Sebi, that was a 2nd yellow. FIFA are as corrupt as can be and the WC is an obvious joke, but that was a 2nd yellow. The Czechs wouldn't have won anyway.
Totti got 5,5 in la gazzetta... I would have given him 3. You can mishit once, but a 2nd ridiculous "cucchiaio" and a 3rd awful shot is too much. Get that joke out of the national team ASAP, he's making it a lot harder for the 10 other players.
I think Ghana have a good chance against Brazil. No matter what everyone says, Brazil's fullbacks are only okay because of their physical presence and Brazil will insist on Ronaldo no matter what.
I'm torn. I'd like to see Ghana go through as I like their team, but at the same time a US win with a little margin would make things very easy for Italy.
You can discuss whether or not Gilardino should play instead of Inzaghi, but other than Lippi hasn't gotten any other options than that formation. Del Piero is clearly more dangerous than Totti and Perrotta is out, so this is the way Lippi will go.
