Italy 2010
意大利（2010年）
Four years on from the drama of their penalty shootout win in the 2006 final against France, Italy flew to South Africa with a strong squad intent on defending their crown.
在2006年戏剧性通过点球决战在决赛中战胜法国四年后，阵容整齐的意大利飞往南非，期待卫冕。
Drawn in a seemingly easy group with Paraguay, New Zealand and Slovakia, pundits tipped Italy to saunter into the knockout stages.
他们被分在了一个看似轻松的小组，对手分别是巴拉圭、新西兰和斯洛文尼亚。专家们均认为意大利轻松挺进淘汰赛。
How wrong they were.
可是他们都大错特错了。
After being held to 1-1 draws by Paraguay and New Zealand, they lost 3-2 in their final group game to Slovakia, becoming the third nation to be eliminated in the first round as reigning champions.
在先后被巴拉圭和新西兰1:1逼平后，他们在小组赛最后一场比赛中以2:3输给了斯洛伐克队，成为第三支在第一轮就被淘汰出局的卫冕冠军。
