Lippi has shouldered all the blame...

Italy have tumbled out of the World Cup and coach Marcello Lippi could not explain the disastrous 3-2 loss to Slovakia, leaving them bottom of Group F, and on the early flight home, but he took complete responsibility for the exit.
Antonio Di Natale and Fabio Quagliarella gave the Italians a source of hope after goals from Robert Vittek and Kamil Kopunek had dampened spirits.
And Lippi was left stunned, angry and less than satisfied with la Nazionale's performance. But he blames himself for all the failures.
"Right, ok, I take all responsibility, no excuses. If a team turns up to such an important tournament with terror in their heads, hearts and mind and they fail to express themseleves, then it means that the coach didn't prepare it well," he told the press.
"I am sorry for the fans, the FIGC and everyone. I thought this team would do well, but I have not prepared them well. I expected everything, but not this and the way we played.
"I am sorry that I am closing my job like this. I expected everything, not this.
"I take all responsibility. The choices, the way I presented this team in the last three matches.
"Good luck to my successor and thanks to everyone for the last four years."
