Defending champions arrived in South Africa with high hopes and huge fan following but things did not go the way as it was expected. Slovakia crushed Italians out of this FIFA world Cup. Jubilation time for Slovakian’s who secured their position in the top 16 for the first time. Italian defenders have taken all the blame and accepted their mistakes because of which Italy has lost the match.

This humiliating departure of Italy is very painful for the Italian fans, as they get chance in last minutes to equal the match from which they fail to take advantage. Defending champions and runner ups both back to their home land; I guess this might be because of latest invention in the soccer ball which is quite strange!
