i think the young players like ferrari, bonera, miccoli, cassano will shine, as will maresca, brighi and pirlo.
its going to be hard though as italy has champions who are still at a good age, ie. totti, nesta, buffon........so we'll have to implememnt them into the side slowly.
i can see us make it further in the next world cup......but as usual, we have to have a coach who has something upstairs and not just a reputation.
