No need for words – Just a taste from Italy’s 3-2 loss to Slovakia yesterday, eliminating them from the 2010 World Cup after only three matches, as they were able to pick up only two points with draws against New Zealand and Paraguay. Sad ending for the exiting 2006 world champions, and a very hazy future lying ahead.

Four years ago Italy advanced into the quarter finals after cheating and scoring a (dived for penalty) illegitimate goal against Australia. Now, they may have had a goal ruled offside to send them crashing out of the world cup. Karma?
Karma’s big in soccer… Lippi’s arrogance had a big part in this failure too
