speechless

Well, what can be said for the end of the Aus vs Italy match? I sat in Ronnie's loungeroom in stunned silence as the end of that match unfolded, and with everything that has been said in the media about it, not much more needs to be said either.

Now that the initial reaction to the match has dissipated, the ref (who was quite good as far as the referreeing standard at this cup has been) made two crucial decisions which changed the game itself and were probably his only flaws. The red card to Materazzi and the penalty were both 50-50 decisions that could have gone either way. The red did seem a bit harsh and a yellow was probably more deserved. In turn, that penalty was probably given because as Neill went to ground, his left elbow came out and may have looked like he tripped the player. Anyway, whats done is done and its good to reflect upon how the boys went in this campaign. They surely did Australia proud and never have I been more happy about the state of sport in this country.

Anyways, that was just a quick two cents about the football, I'll blog more about the Cup and Hillsong Conference next week.
