Its shocking but Italy never were going to win like they did last year after their earlier performances so the loss against Slovakia gets the pain out early,
look at the bright side, at least they didn't make the top 16 and get embarrasingly smashed like England
And New Zealand almost beat them, If there was no penalty from that ridiculous 'hollywood' (fake injury) pulled by Italy they would have been even further last, I don't know if you understand how embarrassing a loss against NZ would have been but those in this part of the world know that all talented NZ kids go into the All Black (rugby union) training behemoth and only second rate athletes and resident foreigners play soccer there
Still I'm friom Australia and we were awful too, so I commisserate with you
I normally only follow rugby union but my partner loves soccer so I have seen the world cup games
I hope Spain win, they seem to have the most entertaining style of play in my opinion, but thats just my opinion.
