Now that was funny. At the end of the 1- 1 draw between the Italy/ Mexico match, both teams clinched the final round and already knew the result of the other group match. So, they took the air out of the ball and just killed time in stopage. with almost a minute left of mexico safely passing it around the horn, the ref finally blew the whistle and did the sign of the cross in relief that it was over.
