Apart from some players that underperformed... i would blame trap for this. His decitions were not accurated...ad i balme him because some were very obvious, but he didnt wanted to include/exclude some players when it was needed. His preferences killed him aand sunk Italy.
Before the players (some of them) Trapatoni is the great responsible for this exit.
Maybe italy would have been eliminated further by teams like france,Czech,england or portugal which are playing very good...and that could has been acceptable... but not now... because even with our faults..Italy had more than enough to go thorugh.
