Penalty win for Gunners - Roma 1 v 0 Arsenal
I'm not really a fan of penalty shoot-outs to decide matches... but given both teams had ample chances to kill each other off at home and away, which naturally they didn't take, I guess the shootout was a justified way of deciding the winner of this match.
At this point, I'd like to quickly switch your attention to a little incident at the 2006 WC in Germany, where a much fancied Italian team were up against underdogs Australia in the last 16 round of the tournament. Long story short, (highlights here), after a grueling 94 minutes, of which Italy were a man down and on the back foot, they won a penalty thanks to some inspirational Grosso theatrics which Roma captain Totti stepped up to convert. Man watching that was like a punch in the nads and felt like shit!
Ok, now cut back to last night and to Tonetto missing hiw penalty to grant Arsenal the win... ain't karma a bitch!? How'd it feel losing like that Totti? Hahaha!
And as for me, well I'm still seeing someone about my anger issues with Italian football players... I only have one more year and I should be ready for Australia's foray in South Africa. C'mon Aussie!
