Red Alert wrote:Italy lacked the hunger needed so Suarez, naturally it seems, took the iniative and kicked them out. Move on. Italy didn't deserve to go through the group stages with the performances they put in anyway.

Neither did Uruguay. Terrible performance outclassed by Costa Rica even more than Italy was, followed by a performance against England that was defined mostly by Suarez being a good finisher and being able to stop a mediocre English team (even then, Rooney missed two sitters) and scraped by Italy in a game where both teams were...average at best.

They'll go out next round, as Italy probably would have.

The only impressive team from the group was Costa Rica Laughing

hats off to them though.

Italy is never that good in the group though, it's a team whose entire reputation is built on it's prowess in the later stages of tournaments. Once we are out of the group we are very tough to beat.

Although it's true that the England game aside we played absolutely awfull in this group (you could infact argue we didn't play at all...) it's also true that in this game we never looked like conceding until the red card; which for us was enough.

why some of england media & fan always overconfident in their team chances in almost every tournament even before the kickoff but end up exit in the embarrassing way?

there was no expectation this time around, no one though England were contenders... getting out of the group stage would have been great for most English people

but they did worse then people expect that

In slow motion, anything can be produced as a more viable card in any spectrum of officiating. A 'stomp' is your Tibial condial compressing to actually produce a kick against your own weight and onto a certain object. In the case of Marchisio, having your calf being intercepted by an oncoming player in the intention of winning the ball, is NOT a Red Card in any dimension, a straight yellow justifiable yet of course this visually impaired Mexican felt entitled to produce a decision that completely changed Italia's plan upside-down.

Subsequently, Luis Suarez with his third reaction to seeking piquant flavour in an opposition individual, was ignored despite Cheillini clearly producing evidence of bite marks that even a Badger would struggle to perform.

No comment on that, as a Liverpool supporter I am used to such antics from this enigma, as I could not defend him vs Ivanovic nor can I defend him now.

In terms of our World Cup; even in my most morose state I am only unhappy with our performance versus Costa Rica as quite frankly tonight was a case of pure misfortune and a lot of hindsight will be causing impulse to make our performances a lot worse than what they were.

I did not, could not defend Espana yet I hope the more level-headed ones will not see this as the end of the world for us.

Both my nations out in the group stages in the worst possible fashion. Football can go *bleep* itself.

I thought it would have been the most amusing WC, but OMG what a disappointment, in a WC basically nice to look

- Costa Rica : the winner of group . And I think to have said all with this.
They deserved it, but they are always an average NT.
Simply they will TRY sometimes to play football . The others 3 not.minimum requisites.
They will be knocked out at 16

- Uruguay . Scrub. Nothing to see with past Uruguay . Negative impressions were confirmed.
It passed just because Italy and England were even worse than it . But it was a fight between scrub NTs

- Italy . The most ppl thought to watch an Italy similar to Euro2012 , after the first match expecially . total collapse.

NO SHOTS ON TARGET in last 2 matches. I don't remind a similar thing.

- England : 1 point, it was not even able to win against Costa Rica and it have made looking great the Italy.

for me this group made the WC more interesting. Costa Rica :bow:

Specially now that Italy are knocked out of WC

Its quite amazing Suarez, to have gone through what he did in England and then STILL to bite again, lol! Maybe hes just one of those crazy personalities. A lot of geniuses and people who are great at what they do in one aspect, in this case football, is a nut case in normal life, quite common Razz
