Totti was fouled and yet he gets the red card

Every team gets bad calls, stop using that "hate" word and settle down already. Accusing someone of "hating" when all they are doing is expressing a harmless opinion makes you look foolish.

As for Totti's card...what do you expect? It's Karma.

Totti has received hundreds of free kicks in his career for succesful diving. He's not the worst, that pipsqueak Inzaghi gets the Calcio diving prize, but at any rate Totti bears a certain responsibility for the card because he is constantly crying wolf.

In the long run that red card will make for better games in the future: if Totti can get tossed, ANYBODY can get tossed.

My sympathies with the Talians, and congratulations to the Koreans for never giving up. They put themselves in a place where a little luck could help.

And for pennance, I expect you to recount all the times Italy has benefitted from dives and other bad calls. Because you know, they have certainly had their share of "luck".
