Think of the impact of playing basketball with 5 players against 4, and then divide by 2.

Totti out already, I guess Italy doesn't want him to pick up another card.

totti's a midfielder who doesn't really do what you'd like to call "defensive work." hence gattuso.

I think it is fairly significant, but the bookies still have Italy as favorites. It isnt as significant as going a man down in ice hockey. I mean, Italy could certainly win from here and people wouldnt be saying 'omg Italy played for 60 mins with 10 men omg omg wow'

[/ QUOTE ]

Wow, if that's true, that's surprising. I mean with so littelscoring in soccer, how many scores comes with just 10 players?

A basketball court isnt 90 yards long, your analogy doesnt work

hahaha and your first goal was not from a couple lucky calls.

He clearly was level with the last defender when the ball was played

it was a lucky call - clearly not offside

regardless, the keeper would have stopped the ball

i'd be pretty surprised if this doesn't end a draw.
