Not really diving on the Italians part because the elbows and fouls were there, but a lot of the play acting after the fouls. I am Italian and have to say the rolling around on the ground, clutching the face is terrible today.
First goal was offside from the flick on (really that goal is all Cannavaro sucking), but the soft penalty call (which is still a penalty just not always called) kinda levels it out a little bit.
Should be a good game in the second half, Italy seemed to wake up in the last 20 and know they need to win, preferably by 2+, to keep pace with Paraguay.
