What exactly do you all mean by coaches 'choking'? Players cracking under pressure I can understand, but it's not like Lippi panicked and played 8-0-2 with Peruzzi as a striker, did he?
Lippi's substitutions in the WC final made no sense whatsoever, the fact that Italy won that match was down to Zidane's self-destruction and the lottery of the penalty shoot-out. Definitely not to be accredited to the coach.
