Defending champion
Italy was eliminated Thursday from the World Cup with a humbling 3-2 loss to Slovakia, which advanced.
Slovakia finished second in Group F to Paraguay. The Italians were last, the first time they’ve ever finished at the bottom of an opening-round group.
For the third consecutive game, the Azzurri allowed an early goal and this time they never recovered.
