I'm Still Bitter!

The following are the latest viral images relating to the Australia v Italy World Cup match where the Italians cheated and dived their way through for a narrow win.

Daylight Robbery

Now that I've had a couple of days to analyse the Australia v Italy match in the World Cup from an unbiased perspective, I can still unequivocally say (in Ozspeak) that "We Woz Robbed!"

Spanish (and possibly visually impaired) referee Luis Medina Cantalejo inexplicably gave a penalty to the diving Italian cheat Fabio Grosso in the dying seconds of the match which effectively handed victory to Italy on a silver platter.


As for Fabio Grosso's controversial actions in the penalty box, although I'm not a qualified Olympic diving expert, to me it looked like a forward somersault belly flop with a half twist, degree of difficulty 3.2. Here are the judges' scores.....

ESP 9.5
ITA 10.0
RUS 10.0
USA 9.5
GBR 9.0
FRA 9.5
KOR 10.0

Almost the perfect dive. I dare say that Fabio Grosso has greatly increased his prospects of representing Italy at Beijing 2008 in both the platform and springboard diving disciplines.

May The Hoff Be With You

According to a survey conducted on a group of 16-24 year-olds in the UK, David Hasselhoff is the entertainment king of cyberspace. More internet searches are made on him than any other male entertainer. He came in ahead of cultural icons such as Arnold Schwarzenegger, Mr T & Tom Cruise.

This latest poll comes on top of Hasselhoff already appearing in the Guinness Book of World Records for "Most Watched TV Star in the World" courtesy of his roles in "Knight Rider" and "Baywatch".

If "The Hoff" (as he is affectionately known) ever gets sick of all the attention, he could always change his name.....

David Hasselhoff: Hey, I feel like changing my name.

His Agent: To what?

David Hasselhoff: From now on, I wish to be known simply as "David Hoff"

His Agent: Okay David. No hassle.
