World Cup: New Zealand robbed of a win over Italy by diver!

C'mon, surely for anyone who saw that must realise that Italian player Daniele De 'Diver' Rossi won the Italian side a penalty through some pitch theatrics.

According to the Sydney Morning Herald :' Daniele De Rossi flopped to the deck in the All Whites penalty area, alleging he'd been pushed by 20-year-old Kiwi innocent - Tommy Smith.'

Could it simply have been a nicely timed theatrical performance in order to save face? if so, then why would any referre allow such a thing?

Ryan Nelsen was highly critical of the referee in this morning's incredible 1-1 draw with Italy, saying he got "stars in his eyes" and ruined the match. NZ Herald

The New Zealand draw against the reigning world champions is brilliant, but it could have been something more.....something so much more epic!

My good mate put it quite well "The All Whites kicked em' in the meat'a-balls."
