Don't worry about it, I didn't think of it in those terms anyway, but I got what you meant about the whiners, as I saw you celebrating Italy's Victory.

I agree with you though, Australia did not do anything with their advantage, and Italy was the better team, but Australia did do very well for their first World Cup. Still, I don't think that dive warranted a penalty kick. Italy would have won in OT, or through the final series of penalty kicks, the one they got however was not right, and kind of makes their victory a hollow one.

A victory is a victory, so Congrats to Italy. I will be rooting for them over Switzerland.

It wasn't Australia's first World Cup.
