I notice that most teams have a very bad record against Italy, they're just so good throughout history. They're not 4 time World Champs for nothing.
The only two teams I remember giving Italy trouble are France (knocked them out of 1986 and 1998 world cup and euro 2000) and surprisingly Russia or old CCCP (beat Italy in WC 66 and Euro 88) Italy beat CCCP on a coin toss in 68 to win their only ever Euro. There was that playoff in the snow in 97 that Italy barely survived.
