Cannavaro is on his way down, but its very hard to be an effective CB when your wingbacks are as brutal as Dossena and Zambrotta were.

Agreed that its time to blow it up.
Like I mentioned earlier. Most of the big name countries playing the CC don't put too much emphasis on this tournament. Brazil is playing with some guys that might not be there come WC time, same with Italy and Spain. More than anything this is pretty much exhibition. I'm much happier with the way Brazil is looking but there's no true way to judge quality or lack there of at the moment.
