World Cup is here

[pstall]

So they've won a 5th of the time then? 'Cos there's only been 19 World Cups (including this one) and Italy have taken 4 of them home.

boring play is what im talking about.

denied by an offside

[JakeFlake]

Italy just had a goal disallowed due to offsides (looked to be the right call).

[Boltergeist]

and now buh-bye Italy

[JakeFlake]

Slovakia scores! 3-1 in 89th minute. Azzurri is going home.

[JakeFlake]

Italy gets one back. 3-2 92nd minute. Hold on.

[Delhommey]

This game turned insane.

[Miaoww]

Shocking from Italy. They should be burying teams like Slovakia. Where was the defence for the third Slovakian goal?

[JakeFlake]

Italians are out. Buh-bye. Don't let the door hit you on the ass on your way out.

[pstall]

what an amazing stretch right there..the Slov goal and the killer chip for Italy

[cbarrier90]

I wonder how Giuseppe Rossi feels right now. You know what they say about karma...

[Implied Volatility]

Both Italy and France get sent home after the group stage...Crazy World Cup.

[JakeFlake]

Cannavarro just announced his retirement from international duty.

[Bobby]

France has a valid excuse, something about wanting to kill one another.

The Italy thing is simply a case of karma. Any team that cheats against New Zealand deserves an eternity of bad fortune. They have a banker on their team for heaven's sake, a banker.
