Group F is also shaping up brilliantly with Italy and New Zealand drawing their match 1-1. Paraguay is sitting pretty with 4 points from two matches with a match to go against New Zealand. Italy would need to slug it out with Slovakia to make it to the next round.
My two qualifiers from this group are Paraguay and Italy. Yes, I expect Italy to win their last match against Slovakia and Newzealand to either draw or lose their match.
What is your opinions on this group?
Cheers!

It is very interesting to see who would go to the knockout stage from this group. Paraguay lead the table with 4 points followed by Italy and New Zealand with 2 points each. Slovakia come last with one points.
The competition still open to every team with only Paraguay has a upper hand. I think Paraguay would have no problem to beat New Zealand if they play like the way they play against Slovakia.
SO, it would be Italy and Slovakia would fight for the other slot for the knockout stage. My bet would be on Slovakia.

So, my prediction is correct about Italy and Slovakia. I think it is time for Italy to make a drastic change in their players. They should give more exposure to their younger players to gain experiences and try to bring glory to their country. Players like Cannavaro, Gattuso and Pirlo should not be in South Africa. They were too old to and even though they have a lot of experiences but they lack of stamina and pace.

I hoped Italy was going to win today 
Now I have my doubts that they will the next one either

I think that it was a fantastic draw for New Zealand, probably the biggest shock of the world cup so far. Paraguay looked good earlier on in beating Slovakia and i think that they will top the group with Italy scraping through in second place.

For our country I would like to have Italy to come 2nd place, since they're really strong and would be a pain to go against. I would say that Italy and Slovakia would come out to the finals since their history is pretty good.
