I am not sure I understand the response to this great post by Dp forever as it is really worrying that maybe for the first time in a very long time, Italy's weak link is the defence
We are not exactly talking about on their day, we are talking about on current form and lets face it Buffon has made more errors this season that in his previous 2 combined
Panucci is a complete liability while Cannavaro has had his poorest season in years and he is apparently not fit yet
Zambrotta is gr8 going forward and whilst he is tactically astute he is no great defender either
While Nesta seems to get injured at the wrong times for both club and country so to dismiss the article as bull is way beyond my comprehension
The understudies do not exactly inspire do they?
In attack if Dp misfires, there is Cassano to take his place
If Vieri gets injured then there is Corradi and Dv
In midfield there is always Fiore, Pirlo, Gatusso waiting to come on for any misfiring players and Zambrotta can be swithced to the right of midfield
Can you honestly tell me that hand on heart the defence has such luxuries?
