If Italy lose their nr 1 spot, they could defenitely lose in playoffs, so this is huge fuck up.
They can't lose their first place. If they lose today they will be 1 point above Ireland, and they'll host Cyprus in the last game. Hard to see them not cruising past the Cypriots.

I disagree I think Italy could look much better by adding Pazzini, Criscito, Cassano, Foggia, Motta and a few others
Sorry but I just can't even compare this Italy to the old one. It's not even close. I'm not trying to bash and laugh at Azzurri fans but I just don't find Italy that strong anymore. See, even those who you mentioned are mostly just average players. Pazzini was never good in my books while Foggia is an average player. Motta is good and Criscito is still too raw. Cassano should play, though.

They just can't replace Cannavaro, Nesta, old Zambrotta and Pirlo, Totti, Del Piero etc. These new players are no where near that level. I don't like their forwards. I used to love watching Italy but now...not so much at all.

though i agree with you about prilo, i think italy's main problem is in defense missing a viable partner for chielo and zambro-grosso replacements
Defense, midfield, forward. They lost power at almost every position.

I kinda like it that Italy equalized. They'd have beaten Cyprus in the last round and they'd have won the 1st place anyway.
This way they secure the 1st place tonight and they can play with the B squad on Wednesday (hopefully without Grosso, Giorgio, Legro, Camo and Iaquinta).
