World South Africa 2010: Slovakia 3 - 2 Italy

So far was the most vibrant match World Cup . So far the party was more tension in the championship. So far, it was the biggest surprise meeting with South Africa 2010. Ladies and gentlemen, as in Korea - Japan 2002 , the current world champion ran out of chances to defend his title in the first round .

Thus, Marcello Lippi's Italy was eliminated by Slovakia unusually the most of those who could see until Thursday 24 June in the first round . The "Azzurra" came to the pressing need to win to progress without depending on other results after the draws against Paraguay and New Zealand.

But equality and neocelandeces Paraguayans made with just one point and without winning even one game, champions achieve an undeserved pass to the second round. Not so. A team with no name front and a defense that suffered the absence of Gianluigi Buffon should return to his place.

" Slovakia ? He risked much more and that was enough. He earned two and spent some anxiety when Di Natale was 2-1 but with a counterattack that resulted in a gross error of the inexperienced goalkeeper Federico Marchetti was closed despite the score at 92 Quagliarella has nurtured a dream that was a nightmare.
