Yet they were wrong with the RVN incident

But have the wonders of hindsight to make it look like they knew what they were doing over the goal

It was a shambles, dressed up as organisation

Nothing bizarre or crazy about my view, that's obviously what happened

  - Halfy-halfy Italy and Holland really, second half. (Other Football) - Arizona Bay, Jun 10, 11:31:35

        Brizzle (n/m) (Other Football) - Old Git, Jun 10, 12:15:39
  - it was indeed mainly Italy in the second half (Other Football) - mr carra, Jun 10, 11:27:36
  - He's a slightly more skilfull Robert Rosario (n/m) (Other Football) - Holden Caulfield, Jun 10, 11:26:38

        I have no idea (Other Football) - BerlinCanary, Jun 10, 11:37:45
