Italy 2, Ghana 0

This game showed a more offensive-minded Italy than we've seen in recent World Cup appearances. It paid off here, as they won comfortably in the end, but more thanks to a crucial error in Ghana's defence than any real domination at either end of the field.

Italy was, of course, the better team, but Ghana looked dangerous as well and threatened late to tie the game. A good game, and difficult to say how the USA will deal with either of these capable opponents.

Goal scorers:

Andrea Pirlo (40'), Italy (1-0)
Vincenzo Iaquinta (83'), Italy (2-0)

Both those teams looked good. The U.S. is fucked.

Someone signed in as Snake made that last comment. But it wasn't Snake, because I'm Snake and I didn't do it. Who dares to pass themselves off as me?
