If the defender stays on his feet he stops the attack and there's no penalty.

If anything he was trying to duck out of the way and let him past.. I didn't see a foul.. I saw some acting though..
What about the two hand balls in the box they didn't call? wtf..

But the officiating has been horrible all tourney, so the fact that hand balls were missed isn't a surprised to anyone...

Good game by the Aussies. I can't tell if the Aussies are cheering or rioting.

So Italy gets the winner of Switzerland vs. Ukraine. That should be an easy one for Italy, despite not having Matrix available. :wink:

I think he went down trying to block the shooting and passing lane.. Big mistake.. I don't think he fouled him though.
The way the Refs have been calling this tourney is a fuckin disgrace.. All you see is acting or grabbing.. One extreme or the other..
They really need to go to a 2 Ref system at the very least and I'm not talking a sideline ref. The last thing you need is for a sideline ref to make calls..
And I don't know how you miss two handballs..

They just showed the replay again... when Totti tried to jump over the defender after he beat him he leans his left arm and shoulder into his leg taking him down.
I don't know.. looked like a foul to me.

They could barely handle the Aussies. No game will be easy in this tourney unless your name is Brazil.

How can you say that was a bad call? the ref had to call that. The guy went down, didnt touch the ball, and interfered we the opposition players movement towrds the net. When this happens in the box its a PK. Done.
Ya it wasnt a viscious tackle, but i dont think the ref had much choice. IMO the red card was a much worse call. But overall i didnt think the ref was that bad today.

The Americans were done in by 1. bad coaching tactics and 2. lack of acting and writhing on the ground skills.

Is that the definition of the rule? I really don't know.
![Dunno](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/dunno.gif)
If thats the rule then it was a good call.
BTW - In the chaos that ensued in the restaurant I was at when that happened I couldn't figure out who the Italian that was tripped up was?

When they say "free kicks" do they mean "penalty kicks"?

So are handballs but the ref didn't have the balls to call those.. Atleast call the game consistent..
And that isn't a rule..

I dont know about the technical definition of the rule, but how can a ref not call that? The defender got beat. If he didnt go down like that, italy would have had a clean break on the net.
It was a fair call.

Just about every sport is like that.. They need to do something about it.. They need a second ref on the field..
From playing the sport it's not easy to keep your balance with people sliding at your feet and pushing. But yes I've seen Way too much acting..
