Robert Vittek: Player who sent Italy to ignominy

Robert Vittek is not by any stretch of the imagination, a household name. But he has three goals in this World Cup, the same as Gonzalo Higuain, a name instantly recognizable. None bigger than the two he scored today which sparked Slovakia to the group of sixteen and sent the Azzurri crashing out to their worst World Cup showing since 1974.
