It seems the soccer gods are taking it easy on aged Italy. They are up against a team that finished third in South American qualifying (Paraguay), a team that's made the World Cup just once before (New Zealand), and a team that's never been there before (Slovakia). Plus, the rapidly aging Azzuri are 3-0 against their group in recent meetings, outscoring them 10-4 as well.
Look for the pasta eaters and Paraguay to put forth paramount performances.
