Yeah, I guess Australia were a bunch of sore losers too.

Skillz, you are such a sore loser, Italia won and fairly outplayed Scotland though they got a good foal disallowed. France will win that Ukraine game and will prove you wrong, France 25 points, Scotland 24… Looks like France did better fair and square, that’s the game, be a gentleman. PS: France doesn’t hate Italia, only tabloids and childish commentators on the net like to entertain a little war of words…

[...] left to play. You can read about the ensuing fallout over Italy-Scotland from the perspective of French, Italian, and Scottish fans. Or you can read about the conspiracy [...]

Football is so corrupt I cant stand it anymore. Why do the refs always cheat for Italy. When France loses in Ukraine they should wave Italian flags at the end of the match to celebrate the Italians carrying the french into euro 2008.

The Italians came out of the blocks, the early goal subdued the fantastic support and it took the scots too long to get into the game, if scotland had scored first………well we did`nt so move on…bring on the world cup draw.

I cannot believe how immature some people are being. Do some of these people actually believe what they’re posting. I sincerely hope that it’s just sour grapes because if it isn’t it’s just plain childish and pathetic. The game was exiciting and full of action at both sides of the park. The game was pretty evenly matched, posession was 50 – 50 with Italy having the slight advantage with shots on goal. Italy were more clinical in front of goal and had some bad luck with a poor offside call. I’m not too sure if Scotland’s goal was offside or not, it appeared to be OK to me. I knew the Scots would throw everything they had at Italy and could have had a better result but in the end Italy pulled off a well diserved victory. The Scottish faithful have nothing to complain about since the linesman made a questionable call that kept them in the game and the Scots had their chances but could finish. Well Italy and France go through to Euro 2008 – Was there ever any doubt?!?

Yeah… clearly Scotland was robbed, and Italy paid the refs… They also paid for their goal to be discounted, and then for Scotland to be gifted a phantom goal.. That makes total sense…

Shut up PQSIK. Scotland lost the game, deal with it. There are no conspiracies.

pqsik, you mean the Scots have never taken advantage of getting the wrong call?

Ok sorry, Skillz But I still stand by my comment. I watched the game and I cannot comprehend why the ref and the linesman gave a free kick to Italy. I think want to keep the game at that side of the park not knowing Italy would score.?
Now I know how Australia felt when they played Italy in the World Cup. Why is there not an independent body verifying the refs for these games?
Would you still put on a LOTTO ticket then you did not know who/when the draw was taken ??
