And to make it even better (for us) the new players are not even close to good old Italy's material. I mean, Criscito, Santacroce, Ranocchia in defense is nothing. Bunch of players with 'potential'. They lost and they will lose all their leaders. You can't even compare it to Grosso - Canna - Nesta - Zambrotta
In the midfield they will have De Rossi who is great. Camo to retire, they will lose a lot. About Pirlo, even if he stays there I wouldn't mind. He's not the old self anymore.
In attack there's Gila, Pazzini, Rossi. I don't rate any of those that much, especially the poachers.
I don't know, the new generation of Italy is not a threat IMO. I don't think they can reach top with those players.
