Italy was like that in some years to their detriment I thought. In the Baggio years especially they had the talent but were too busy flopping around and complaining.
Italian football when played properly can be quite stunning to watch with their defending and counter-attacking speed. But that is too rare cause they're busy diving and putting 10 men behind the ball.
In 2006 they actually played with some heart instead of flopping around and hey it worked, they won! We'll see how they are this year.
