Our dreams are dashed like so much pottery. But it had to happen somewhere along the line. But fair play to the Italians, I think they played a good clean game, and I didn't see many if any dodgy dives or fake injuries. The penalties called against us were justified for once, so good work to the ref as well. But I will say this, I do believe that final penalty was an incorrect call. Not necessarily a *bad call* because it is understandable that the events could have been interpreted that way from his angle, and he can't go back on a call. Although, having said that, should a ref make such a momentous call without being 100% certain? It was disappointing, because I do think we were the stronger team and I was hanging out for some shoot-outs at the end, but at least Italy played fairly.
