Spain-Italy Quarterfinal Euro 2008 [R]

[JeremyEritrea]

No referee is going to call a penalty in a game like this for getting stepped on the foot. You need to slide from behind or clearly take out his legs from under the ball

It was outside the area. And it was a foul.

However, there were at least two, and possibly three fouls inside the box that Fandel did not call.

Again, I'm rooting for Italy, but even with my homer glasses on I think Spain is getting screwed by the ref.

Andy Grey is really ruining this broadcast. When Italy gets good goals taken away it's 'oh, too bad', now he's going on an all out attack over stuff that's considered ticky tack in other games and is ignored by broadcasters

It's because people are sick of seeing the Italians get away with the same sh!^ every tournament.

In a game like this a foul into the area is not penalty???? LOL, go to see some baseball or shit like that...

Go watch MLS where they call everything this is european soccer

If you want to do the eurosnob thing, call it football.

And this referee has been not calling obvious fouls.

On a note away from the sad ref performance:

I really like Grosso. He gives you solid defense and attacking options at outside back. He also has rare height for a player with these abilities which gives another solid player for set pieces.

Looks to me that Spain could use Fabregas in the middle. They also look vulnerable on the counter and Cassano could really do some damage if he gets the chance to go at the cb's with some space.

There's a reason why he keeps ignoring you. ;)

I'm not neutral - I'm for Italy. And I think Spain is getting screwed.

Ummmmm yeah.

[WhiteStar Warriors]

All Spain has to do is shoot a goal and that's that..I'm sick of all the Ronaldo-type players who expect the referee to call everything..they fall down then look at the referee
