Italian Media: Ancelotti Remains Our Last Representative at the World Cup

Following Uzbekistan's elimination, Fabio Cannavaro also exited the World Cup, mirroring Vincenzo Montella, whose Turkey side crashed out after just two matches. This leaves Carlo Ancelotti as Italy's sole representative in the tournament, with his Brazil team topping their group ahead of Morocco, Scotland, and Haiti, as noted in Italy. Tomorrow, the "Seleção Brasileira" will face Japan in the Round of 16.

However, three players born on the peninsula remain: Alessandro Circati of Australia; Marcus Thuram, born in Parma and son of legendary French defender Lilian Thuram; and Giuliano Simeone, born in Rome during his father Diego Simeone's tenure at Lazio, the Italians also recall.
