i'm not talking about alice in wonderland, but the italy vs. australia game.
a friend texted me seconds after the whistle was blown (i didn't hear the whistle to be honest, it was drowned in the lunatic screaming by the cctv commentator--he actually qualified for everything but a commentator), kind enough to share her excitements. i was playing the fun-spoiler by replying: his comment was rubbish, the penalty was highly debatable.
i obviously succeeded in irritating her, who texted back "i don't care" when i suggested that she might want to check out what the overseas media are saying. interestingly, the international media was less gentle than my judgement on the referee, probably they are not all english and don't bother shooting for understatements. "controversial", "dubiously given", "litigieux', "peu evident", "généreux" sont les mots frequents.
Desole, ma cherie, mais le penalty EST vraiment litigieux et trop genereux.
