Half Pint Brawlers on Spike TV.
Italy is no "Midget" team by any stretch of the imagination, I just feel they didnt pick the best squad to take.
They've also earned themselves a reputation, which, in many ways is well deserved. They're a good team, but they're not as good as they like to believe. Scoring their way out of trouble is not going to work, so the 2 instances of sloppy defending has cost them.
They're not looking sharp, is it because its the first game of the tournament, or is this team just not as capable as believed?
