makar tantra how can you say italy survived by referee. italy was given harsh red card in 24th minute and you should know by then they were creating many chances. if they were playing 11 against 11 probalby italy would have been 2-0 up by 90 minutes. and i went though sydney herald which is an australian magzine that said italy deserved penalty because you just cant slide infront of the player and obstruct the way . unfrotunately thats what australian player did. and by the way australia themselves were lucky. remembe harry kewell goal against croatia was clear offside and they wouldnt have qualified. anyway i think germany and brazil has been two best team in the tournament. Germany has won 5 matches in a row. argentina won 3 matches out of 5 match. I know loss for argeintina is hard to come over. but if by saying argentina was the best team makes them feel good then ok ARGENTINA ARE THE BEST TEAM.
