Should be a breeze for the italians but they always seem to struggle in the group stages.
Would be mighty embarassing if they didn't finish anything other than first here..

Yeah, Italy always struggles in the first phase and they have a rather mediocre team this year. I'm thinking Paraguay has a chance to win this group with Italy as second.
Italy vs. Paraguay. This match was splendid indeed! Full of excitement and suspense. I was rooting for Paraguay, but sadly Italy scored a "fluke" goal.

kind of expected that from the opener in this group. Two defensive teams kind of cancelled each other out. italy were far better when they took that guy marchisio off. He's not very good.
Di natale should start up front with pazzini. The way lippi appears to favour these juventus players is going to get us knocked out..
