Only real issue in the Italians play in the first half has been their shoddy marking on set pieces.
De Rossi should be ashamed of himself at the half, ridiculous dive on what would have been a good scoring chance had he stayed on his feet. Then add that to terrible marking on the Paraguay goal.

yeah that didn't make sense. Why would he dive if he running into the box for a good opportunity. This mexican ref is very lenient when it comes to fouls and won't get tricked into dives. He lets the play continue.
Overall I thought Italy played ok.. but Paraguay defense has been excellent.
