Even when being a friendly, the way they are playing is terribad.... And this can pretty much translate to an official game.

They cannot just be ok with mediocrity like this.

People saying Italy are playing well are wrong. Italy are playing well like Celtic played well against us. Sure, they got possession, but what are they doing with it? Not much. There's been maybe 3 or 4 good chances but all were pretty routine for a good gk. Most of all, Italy has been stupid in the way they've been pressing, they've left way to much space and too many men forward, allowing Brazil to counter and score like they have been.
That's the way I see it at least.

Defense isn't great but Italy don't have the squad to play good catennacio so CP has to play daring. It's still good enough to take care of the likes of Germany.

osvaldo starting makes no sense you have el shar and balo who play together club level so you have two strikers who now how to work with eachother but instead you opt for a roma fcker whos in and out of the national team depending on form. especially playing brazil youd think we'd put our fastest foirwards on considering brazil italy isnt exactly italy germany where physical strength isnt going to be the biggest factor

i think italy are playing well enough where 2-0 is a veeeeeeeeeery flattering score line for brazil two mistakes from a player who will not see the field if chiellini was there. Our forwards and mids need to be smarter in the final third and enouigh of these 25 yarders from montolivo.

Before the goals, they were getting occasions left and right.

Nah Italy actually got in behind Brazil's defences 3 or 4 times and had some very good chances, Celtic barely had a decent chance against us at home (just 30 meter potshots and headers)

Italy were playing very well in the opening 25 mins. Good signs, but they are still very susceptible to counters.
