If you think that decision was harsh (it was), check out this foul the Italians got v Scotland a couple of years back...
Laughable really, it still makes no sense to me whatsoever!!

This is why I cannot stand Italian football. Surely refs should be aware they have always gone down easy and they should be looking out for it.
Come on All Whites!

Italy - the country that taught the world that you can cheat at football.

We were hanging on for 20 minutes there. Looked a lot better when our defence were stepping forward into the space between defence and midfield to cut out some of those passes. Hopefully we'll start the second half more positively.
Wondering if Wood for Fallon might be a good move soon just so we don't need to be so tentative in challenging for the ball up front.

If it's worth a penalty anytime someone gets their shirt held in the box, there would be penalties at every single corner ffs. And he had to do the bloody theatric dive, in the opposite direction of the pulling. Ridiculous referee. Ridiculous.

The Italians and ref are f**king me off.
Love Siggy and Plodds giving Italians mouthful at the break.

Fallon shld be subbed otherwise we will be down to 10 soon....great so far but we are struggling to hold on methinks. Azurri know how to milk calls and always have..
A small town in Europe........looking to bounce straight back up....well that aint going to happen

Yeah, considering their dominance one-all isn't bad. I hope we can either hold on or get another as we definitely deserve something from this.

Struth - was this ref watching all the other games recently?
Italians are being theatrical and the referee is buying it.

Well now, plenty of heartstopping stuff there...good first half effort really from against the world champions. This certainly looks do-able.
Maybe Rory Fallon was right. Did you see God defending New Zealand on the far post for that goal saver??

Improving,,on the up, a work in progress from Italiano and the Nix. Bring on the bathroom bling in '24! COYN!

It's no use us being surprised. This is how Italy play their football. Always have, always will. They have cunningly neutralised our aerial dominance on attack with a few well judged dives which unfortunately this fussy ref, who has major card-giving history, has bought. Fallon will need to be very careful, Killen too.
