    Leave the flopping to us, we've mastered the art for decades now.

    Shame really. I thought we were the better team but a shit lineup and dumb mistakes cost us. Good to see fighting spirit though in Azzurro.

    They are raising a generation of pansies in Germany. Embarrassing.

    I thought there was a shout for offside on that goal in ET. The ball passed over the German player on the ground, surely that can be viewed as affecting the play.
     
    AGomes repped this.

    That first Yellow on Zanotti was BS. Mild prostest and out comes the second Yellow. Ridiculous.

    I'll be surprised if this Referee sees future matches in the tournament.

    Good effort, could have gone either way. The Germans have dusted everyone in the tournament, tho aside from Woltermade and Reitz I thought they were quite poor today.

    Yes considering the game continued it was a disgrace it's like he thought the game was over and was just giving out a card to make a point.

    This tournament is leaving me sour in 2 consecutive editions. Of course I'm referring to the bullshit from the France match 2 years ago.

    Obviously Zanotti doesn't get a 2nd Yellow if he doesn't get a First Yellow. He felt a push into his back and went down. So? Hardly egregious. That was NOT a dive. But no cards issued on MINIMUM 2 German Simulations? If you want Italy out just say it.

    Yup. 9-1 yellow cards. Wild stuff.

    Guy was a train wreck. I can live with the Gnonto sending off, stupid challenge on his part, but the Zanotti second yellow was way too harsh.

    The double yellow for Zanetti was ridiculous. Gnonto really screwed us tho, that 2nd yellow was inexcusable.

    The first Yellow was. But Zanotti should have not thrown the ball into the ground in frustration, it will be argued. But what was the first Booking for?

    100% agreed.

    Nunziata was late on his subs, but Italy had looked really strong up until that point. You had to feel good if it went to ET that Italy had a really good chance 11v11.

    Just a stupid challenge by Gnonto given the circumstances, especially.

    Everything went wrong and we also made it easy for them. Those striker challenges by Gnonto and Koleosho were completely unnecessary. Had Luca not received that card he would have stayed on the field. The Zanotti yellow was completely bogus.

    The most frustrating thing is that I really feel we didn’t put our best foot forward this tournament. I don’t care what anyone says, the Pio injury was fake.
