Germany 2006

Firstly, soccer/football - who cares.
Secondly, this article is long as australians love their sport.  does it really matter if it is slightly bias?  the simple fact is that with reporting anything, any historical account, there will be bias.  With such an emotive issue such as sport, i think that wikipedia should have a slightly more leniant policy.  I have been repetedly changing this article to say that australia were cruely eliminated, and the over-zealous dickheads on their powertrips keep reverting.  WHY? anyone could agree that getting a penalty in the 95th minute (unfarely) awarded against you, when you had a reasonable chance of winning in extra time is cruel.  

""NPOV!"" they cry!  but what really is the harm in this?  It was cruel, it was devistating, and, unfortunate for australia and their supporters.  the passion seen in world football is what makes the game so great, and why can't this be reflected in the article?  Sure, i'm not advocating for the page to be titled ""australia is the best and the ref's suck,"" but surely a little emotion in a sports page could be allowed?
