I kind of hope Italy doesn't win this tournament with the fossils and never-weres. They need to infuse a lot more youth, badly.

Yeah Italy played much better when Lippi took off those two gascans named Gatusso and Camoranesi.
They need to start Rossi on the left instead of the useless Iaquinta.
I think the problem is this tournament isn't that important and the U-21s are playing in the U-21s tomorrow!

It's not really an overwhelming tournament. We'll probably get 4 good matches.
Italy-Brazil, the two semis and the final.
It's just something fun for a quiet summer and for us to preview the new stadiums for next year.
Here are the Brazil-Egypt highlights:
I think I'm getting used to those 40000 bumblebees
