The Italians fell to South Korea today on a Golden Goal. I watched the first half, but went to work and got an im play-by-play by my boy Kev. Phenomenal summed up the game in one email that I received today. It is now USA all the way. Check this World Cup Blog for some great info.

"Giovanni Trapattoni (who had few kind words for the referees after Italy's first round loss to Croatia and draw with Mexico) again was livid when Totti was given a second yellow card in the 103rd minute - and sent off. The replays weren't entirely convincing, but then Totti's several earlier dives and bad play-acting weren't either. I just don't understand why a player of such exquisite skills risks such foolishness when he knows he already has one yellow."
