Italy played far better than I expected...specially in the 2nd half. After watching their 'friendly' match against Mexico last week where Mexico won convincingly by 2-1, I was expecting this would be a 1-0 or 2-0 final scoreline in favor of Paraguay. I'm hoping that Azzurri will be in the 2nd round but the matter is whether they can become the Group champion or not. Cause if they advance as 2nd in Group F then we're now quite sure that they'll face Netherlands! And that will be really tough challenge for them considering their team standards at the moment.
