If you honestly believe the "balance of calls" was even in the four Australian games, fair play to you. I'll take the statistics and the views of the international footballing media experts ahead of your anti-Australianism every day of the week.

I might hate the American national team (only because Bruce Arena is a useless cunt), but I'm not going to say they didn't get a rough run in a couple of their games.

If you look at the four Australian games analytically you'd agree with the rest of the world in saying that we copped a rough run all up.
