Sorry Azzurri fans, but Italy was completely owned in every single department this evening, even defensively. The Netherlands could have scored about 6 goals past Buffon tonight. Donadoni has the wrong players out there, including Barzagli and Ambrosini, players that have no business in the side. All the players that started, minus Buffon, Toni, Camoranesi and Di Natale, had terrible seasons at their clubs. You can't use an entire midfield from the same club that had such a poor season and expect to win.
And don't blame Chiellini or Cannavaro's absence for this failure. You were poor everywhere on the pitch tonight, and the Dutch would have won even with Fabio in there. Don't be shortsighted like that. You have much more problems, especially a midfield that doesn't work whatsoever.
This is the first time in HISTORY that Italia has lost by such a deficit. Could this be the worst Azzurri side in any competition in history? Time will tell.
What should be done is this:
Buffon
Zambrotta - Gamberini - Chiellini - Grosso
De Rossi - Pirlo - Aquilani
Camoranesi - Toni - Del Piero
This way, you get rid of that Milan midfield which is the bane of your existence.
PS - To those who have rated Andrea Barzagli and think he's anything above just an average, Podunk defender, you need to WAKE UP and watch more football. He is shite, thank GOD we didn't get him, and he has no business in this Azzurri team. Thankfully, he just transfered to a side that suits his capabilities.
