Cannavaro and Zambrotta are finished. Legrottaglie is a solid defender, but hardly NT quality, he's good depth for a top team, or a star on a midtable club. He's filling in for Chiellini, the only good young Italian CB, who Juve refused to release, since he's still recovering from injury.

Are you watching this game? It was all Italy for the first 10 minutes but once Brazil calmed down and started playing their game they've been taking it to Italy.
I hate announcers that dub someone 'the greatest goaltender in the world.'
It drives me insane, they said it about Petr Cech in the Euros and then these guys say it about Buffoon. Really? Based on what criteria?
I hear you about the development of new talent, but Brazil is always a mix of whoever is available. No Kaka was a fairly huge blow.
Whats the deal regarding the controversy surrounding Amauri?
