very good game. italy played with no urgency till the last 15-20 mins. one of their goals was denied incorrectly, I believe. The ball appeared to have crossed the goal line.

Was switching channels between this and paraguay match :(

Offsides was actually correct call although it was like just by an inch or so. There was an earlier shot which escaped the keeper, was blocked by a slovakian defender inside the goal line. The ball crossed the line, commentators were saying they were not sure if the ball fully got inside the goal line, I think it did. Was a very unfair call. Would have made it 1-1 I think and then it could have been a different game.
