of the 2002 cup by Korea coached by Hiddink :whistle:

This penalty is worse than the Shevchenko one against Tunisia for the fact the referee was less than 15 feet away.

Australia v Italy 0:0 - Ref : 1

We beat Italy, just couldn't beat the bribes. It's another example of the influence of money in the World Cup.

Italy, I hope you got your money's worth. One of the biggest frauds in World Cup history.

Iterestingly some of Italy's players are involved in the Italian league match fixing court case at the moment. Many of them already flagged for expusion, but that's ok, you can play in the world cup. Flippin' Cheats.

:shiftyninja:

Putting all this cheating aside, Australia, in my opinion, had this coming to them. Why do I say this? Well, it was clear they were playing for OT by the way they played all the second half. When Italy counter attacked with 4 players and left 6 in the back (goalie included), Australia would take its sweet time going up the field instead of attacking the 6 men with full speed to catch them off guard. What, don't they know Italy has one of the toughest defenses in the World Cup?

    • Dell, HP PCs ran into endless reboot, BitLocker recovery loops but Windows 11 isn't to blame

      By eiffel_g · Posted

      Funny, but I didn't had the issue. All PC's at work are Dell and we had the culprit version of Support Assist for about 2 weeks until we got the new one. No problem at all. And for checking you can also use Dell Command Update, no need to search in windows settings. Just check the Upgrade History.

    • Apple's AI smart glasses and Vision headset plans reportedly delayed, again

      By AnalystDan · Posted

      Apple are scared of their customers! They have built a brand over the years of "it just works out of the box", but that slows innovation. Samsung's master stroke was the Galaxy Ultra: "Let's cram everything into one handset, make it so stupid only real nerds will love it, some of the features will work, some won't, but the audience will have such a high tolerance they won't care". Apple has no such device and so they are constantly worrying these days about the fallout of creating a new experience that customers might not like. I know it is often cited the reason they don't build a touchscreen Mac Book is they don't want to cannibalise the the iPad market, but I think it's equally cold feet after the criticism Microsoft receive trying to make a touch compatible desktop OS

      So, an article that has nothing to do with Windows 11, still gets Windows 11 in the title and a build number as the picture? Dell have a buggy build of Support Assist HP have UEFI settings that need unlocking for the secureboot cert upgrade to take place.
