Maria & Brett's HUGE Trip 06-07-08-09-? ok, so the Socceroos lost in 'that' penalty against Italy; Adriatic summers aren't long enough (bliss!); and we found that you should never use the term "Eastern Bloc" when talking to a Czech (Central Europe, please).

Past Schwarzer and through the net! Right direction and trajectory, but just not enough to stop Totti from sucking his thumb. We were so worried before this shot because the sun was directly in Schwarzer's eyes. He did well - Bravo!

Moments before Totti's last-second penalty sealed Italy's 1-0 victory over Australia. Did this win Italy the Cup?
