I think as I posted earlier on if teams like Algeria, Ghana, USA and Iran progress then it is very much a World Cup.

When you have Greece, in their current capacity, progressing further than Italy and Spain you know there's something not quite right about the tournament  ;)

Actually I think you'll find half the Greek side play in Italy themselves, the rest have all been playing Champions League football, the talent is clearly there.

I'm tipping this one stings pretty bad DU, chin up, only another 4 years to go. This is what the second time running Italy has failed to progress from the group stage? I can understand your bitterness. :))

FWIW the Italians were sucked in by the Uruguayans who will try any dirty tactic to put their opponents off their game. Italy got dragged down to their level and paid the price.

We may have failed to progress to the next stage in the past two world cups, however... When was the last time you Greeks got their hands on the coverted trophy PI2C? :P
Why did the Carlton FC fall? So they could learn to pick themselves up.

They (the Greek squad) dominated the European cup and won it around the last time we (Italy) last figured prominently in WC..around 2006 I think it was.

The fact you have to resort to that argument says it all.....

Gentlemen, please. Let's not squabble over such things. What's done is done and it doesn't really matter. The important thing is the Italians have been eliminated.

A tournament that has no regard for sportsmanship and fair play is no place for the Italians.

nail on head.

Worst WC tournament in living memory

Mate are you guys serious? The Italians wrote the handbook on that stuff. As for the World Cup most pundits have it as the best ever and I agree.
Nice penalty the Greeks got.

Thank you to both sides for a wonderful attacking game of football. Can't help but Barack for both of these sides, great entertainment. Italian side should take note.

Clear penalty: https://vine.co/v/Mtnxa6HXg7p

That's the one I saw! MBB and Paul, see how he just cuts across his line and takes his leg from under him? Well MBB has already agreed anyway.

Amazing how social media is trying to discredit the Greeks by showing replays of the penalty starting from after the foul. :))
