Sport is a mixture of skill and luck and this Italian team are simply the luckiest team ever. In the first game against Ghana, Ghana had two clear penalties not given. Against the USA they were very fortunate not to loose against the Americans who were easily the better team for 70 minutes. In the third game against the Czech Republic, the Czechs had a player sent off far too harshly.
They then got probably the easiest group of 16 draw ever as their reward: against Australia they had to dive in the area to get a undeserved penalty - the celebrations of the Italian players showed they knew it was a cheat. AND THEN! the easiest of Quarter Finals ever against Ukraine who were never going to score if they played for months. They took two hours to score against a weak and inexperienced German defence to get to the final. And the final....well...a second clear penalty not given, Viera!... and who knows what they did to Zidane. In the end they beat one team in normal time fairly - Ukraine
