I rather watch miniature Golf than watch the Italian­ team. No entertainment whatsoever just lots of­ defending after miraculously scorring a goal

I would rather watch a soap opera than watch italian­ side play. No entertainment what so ever.

The Italian team is full of old players. They need to­ rejuvenate the team with vibrant and young players so­ as be able to compete at the highest level. It is­ laughable for the Italians to be defeated by an African­ team and be trashed by the Brazilian to 3-0, making­ them to be heading home at the end of group stage. How­ is the mighty falling?

Italy have a great youth prospect coming throu as­ Comment 3 said - i think the heavy defeat to Brazil is­ the best thing possible for Italy as this will shake­ the team up a bit. Thats exactly what cannavaro is at­ aswell, trying to movitate the younger players into­ shineing this season and setting italy up for a good­ world cup. Haha, and yes - pick Del Peiro :)

"Today it is enough for a defender to be tall,­ cute, blonde and a dribbler and they think that makes­ them a good player."

Is this @#$% talking abt­ Santon? If yes he should just stfu

We all see Cannavaro is not the same player this season­ in Real. The sad thing is Italy can't find anybody­ to replace him. Didn't Lippi said his job is­ easier than Capello's because he has 40% - 50%­ Italian players in the league to choose from? If­ there's not enough quality, you have nobody to­ choose from.

Roma should have knocked out Arsenal from the Champions­ League if Baptista had kept that shot down, and­ Juventus lost only 3-2 agg. with 1 man down against­ Chelsea for half the return fixture (a lot better than­ Liverpool did). It wasn't a terrible champions­ league really, they were just a bit worse.

The actual­ national team is just weak. Don't pick players that­ aren't ready to perform (Toni, Gattuso, Pirlo,­ Zambrotta, Cannavaro). Quagliarella never got a chance,­ Pepe was used too late, Iaquinta was played out of­ position and Santon was never picked. I think Rossi did­ well (in one game, but hey that's better than­ nothing), as did Montolivo. There's hope, but­ unfortunately there's one VERY stubborn manager.­ Drop Toni and select Del Piero!!

Best quote ever, "There are no more Tottis,­ Baggios or Del Pieros." Over the past few World­ Cups, Italy has always had a "hero"­ championing their side and taking the blame if they­ failed. There is noone even close to that on the­ current squad, and their title was won by their defense­ in 06. Now its a bunch of old farts spread out on the­ pitch. If they show up with this group to the next­ World Cup they won't make it past the group stage.­ This may be a lot of pressure to add on the youngsters­ but they need to start building the team around­ Giuseppi Rossi, he's far and away their biggest­ talent.

yay but experience used to be the way of the­ game...these days the game has evolved, you no longer­ need a team full of 30 somethings with 100caps­ each

what good is 8 or 9 34/35+ year olds in­ international football, up against younger fitter and­ most definatley faster players
whilst experience does­ help at times, most the domestic leagues and­ international team play with fast players, rather than­ slow experienced ones...this is why the likes of ac­ milan and the italian national team struggled

lets­ hope ancelotti brings them all to chelsea....that'd­ be a laugh
