check pre-championship odds too, plus add the ages. that team was good, silva and zlatan especially, but some of those players were on their last leg. pirlo was injured a lot and missed literally half of the season, ronaldinho was well above 30 and left europe at the end of season, gattuso was also well over 30 and it was his last full competitive season pre-retirement, nesta also played his last full season before injuries ruined him, etc. they had experience, but they were pretty old. they were underdogs.
and you fucker put abate there, i love you
