Who would have expected that Italy is unable to win against New Zealand? Obviously they had to play against eleven Kiwis plus one referee (no, make that three), but still ...
Anyway, isn't it strange how the mighty Italian team couldn't win against the team which many considered being the weakest one of the whole tournament after North Korea, even though (for once) trying to score and not to catenaccio their way through to the next round?
And I find it even stranger that, considering performance so far, actually the Slovak team might be the weakest of them all, safe for North Korea. As ever, the turtle would not agree with me here, she claims that the prize for the weakest team - except for North Korea - should be awarded to Honduras. We shall see, but not today when Ivory Coast will play Brazil: finally a match I am looking forward to.
