    This ref won't stop the match until they have four injury minutes of actual play. That's the way it should be.

    Final: Slovakia 3, Italy 2. Arrivederci Italia, the 2006 World Cup champions are history. Why didn’t they play like this from the start?

    Italy is too good to go out like this even with an older squad.

    I expect the Netherlands to have some trouble – and to ultimately eliminate Slovakia.

    Agreed, I wasn't a fan of the extra few seconds on the ground at the end.

    Well sure but they fought for what, 20 minutes? After not fighting for 250?

    Incredible performance by Slovakia. I'm so glad Italy is out, awful roster decisions by Italy and even worse performances by the players. Bye Lippi!

    Rotten fruit and possibly dung await the Azzuri.

    He was adding time for the sub and the Slovakians lying on the ground, as he should have.

    Well reffed game overall - the Italians will have questions about the line clearance and the offside, but I think that both were the right call.

    That's what they get for not trying until they were down 2 -nil in the 70th

    I'm not sure that goal called offside was indeed offside, to be honest.
