"Spain had one bad call that put them out of the tournament, and none of the suspect calls against Italy did that."

Would you please explain.

The one bad call against Spain, are you referring to the goal which was called back by the line judge?

How can you say that that call knocked Spain out and yet deny a similar goal scored by Tomassi which was called offside. Tomassi's goal would have given Italy the victory just like Spain's goal. Furthermore, Italy had at least 5 good goals taken away from them and one player red carded at a key point in the game.

I never said there was a conspiracy against Italy. What I have said all along was that the officiating was poor and not worthy of this world competition.

I can go back a few days and pull out the insults thrown at me, mostly from one scumbag, when I criticized the officiating. Now that Spain has one good goal called back it has become open season for referees.

I expect them to be upset, but I hope they maintain some vestige of dignity.

Spain does not take to dramatics like the Italians, they simply face the bull and take it by the horns... literarily -g
