2010 FIFA World Cup Group F

[1] The group consisted of 2006 winner Italy, Paraguay, New Zealand and Slovakia.

Italy and Paraguay previously met in the first round of the 1950 tournament, with Italy winning 2–0; neither qualified for the next round.

New Zealand ended up being the only unbeaten team at this World Cup, thanks in part to eventual champions Spain losing to Switzerland in their Group H game.

Italy placed last, making it the first time since 1974 that the Italians did not advance beyond the first round.
