What would happen if they went through all 11 players and subs without scoring? Would it come down to the physios and managers?

Then the decision goes to this man...

The Italian media are having a field day with this. Not only are they facepalming that Italy couldn't make it out of the group, allowing Uruguay and Costa Rica to beat them, but also that they could've got Greece in the next round. If the team would've done their job it could've been plain sailing into the Quarter Finals. But they didn't, and here we are...

could've would've could've should've etc etc..

BBC;

Stephen Holt: South American nations used to have a reputation for dodgy keepers but they've produced the two best at this World Cup. Guillermo Ochoa and Keylor Navas.

Quick geography lesson for this guy?

Indeed. Italian media loves to go on about the what ifs and not actually live in reality. They were moaning earlier about not getting a water break in the Costa Rica game when Holland and Mexico got one. Because that was totally going to change the face of the game.

Costa Rica need to get everyone behind the ball and hope for penalties, half the team look completely fucked.

Half the Greece team is over 60 but they're still going. Campbell couldn't run for a bus at the moment lol.

The 3 highest paid managers at the world cup all went out in the group stage, Capello, Prandelli and Hodgson
Capello is a non-entity in International football. He's a gun for hire too, like Sven. Our group was tough. I think it could have ended up in any order really. Well obviously, considering how it went.

Not really, our group was easier than a couple

England would have struggled in group A, B, E and G had they swapped with the top seed

Navas makes a save and then wants to have a 5 minute kip!
