I'm not sure Criscito is that big a loss. Maybe he's improved a bit now but he was HORRIBLE in the 2010 World Cup. Might be Italy's worse ever left back for a country rich in tradition of left backs.

Back in 82, can you imagine the if the media was the way it is now? Italy manager not only selects Paulo Rossi to the national team after not playing at all for 2 year but he starts him! For FOUR Games where he was a passenger. 3 draws (Peru, Poland and Cameroon) and a 2-1 win over Argentina.

So he starts him AGAIN against the do-or-die game against Brazil. The unstoppable 82 Brazil team. The media must have thought the manager was nuts or that Rossi bribed HIM!
