Stop being biased. If Italy had won this World Cup scoring 8 goals you'd be all over them no matter how they played. So why does Spain get special treatment? As was said earlier, 3 of the most outrageous dives in the tournament.
Biased? You seem to have a big case of sour grapes.

It's simplistic to look at goals for and against. How about quality of opponent? Possession?

Italy was outplayed by USA, AUS and FRA last time IMO. SPA dominated every game they played, even the game they lost to SUI.

Not even close. SPA 2010 >>> ITA 2006

Most commentators are saying SPA is the deserving champion. This was not clear in 2006. ITA had to beat FRA on penalty kicks.

Italy wrote the book on diving.

More proof? I got out-thanked on you 6-1 on this point!
