The Italtians played 2 of the 3 games with an extra man for at least a full half - massive advantage. As aresult, they avoid Brazil in the next round. I think they''ll run out of their lucky charms come the later rounds.
At least the Italian theatrics were kept to a minimum today and yes they did play well. Their performance against Ghana was one of the best in the tournament. Palying a man up in two games is still huge.
Cannavaro - Baros isn't a world class threat at 100% fit let alone 75%. So having him in his back pocket really is no big deal.
Regardless, Buffon and Cannavaro can practise their trade in the serie B next year
oh please, Buffon is great but Cech is betterer and greater !!! say what you will but Cech is the best now...i hope that italy will go all the way now that they beat my people
