Which leads me to an important question....When Dp is on the pitch why does he not take the freekicks himself....i know Pirlo is good, but i think Dp should surely take some of those direct FKs
if both are on the pitch, Ale should go and will go for them! :)

yeah Belgium do suck but you have got to bear in mind that they have a very bad coach(wrong tactics) , Italy played with a very experienced squad almost everyone 30+ while Belgium played with youngsters (av. age 22)
it is no surprise that the world champions beat Belgium
I think Italy is favourite, they played an excellent first half

Anyone who sets up a team without at least one DM is insane.

Chiellini has hurt Cannavaro's ankle in training.

Canna has been taken to hospital to find out the extent of the injury.

Cannavaro Feared Out Of Euro 2008

Italy only arrived in their camp in Baden this morning, but a rotten piece of bad luck befell them during their first training session at Admira Wacker’s ground.

Fabio Cannavaro suffered an ankle injury after a 50/50 collision with Giorgio Chiellini, and he was stretchered off the field in serious pain.

The 34-year-old was then taken to hospital and he will be assessed in the next 24-48 hours when a decision will then be made on whether to send him home.

Latest reports from the scene are not said to be good, and there are rumours that it will take a miracle for Cannavaro to play any part in the championships.

Italy have until 24 hours before their first match of the tournament to replace an injured player, and the two main contenders to take his place are Fiorentina's Alessandro Gamberini and Milan's Daniele Bonera.

It will be a huge blow for Italy if they were to lose their captain, who has been a legendary figure at the back for them over the past 11 years, playing at every major championships since France '98, and winning 116 caps. His most prized moment came two years ago at the World Cup in Germany when he famously lifted the Cup in Berlin
