Italy had one tough *** time against a team they should have easily handled, IF Italy was as good as everyone thinks they are.
Diving, crying and lack of talent can only get you so far. They were lucky to even pull out a victory today.
Forza Azzurri? Not in this World Cup.

The odds of Ghana winning were slim to none.
Face it, the Italians are making it seem like they just beat Brazil. Ghana may have been strong in the African cup, but the African cup is not the World Cup. The Czechs will prove worthy competition against the Italian team.
No one has ever said that Italy does not deserve "credit where it's due" as you put it. Italy is simply too cocky, and suffers the same fate as the big teams in the leagues like Chelse. Too much talent, too much pride.
Look at Christiano in Portugal. All he did was complain all game that no one passed to him.
Besides, when was the last time Italy won the world cup?

Italia e vero.
All you ppl do is yap.
How about Ecuador beating Poland, or England barely beating Paraguay. It had to go off a player from Paraguay for them to even get a goal.
A win is a win. First game means everything. If Italy lost, this yap fest would have been worse.
FORZA ITALIA.

There is aboslutely no hate for Italy.
Just because our opinions on the Italian team don't agree with your's doesn't make it true that we're "blatantly" hating on Italy. Ya'll need to stop taking our words so offensively. I simply don't think they'll do well but I'm pumped to be proven wrong.

Again, there is no hate on Italy. The game with England and Paraguay was horrible. England should have done much better, yes. But you do NOT see dozens of English people on the streets running around with English flags waving them in your face, screaming "GO ENGLAND WOOOOO EVERYONE ELSE SUCKS." Everywhere, all day.
Please.
Ecuador and and Poland? Yes, Poland should have won, but so should have Sweden. The Trini's are the ones who should be running around on the streets after game one. What they did was a huge achievement. Analysts were predicting ridiculous scored in favour of the Swedes.
The funny part is, what did the Italian coach himself say in an interview about his strategy for this year's World Cup? "We have to keep our mouths shut and just play Soccer." It was on AM 590.
No one is doubting Italy's skills as a Soccer team, but rather people critisize the way the Italians look at themselves and talk about themselves in the world of Soccer.
