Group F Results: Italy say "Arrivederci" and Paraguay begin to make history

Current champion Italy just lost to Slovakia 3-2 and finished their worst World Cup performance in 36 years. Even with superstars like Fabio Cannavaro and Andrea Pirlo, the Italian squad could not achieve a single victory in South Africa and was eliminated in the first round.

The Italian disaster begun with a 1-1 draw with Paraguay, and it grow bigger with another draw with New Zealand. In the other side, the Paraguayan squad got three vital points against Slovakia, so their draws against the "Azurris" and the "All Whites" were enough to win the zone.

Even though Marcelo Lippi's team were strong favorites, they will be remembered for this incredible fail. This group also let us see an almost amateur team playing like pros - New Zealand - and proving that there is no "small team" anymore. The Group F positions are:

Slovakia	3	1	1	1	4	5	4
