Slovakia back in form sending Italy outside the football world cup in 2010 according to the score 3-2 at Ellis Park in Johannesburg, the biggest shock of the tournament so far.

Italian defending champions, and although it's difficult to repeat (only Italy in 1934 and 1938 and Brazil in 1958 and 1962 have done so), is another thing to go out in the first round.

For Slovakia, which led 1-0 at halftime, Robert Vittek scored his second goal in the 73rd minute. The teams then traded goals in the 81st (Antonio DiNatale), 89th (Kamil Kopunek) and 92nd (Fabio Quagliarella). Paraguay and Slovakia qualify from Group F, and will meet their counterparts from Group G in the Round of 16. You can follow the Group E games, Denmark-Japan and Cameroon-Netherlands, here, at 2:30 p.m. Eastern time.


Clearly, they missed Pirlo. But a team of their stature should be able to overcome the loss of one player, even a star like Pirlo. Ask Ghana, who have qualified for the next round without Michael Essien, or Germany, who did it without Michael Ballack. The Italians did finally score a few goals (unlike the French, the other finalists from 2006, who scored only one in three games) — but their defending was shoddy; their midfield sluggish and unimaginative, and their forwards were below par. I leave it to others to analyze why that is, but there you have it.
