Many people are saying Italy beat Australia today because of a bad referee call. But remember, in the 2002 World Cup Italy were victims of the worst refereeing ever at a World Cup (Italy had 5 perfectly good goals called off in 3 straight games, and Francesco Totti was given the most outrageously ridiculous Red Card I have ever seen in my life). So perhaps it's fair that after Italy's had so many bad calls go against them, they finally get 1 bad call that goes for them. I mean, Italy had 6 really bad calls go against them in the last World Cup, and just 1 bad call go for them in this World Cup. And admit it, replays prove the Red Card that Marco Materazzi received today was not deserved, so it isn't like today's referee blatantly favored Italy. Who knows what Italy would have done in the second half if Materazzi wasn't sent off and Italy didn't have to play a man down?
Now Guus Hiddink is telling the media that he & Australia lost only because of a bad referee, and they're the poor victims of a bad call. But 4 years ago when Hiddink & South Korea won against Italy because of bad referee calls, he denied that the referee had made any mistakes, and said his team's victory was completely fair. Also, when Hiddink & South Korea beat Spain in the Quarter-Final only because of bad referee calls, Hiddink again denied there were any bad calls by the referee, claiming his team's victory was fair.
