It would take a pretty crazy final day to see Italy on top now, where they would have put their fate at least somewhat in their hands with a point.

Yup but I don't think the Italians really believe they can beat Uruguay so better to go in just needing a draw than having to win. To a so-called big team like Italy, 1st or 2nd doesn't really matter.
It was really hot, don't think they could take a chance going to the draw.
