Zambro does not look good to me tonight. Too many turnovers. Caught too often switching sides running backwards.

OP
Lets stop the melodrama, likes of Pepe and such are poor, but Gila and Di Natale cant do anything because that midfield is being walked over, and the only service the attack gets is 40m crosses from Zambrotta, who ballons it like he is taking his frustrations on the ball after being owned real hard in defence.
De Rossi tries, and Pirlo except when he has been losing the ball too much, has been decent in midfield, the one making the good passes that is necessary, together with Grosso that its allways class for the NT. Montolivo is total ghost and seems to be hiding from the ball. You could see Pirlo's issue was he has no alternative to pass, De Rossi to make himself available, but its hard, and his only options are open up for the fullbacks, who make crosses to a stacked box.
The defence is laughable, because neither Legro, Zambro and ESPECIALLY Canna are good enough defensively, its bit pathetic.
I would defenitely take out Montolivo and Pepe, take in Aquilani (will prolly be Perrotta) and Camo, and one of Gila and Di Natale, or perhaps both, for Rossi (dude is the reason I'm wathcing this game) and Iaquinta/Toni.
The team needs to have more movement and passing option, and not continue on with the desperate gameplan of long hoofballs like the did in the euro. With those subs, they should play better.
Yes, it was a bad half, atleast second part of the half, but lets stop the pathetic melodrama. Valid criticism is expected, but not overdramatized BS.

Movement is NEEDED to create for Toni.
Meaning, the midfielders and fullbacks need to do better to open up space, and SERVE Toni. Thats what he is there for.
So far Brazil had it easy to close down Italy, because their passing options have been very little, they just succumb to the same hoof balls.
These movements you will get from likes of Rossi and Camo, and Perrotta is great at relentless off the ball movement.

Amauri's still waiting on his Italian passport, right? Italy can't select him yet. Dunga is a retard for not selecting him earlier. He would make a huge impact for either team.
The Italian defense is a joke tonight. Chiellini, Santacroce, and Maggio should all be fixtures on this team in the coming months (and beyond).
I don't get why Toni starts by default. What has he done since 2006? He had his best ever year back there and since then been really ineffectual in the national team.

really long streak of non scoring

did he start?good that camo does this crap for the national team ...
sadly there is now way brazil is going to concede two goals so lippis unbeaten streak will end ... but lets look at it, from another side ...
if dunga wins, he is not going to be sacked ... and if he stays than we do not have to fear that he will call amauri for brazil. if brazil would change coaches amauri would certainly be called up
