Just on another thing - I thought the refs over both games let a lot of things go, which made it tense at times between both teams.

The ref last night let a lot of vey nasty tackles by the Brazilian defenders go, one player should have been sent off three time in the second half and Marta got more frees for falling over than she got for actual tackles.

They were also very unsporting throughout the game and particularly at the end when they rejected handshakes. :roll:

didnt watch, but Australians are generally rude on the sporting field then expect their opponents to be friendly at the end of the game

See now you really are just talking out of your clack, players all over the world give it to each other on the park but when the whistle goes shake hands and move on. At different times teams from all over the world have spat it and not been the best of sports at the end of a game not just Australians.
You are definitely a self parody and I do enjoy your valiant attempts to clickbait this forum

It would be frightening to consider the amount of self-abuse he would engage in when he isn't on this forum talking cabernet.
