Message: <blockquote data-quote="Sidekick" data-source="post: 2916587" data-attributes="member: 13946">I was totally outraged by that loss. Sure Italy are a great team,. but c'mon that was a totally unfair and unsporting penalty to award. If that penalty was awarded 10 or 5 minutes from full-time & italy won. I wouldn't have minded, but to give a game winning penalty in the very last second of the match was cynical beyond all beleeif. Its as if the ref coldn't be bothered with the next 30 mins or had dinner waiting for him at home. jeez.That Australia lost? I'm not too bothered as I expected it. But the way in which the Italians won? Severly pissed off...And now to my 1/4er final preditions.Germany v Argentina: This one is all up for grabs. If Argentina play like they did against Serbia/Montenegro and Germany play like they id against Sweden then it's all on for a great game. I can't pick it, but I'll be cheering for the hosts as I have a german flatmate, I like Ballack and Podolski has the coolest name ever (Podolski shoots'ski, scores'ski & its 1-Nilski!!!).England v Portugal: hmm seeing as I live in Engerland I'll be supporting the boys in white. Should be close and hopefullly a good game.Italy v Ukraine: If Italy can't win this, then the dont' deserve to win the world cup. They should outclass the Ukrainians in every area of the game (possibly bar main striker as Shevchenko is a legend).France v Brazil: Hmm I feel an upset coming on. Too close to call. Whomever lifts their game the highest will win. If Brazil bring it - they should win 2 or 3 to 1. If France win, hmmmm I'm picking 2-1. But Ideally as a neutral It's time for some good gut-wrenching Penalty shoot outs (after 1-1 of course).Bring it on I say!!!</blockquote>
