It did not appear so.The match appeared to be played in the right spirit.Italy could have qualified by winning by a 3 goal margin or better in their match. If they depended on the outcome of Denmark vs Sweden match to advance then they did not deserve to reach the next round.
Today another 3 times world champion Germany will face elimination if they lose to Czeck Republic. Like Italy, Germany too have failed to win any match so far in this tournament.
