It was really enjoyable seeing the Italy side drop out of the world cup today, and deservedly so. After decades of acting and faking injuries, penalties and altogether unattractive and snotty football, they finally got to taste some of their own medicine, and I enjoyed every minute of it. Kudos to the Slovakians for keeping the game on a top level where they could have opted for… well, cattenacio or whatever that abysmal “style” of football is called the Italians apparently enjoy so much.

Here’s hoping for a new italian team for the next international competition that resorts less to acting and playing foul like generations of their forefathers did, and if that hope comes true, I honestly wish them all the best.
