Obviously it wasn't like a match in Italy. It was a friendly against the Red Bull Reserves in New Jersey, USA. It had just started. Delpie had a tough touch on a difficult ball. So they booed him. All the while chanting "Viva Grosso!" even though Grosso is getting smoked left at right by some 18 year old.
And many of them were yammering in Italian. I'm sure it was a bit of frustration at the poor season, but to harangue your captain at the expense of promoting a player like Fabio Grosso is a disgusting notion. Even the Napoli fans were like "what the fuck".
Still I have to say that getting 2 feet or so away from a player like Del Piero after the match was one of the highlights of my life even though I don't like his team.

Maybe, although who decides that the morality of the game is important? If you score a legitimate goal it should stand, just as if you don't create chances you won't score and don't defend well so you concede. It doesn't matter if you 'deserve' it or not or whether you should be able to score another one because you have better players so that's ok.
They were even the better team and the team who created more chances. They missed a penalty and they missed a chance with the goal empty ala Nigeria against Korea. The whole nation was in a state of shock when they lost to NZ
Also, NZ in the last confed cup celebrated like they won the WC when they drew against Iraq in the last match of the group stage, they were so happy they went out with a point, that they literally celebrated
But they still managed to be ahead of Italy

Good for him.
Absolutely good for him.
Lippi's pettiness towards Cassano and Miccoli set this team back at least another 2 years. Thankfully Prandelli is taking over, and it can't come soon enough.
The bottom line is Lippi mailed it in in the last 2 years. His selections were absolutely horrible. Beyond horrible.
How do you take Pazzini and not take the man who was as responsible for the seasons that he has had the last 2 years?
Can you honestly tell me that a Cassano-Pazzini pairing in the world cup would not have been exponentially better than anything he tried to come up with?
And how the hell does a coach, during the World Cup qualifying stages, constantly tinker with his lineup and formations in hopes of finding a spark?
Didn't he have 2 years to figure this shit out.
I said it after the Confederations Cup that this squad was absolutely fucking doomed, but some people here paid little mind to the relevance of what they displayed in Africa last year, chalking it up to "He's just experimenting. You'll see how different things will be in the World Cup."
I didn't see Brazil or the US doing that shit last year.
He had, by far, the easiest group to qualify out of, and what he and his "old guard" did out there was a joke.
Forza Cassano, Forza Miccoli, Forza Prandelli.
And Forza the U S of FUCKING A, bitches.
