LOOK we are NEVER gonna know if it was fixed or not. My personal opinion it did look like it was fixed, but whether it was or not will not be known. That does not mean that I would go on blaming the Scandinavians for Italy's exit. We all know it's not their fault we didn't get to the QF, it was our own fault.
Whether people like Italians or not, whether the game was fixed or not, whether roteiro is a shit ball or not, whether nike boots really suck or not, wether totti is an idiot or not, whether buffon is god of goalkeepers or not, whatever it is, we have to work our way to the quarterfinals, facing and overcoming any obstacle that comes in our way. and that's just what we didn't do. now we pay for it.
