it is not about creating chances, france created more chances in WC final but did they win the cup..no! we r the WC winners and we can even beat Lithuania at home...thats wrong.
Lithuanina did what? Good 20 minutes of football and than they sat back. Italy created the chances ie: we easily could have scored, but the finishing was off. That doesn't mean the team played like shit. Very deceptive result. Lithuania didn't threaten Italy once during the 2nd half, and were reserved to shots from far away.

Inzaghi's sitter was a clear indication of the game, 9/10 he would have score. Unlucky.

Why aren't any players getting blamed for this?

Donadoni resting on WC laurels? HE WASN'T EVEN PART OF THE WORLD CUP, FFS.

no hes just expecting to just set out what he thinks is the best team and let the players do the work.

theres no emptiness since donadoni has taken over, no passion, nobody is proud of wearing that shirt anymore. im sorry lippi left, but thats the figc's fault.

What are you on about no passion? Nobody proud to wear the shirt? What, they won the World Cup, and now no one wants to play for them anymore? :D

Saved our asses? haha, plz, those chances Lithuania had were a jk to a goalie as good as Buffon. There were 2 saves where on replay, they were clearly going out, but he just jumped to make sure.

Of course for Lithuania this is a victory, and no doubt their supporters will gloat even though u only played 20 min of good football, while Italy handled the other 70, but were unlucky in their finishing ie: 9 times out of 10 Inzaghi would have scored on 2 of those chances, especially the open net.

Yes, THE PLAYERS, not the coach. This exactly what Cannavaro himself was worried about. To pin it on the coach is just the usual cop out we use in sport.
