I guess what he's saying is that both sides suffered from questionable decisions

Though to my mind the Ozzies are the more hard done by, because as you say the red card was from a bad tackle, whereas the penalty was a dive. In other words, the Ozzies didn't DO anything to PRODUCE the questionable decision which went in their favour, whereas the Italians conned the ref.

But hey, losing to the Italians to a last minute penalty resulting from a dive is all part of getting used to World Cup football!
