Pathetic, yeah. But you know, when it counts, we usually are hard to defeat.

ya that was pathetic. Well this is no major tourney, but it still counts. I'm sure Italy would like to win this. Now advancing out of the group will be tough.

Fixed.

Is that supposed to make you feel better?

Italy should be beating Egypt and didn't. End of story. An embarrassment. Well embarrassment is harsh.

At least Antonio has the right sort of attitude and doesn't think along the lines of "but but but Brazil conceded 3 too!!".

Childish analogy.

Italy is playing really bad at the moment. It all started when we faced Brazil, in a friendly, a couple of months ago. We had the record of straight games without a loss, and Brazil destroyed us. I think we lost the cool that day, and we still have the pressure on us cause it was like a cold shower for us. People started to doubt our qualities, and probably the players are feeling those critics too. Plus we are coming from the failure of Euro 2008 when The Nederlands and Spain destroyed us too. We're in a problematic situation, emotionally speaking. I have no problems admitting it. Next game vs Brazil will be so fucking important for us. Not for the Tournament (we couldn't care less about it, we are the World Champions!), but for our morale. Let's see how players respond.

Nothing to say. It was well deserved. And i can go to sleep pretty relaxed now, cause at least we will not get destroyed by Spain too. I think Lippi said it best: "We are that wack, at the moment". Let's admit it and let's change it all. I mean 3 years ago we were on top of the world and Spain and Brazil were both complete failures. Now it's looking the opposite. This happens. But we can improve too, at least i hope so.

^The defense is what would worry me the most.

Cannavaro was been the best defender or WC06, and Chiellini the best defender of Euro08.
Chiellini is simply out of form (but he's still 24..), while Cannavaro is 36 and he looks like he's done (but he looked good against Egypt.. i don't know. Both the guys will play in Juventus anyway, will find a good chemistry).
On the left we have Santon who looks like one of the top-3 prospects in Europe in his role, and on the right we have Motta who played a great season (you might remember him in the double-games against Arsenal..) and who's still 22.
Lippi is just using Zambrotta (he's done) and Dossena (he's garbage) for no fucking reason.

^I've heard about Santon. A good friend of mine actually plays in Italy (he's one of my best friends, we are from Toronto, Canada) and he never shuts up about Santon  :laugh:

Cannavaro is 36?  :o WOW, he is definitely finished.

Did Lippi really use the word "wack" ?

I don't know if it's the right word. "We're not competitive". Something like that. He's saying he'll probably change a lot of players now.
