Group F featured much lower-event play than any of the other groups so far, setting lows in both passes per game and shots per game. But with a very high shooting percentage, the goal-scoring rate in this group was the same as for the tournament on the whole:
| Passes/G | Weighted | Avg | Shots/G | Goals/G | Shot% | |
| Group F | 322 | 66.75 | 20.8 | 8.83 | 1.08 | 12.26 |
| Overall | 347 | 74.29 | 21.4 | 10.69 | 1.05 | 9.80 |
It's hardly any consolation, but Italy controlled the play in their games, in fact, more so than any team other than Argentina so far:
| Passes | For | Weighted | Vs | Weighted | % of Pass |
| Paraguay | 995 | 204.2 | 936 | 190.3 | 51.5 |
| Slovakia | 1003 | 196.8 | 962 | 207.7 | 51.0 |
| New Zealand | 693 | 141.2 | 1254 | 257.7 | 35.6 |
| Italy | 1168 | 258.8 | 707 | 145.3 | 62.3 |
Not only that, but Italy also substantially outshot its opponents – but sometimes the ball doesn't bounce your way. Italy saw the most extreme version of that truism, allowing five goals on just 20 shots:
| Shots F | Goals | Sh% | Shots A | Goals | Sh% | |
| Paraguay | 31 | 3 | 9.68 | 13 | 1 | 7.69 |
| Slovakia | 25 | 4 | 16.00 | 31 | 5 | 16.13 |
| New Zealand | 15 | 2 | 13.33 | 42 | 2 | 4.76 |
| Italy | 35 | 4 | 11.43 | 20 | 5 | 25.00 |
