I thought he was just below decent, certainly not horrible, it was never going to work with him, 4 CM's and Matri upfront, dunno what Prandelli wanted to achieve with that,. Marchisio was horrible, much at fault for the goal and invisible for large parts of the game.

Easily the most annoying type of match. It's one where the only thing taken from the game is the result.
Prandelli picked only 4 forwards and no trequartista, so it's not a massively surprising outcome. Italy quite often struggle against a compact side who have a 'British' style, even in more important games; Ireland, Scotland and Wales spring to mind in recent memory.
There is nothing Robben can't do with his left foot. He can shoot with it, dribble, eat, fuck, fly etc. Everything, he can do whatever he wants with it. Class goal.
