The best bet is "Method of Goal" for Italy, by a penalty.

Are you still going on about the Italy penalty shot? Come on man, if you know soccer you know that every player from every nation dive regardless. If a player is tugging on your jersey in the box isn't it smart to just fall down and draw the penalty kick? Its part of the game and I know its painful to watch sometimes. Whats the difference between a soccer player diving and a NBA player driving to the hoop and a 7 foot 300 pound black guy stands in the way and falls over to draw the charge? I don't even think a dump truck could knock over guys like Shaq and Howard but they still fall over to draw the charge because ITS PART OF THE GAME.

I sure hope so. Germany and England both had their little stumble in the group stage and both made it to the Round of 16. Italy will put their shit together for tomorrows game. Paraguay will finish first and Italy second. It will put them in a match-up in the Sweet Sixteen against Holland though

A convincing win imo would be 2-0 Italy. If they even trail in this game at any point i'll break something
