Leave things as they are. Don't blame the losses by our beloved Azzurri on UEFA (or FIFA) - they did their job. Although I don't agree with the off-side decision there will be a great amount of discussion in the future and there will definately be a rule change. Now, maybe we should all start wearing wooden shoes, it seems to be working. Who would have imagined that didn't melt-away like always. Anyway, don't give up on the Azzurri just yet, they've come back from behind, all too many times in the past, that's why we love 'em. FORZA AZZURRI!! I don’t agree on the instant-replay. Leave things as they are.

Although Italy played better than in the first game, they still lacked clarity and looked like they don't quite have it together. Must be the age and lots of the key-players missing. To be honest I'm not impressed by Donadoni's work since the qualifying games. However the referee didn't help Italy in neither of the games. Gave an offside goal to the Dutch in the 1st game and took an onside goal from Toni against Romania away. To be correct and fair the games should have both ended like this, Italy-Netherlands:0-2 and Italy-Romania: 2-1. As you can see it would be a totally different situation, but UEFA doesn't want to introduce the instant-replay rule, who knows... maybe they have some underlying interests. The game was pretty good.
