Exactly,they can hit the target easily and watching the game against Ghana and USA we left a man with a ball alone in several occasions,which could coast us another conceded goal...in our first game Essien was the man who might use that opportunity,but he didn't,and I think that it was a part of the tactic to leave unmarked the guy who can't shot the ball well.
Against the USA ,we left Mastroeni unmarked just once(in the first half) and he almost scored from the long distance.

GRK,I'm wondering why Brasil don't have some wakeup calls...they are heading thru the final without a need of the wakeup calls.
I hope that this wakeup call won't be the same as Juve's lucky pass by Wise's mistake...that mistake and our luck should have been a wakeup call....at the end it was everything but the waking up.

depends what you have in mind.
I wouldnt actually say it was wake up call for italy in how to play or something, we got our goal, nice start. then italy was unlucky with zaccardo goal.
There is differant kind of wake up call. Its mistakes, causing mistakes and that referees give cards easily. Thats the real wakeup call.
And thats for both teams, because czechs also lost a player with red card.
Ofcourse we could say that italy didnt take their chanses against usa. but it was a unusual situation, not always you see 3 red cards in one match. Both teams gameplan, tactics changed a lot.
Italy subs totti with rino after they lost de rossi, to change more defensive, but later on it seemed that the player we needed was totti, when usa lost 2 players. I mean we saw rino attacking
So i wouldnt say it was a wakeup call in terms of playing, it was a wakeup call in terms of making mistakes.

BTW, its just me or Ronaldinho is playing like crap..?
Adriano and Ronaldo are paired in the attack while it looks that Ronaldinho is not even a striker support....Kaka looks me much more offensive while Ronaldinho seems to have an allround midfield task....It looks me like that.
i would disagree here. it was the other way around. czechs tatcits didnt work at all, they let in 2 goals, and could have let in more. italy got atleast a point. czechs played without koller and baros, now they know what to do differantly. Italy didnt had any serious injury problems when they faced usa. It was also bad refering, i am not talking about red cards, but the ammount of offsides, which some where wrong.

..or he is playing out of his position...seems that he is a victim of the tactics,which is quite unusual for the Brasilians.

But is it possible to beat Cech(Ghanians could easily beat Czechs with 4 or 5 goals difference,but thanx to Cech they didn't),and we didn't manage to beat Keller with with 3 attackers?????

We could see:
----------------------- Buffon
Zambrotta -- Nesta ---- Cannavaro --- Grosso
---Camoranesi -- Gattuso --- Pirlo
---------------------Totti
------------- Toni/Pippo -- Del Piero
And if it happens, this could be the best Italian formation

I can agree with this formation
I also wouldnt mind seeing Oddo on the right, and Zamby on the left
enough of the bullshit that I read from the Azzurri camp that a draw would be fine...fuck that !! :ferocious
I want a convincing win that will boost our confidence, and also avoid Brazil in round 2, and catch them in the final (if Argentina doesnt beat them in the semi's)
zambo would be good down the right with cammo playing down their. they know eachother well seeing how they have been playing together for a while. it will be a good 1 - 2 punch with those to down the right. i cant see lippi not starting a very in form del piero. He was probably the best player for italy against the u.s.a and has had great training sessions.
