Grosso courted controversy in a match against Australia in the Round of 16 of the 2006 World Cup in Kaiserslautern. Grosso went down after contact from Lucas Neill's prone body inside the penalty area, winning a penalty in the final seconds of the match which was converted by Francesco Totti, giving Italy a 1-0 win.
