I don't think so - he let a lot go that I thought would be a foul but then I'm no ref so what do I know. I would say the Italian's did push the boundaries more - we only had one English booking I lost count of their yellow cards. But in football that's just a card, it isn't like in rugby where you get sin binned and put your team at a disadvantage so you could argue that was part of their strength to push the boundaries without any red cards.

Again I'm no expert but on balance from mid first half onwards Italy were the stronger team with more possession and more shots on target etc. It's a shame that we lost but I don't think we can claim we were cheated from it it my opinion
