Even if you think it was fixed (I do not... at least for the first 88 minutes), it's a moot point. Italy lost before the game was even played. They put themselves in a position they earned and deserved.
Italy should have made it through without "charity" from Sweden or Denmark, but they allowed themselves to be in a position where they needed it. So they didn't get that charity -- I can't blame Sweden or Denmark for that. And yet when everything was on the line, Italy barely got past Bulgaria.
The picture is clear as day.
