Looked onside since the defenders foot was actually ahead of Quagliarella, but when you play like garbage for 95% of the tournament, you don't deserve a break. But I guess other angles looked more convincing that it was offside. Maybe another case for instant replay/coach challenge?
Lippi stacked the deck against Italy to the extent that it was really pick your poison, a narrow loss to Slovakia and a depressing early exit that will prompt radical change, or a demolition job by Holland, the gloating of annoying Oranje fans, and the regressive thinking we had a chance, got beat by a top opponent, and that things aren't so gloomy, with many of this dysfunctional cast of characters getting a second swansong in Euro 2012.
