    Totti... last minute!
    I've seen much of the rest of the world. It is brutal and cruel and dark, Rome is the light.

      Yeah what a great dive it was. The guy wasn't even touched. Italian cheats at work again.
      Hard Brexit now!

        They just play the system. Officials can't sort the dives from the fouls, so Italy are in the quarters and the Aussies aren't.

          As a serious question, how many times have in-game decisions by referees been overturned? We've seen quite a few iffy decisions by refs over the years.. saw a collection of Klinsman's professional dives last night - absolutely amazing that people who do that are allowed to remain in the cup when some are sent off for far, far less....

            Robbed!

            There has been some good football played so far (coming from a rugby fan!) but the standard of refereeing has been appalling! The Australians were robbed! I hate to see injustice - even if the Aussies would have been unbearable getting into the Quarter finals!!

            It must be time to move to Video referrees in major tournaments and "sin bins" like rugby has adopted.

              It really is about time that such important decisions are referred to a couple of refs who have access to the TV replays from multiple angles....

                Agreed.

                  Great minds think alike it seems....

                  Maradonna's 'Hand of God' joke goal springs to mind... who cares if it interrupts play for a minute or so to get an accurate decision...

                    So let's hope we get our share of dodgy decisions until it happens!
