What an embarrassing world cup for us. Lippi is to blame for this for expecting guys like cannavaro, zambrotta, gattuso and buffon to carry us through another world cup.
Hopefully prandelli coming in should see changes because they are badly needed.

What I find really hard to believe as it seems is that in Italy their isn't enough young talent? The teams average age is historic and playing against these youngsters [Spain, Germany, Ghana, Netherlands, etc.], well you need players with super efficient engine's
But in futbol anything is possible, I'm thinking that the team ultimately lost their winning touch for this WC. In my opinion they seemed cocky and lazy.

To be fair, the worst thing that could have happened to Italy was Pirlo's injury. Montolivo's game was beyond shit during the whole World Cup. Notice how Italy's game changed immediately when Pirlo went in. Not sending him in after the halftime break was a stupid, stupid move by Lippi.

Did you even watch the game or are you just talking out or your ass? Old and slow or not he still is the brains behind the Italian squad and he proved it with the few minutes he was given. Had he gone in earlier, I think Italy could have even won the match.
