Indeed it was. Without it, Italy would have been on a high and lost in the quarter finals or something.
The USA game was just what they needed to bring them to ground and make Italy mount a good World Cup challenge. Who knows, maybe that's what will make them capable of winning the cup.
OK, sure, that was the case. And I haven't been much of a fan of Inzaghi ever since, and specially when he went to Milan.
However, I think he's right for the job. All the personal crap has to be put aside and the win achieved. Period.
Buffon
Oddo - Nesta - Cannavaro - Zambrotta
Camoranesi - Pirlo - Gattuso
Totti
Inzaghi - Del Piero
I want to see Del Piero and Inzaghi up front, just like the good old days at Juve.
I want a win.
