South Korea (v Switzerland) and USA (v Italy) have suffered far harsher decisions that ultimately cost the teams progression through to the next stages.

But from a neutral's position, have we been rough AT ALL? I can think of maybe one time when Aloisi pushed over a Japanese player that cut in front of him, but nothing else...
The attitude of the competition so far seems to be: "alright you noobs, you wanna play with the big boys, you gotta earn it." And the way we earn it is by taking hits and getting smashed with penalties. The only reason we've been progressing at all is that they've somehow had the grace to let it go and play on.
