It was an really soft penalty IMO, In most cases it would not be given and if I was the ref I would not have given it to be honest, But the Italian player was very clever in the way he left his leg trailing, In all fairness though the Italian sending off was also extremely harsh IMO, And Austrailia to me never looked like winning it, They just didnt do enough for me, I think both decisions probably evened themselves out in the end... Austrailia can be very proad of themselves, They did themselves proad in there first World Cup and have nothing to be ashamed of....
Plus this means my bet is still hanging on in there, England v Italy final (18-1)... Both in the last eight, Who knows?
