Grosso-out

"Total idiot call"?

Gooch's penalty was a TIC. The non-goal for the French was a TIC. Three yellow cards for one player was a TIC. There have been plenty of TICs in this WC. But to say this was a "total idiot call" is crazy.

Yes, Grosso could have gone around Neill and maybe avoided him. Might Grosso have been a "gentleman" and allowed Neill to obstruct him while the Aussies cleared the ball? Been noble about entering 30 minute of OT with a man down? Maybe...but I would not have.

Neill offered Grosso the opportunity and he took it. Bravo to Grosso.
