Over the years, looking at the talent the Azzurri have to offer and their subsequent crash out of the latest World Cup, who would you say has been more correct? The pumpers or the doubters?
Obviously the doubters have been correct, and that's just a fact of the matter. The only bright spots have been the likes of De Rossi, Chiellini, Cassano, Balotelli and perhaps Marchisio. Barfagli, Aquilani, Pazzini, Montolivo, Zaccardo, and all sorts of others were too hyped.
