Did you see the replay of Kewell's handball? Eyes closed, arms down and in. Maybe i don't know enough about football, but doesn't a straight red have to be deliberate in some form? Something like the sliding trip from the Ghana midfielder which was punished only with a yellow? I'm playing the dodgy ref card on this one. (Bloody Itallians!) If we can't have some consistency then i'd like the calls to be consistently in our favour for a change.

A better performance by the Aussies though. Fingers crossed for a victory against Serbia and a favourable result in Germany v Ghana.
