Of all the ways to lose a World Cup game, to be victimized by a dive in the final moments of injury time, followed by a successful penalty kick, has got to be the worst.

From my vantage point, that's what happened to Australia today in its game against Italy.

Fabio Grosso should be known, henceforth, as Fabio Louganis.

Italy's fans may well be happy, but that's not a proud or honourable way to win.
