That all happened right in front of me. Scotland had played well and deserved a draw (Italy better in the 1st, Scotland better in the 2nd) and we looked more likely to get the win. Then one of our brave wee laddies was fouled and the cruel ref gave the Italians the free kick. They scored the winner from it.
Eck had inherited the side at top of the group and with momentum. He's going to have to generate it himself this time.
