India down 1-3 at half time and they have lost the referral. First 10 minutes in the first half may have cost India the match. It has happened in past and it has happened now. India just concedes goals within first few minutes against bigger teams and they they just play catch up.
Ken Read is an Australian.What better explanation is required for this unfair decision. I have visited Sydney, Perth, etc and have stayed there for a few weeks. A section of the population simply ARE RACIST. Some small examples - Frequently I came across groups of youngsters who will, as they pass you, call you "black Indian", "F*c*$ing Indian" etc ...Its terrible. I have never seen such behaviour in UK/US or any other countries.
Australians have an inherent superiority complex over Indians, built up by media, which projects Indians as poor, incompetent and an inferior race which is incapable of developing without the white man's assistance.
I was even asked if soft drinks like Pepsi are available in India and if they are as popular as in Australia. It seems the person was wondering if Indians can "afford" to buy carbonated drinks, and whether Pepsi can really make any profit from the poor Indians!
Naturally, when they hear good things about our nation, they take it as a one-off instance from an incapable lot and try putting us down. Remember one odd police chief in Australia saying that "Indian students are safer in Aus. than in India.." What Audacity and what ignorance from a person at a relatively high post! Now, although the above traits are from a "section" of the population, unfortunately this is the only vocal and expressive section.
Let's not do something to "prove" or "show" anything to them. They are not "worth" it. Let's work hard, prosper and be THE BEST.

WE the people of INDIA should have reacted more violently against this white PIG'S decision. send a lot of mails condemning him and his biased attitude. it looks like this FAT PIG was looking the recorded tapes with magnifying glasses to find fault with INDIAN PLAYERS. if this is his attitude, then we can expect the outcome of the final result today itself.
