As soon as the worlds #1 chimp gets removed from Fifa they'll have a review system... something deeper with that penalty though, clearly the ref was looking to give something, blew his whistle before he even hit the floor. Plus the 'foul' on flapper was harsh as well I thought but would have to watch Japanese football to see if they give them or not.

I know, I saw it in the papers today. I did not watch the game, don't have TV where I am right now and all Internet online access to the world cup was blocked as a result of the monopoly of the TV channel transmitting the games (well I think this is the reason because impossible to see anything online). 🙁
Italian team bears many ressemblances with the 1982-team: several injuries at the last moment, the coach with obsolete hair style from mafia movies or Itaian comic book "Alan Ford" (by Magnus and Bunker) and Italian public doesn't believe in them at all.
On the other hand, England have not recovered from sacking Capello yet, and Hodgson didn't manage to keep strong disciplin as Capello did. (But it would have been interesting to see how an Italian would fight against his fellow-countrymen!)
