Unless these theorists can link Donadoni to the conspiracy, there isn't much to stand on. I'm a die-hard Italy fan (obviously), but aside from the offside goals, they have no one to blame but themselves. This is a team in transition, and they have the wrong manager to do that.
They should have 4 points right now... but they also should not have fielded the team they did against Holland, and played as poorly as they did.
Incidentally, the Dutch are fielding a questionable side, but it should be enough on paper to beat the Romanians.
