That's it.
Here's why Italy didn't deserve to win - they would have lost to Australia if not for a lucky call / stupid move (depending on how you saw it). Italy was a man down, about to go into a 30 minute overtime against a team that had outplayed them the entire game. If not for the lucky PK call, Italy would have lost to Australia. Hell, they tied the US, and we played terribly. That is why Italy doesn't deserve to win.
