For all intents and purposes : Italy can be regarded as a World Cup regular (as well : as the drama usually surrounding it!) Italy doesn't do anything without drama and controversy, and the people are pretty good a laughing about it. That's what makes it a nice country :-) -- ciao, Bruce drift wave turbulence: http://www.rzg.mpg.de/~bds/

They still would have : been able to make it through the play-offs. Ah yes, minor point, but it was true for 2009/2010 as well. I don't imagine they would have lost to Costa Rica. In 1985 who were they to play? Australia? -- ciao, Bruce drift wave turbulence: http://www.rzg.mpg.de/~bds/

The 2006 German loss to Italy was definitely a loss. I thought they used the 90-minutes result when keeping records? Otherwise all other draw results are skewed. -- ciao, Bruce drift wave turbulence: http://www.rzg.mpg.de/~bds/

Quite impressive that smaller countries are doing so well. I suspect it is a testimony of how footballing culture makes up for smaller talent pool. |
