Not all Italians. I was referring to the Italian national soccer team. In the last World Cup the Socceroos (Australia's national soccer team) got amazingly far considering our international ranking, but were knocked out by the Italians. The Socceroos weren't even as out-classed as you might expect - they had a couple of ridiculous penalties against them that on later viewing of the video footage were complete bullshit. It seems that when the Italian national soccer team can't win through skill they win through pretending to have been tripped etc. That is one aspect of soccer that I really despise.
