ellis park - the show

excitement, more excitement, extreme excitement!

that's how the match between italy and slovakia ended up. until the last minute, italy fought. they started slow, and led by slovakia 1-0 in the first 25 minutes by a vittek goal, then 2-0 in the second half by another vittek goal , got back to 2-1 by di natale's strike from a loose ball, one goal disallowed for offsite, which could very well be onsite, then another goal disallowed for obvious offsite..... then another goal by slovakia thru their reserve's, kopunek's first touch of the ball from a throw-in.then italy came back strongly, swamping all over the slovakia's goal mouth..... until they got another goal thru the perfectly-placed chip of quagliarrela... and actions continued incessantly by the italians into their opponents' half until the last minute.

and at the end italy went out in the first round.

slaying a giant which you kind of don't like makes one feel like floating in air.
