Was Italian keeper Buffon really that injured? Injured enough to miss a World Cup match? Apparently a herniated disc kept him out. It didn't seem to affect him too much with all his jumping up and down off the bench. Italy needed him the most.
Ah yes , the 3 yellow card trick! How can us Aussies forget that? I've never seen a ref lose his bottle like he did that night in 2006. And where is Croatia for this World Cup? Redemption is almost upon us.
