I guarantee you that within 10 years, the US will run Italy into the ground in terms of football, and all experts on the matter would agree.
I'm not asking for more in the game, I'm asking for the Italia fans to take their heads out of their asses and admit tha the US wasn't the violent joke they make them out to be.
I have to say that the Romans screwed up Lippi..
Foramtion was 4-3-1-2. De rossi got sent of so it became 4-2-1-2. And we all know Totti's lack of deffense abilities Italy was facing 5 men midfield with only 2 players. With Totti already carrying a yellow card and the match looking physical, it was a great sub for Lippi to take out Totti (unless he was injured missed that part of the game) and bring in Perotta. The only downside is that Italy continied the whole 1st half and begining of the second with no pronounced play maker. Pirlo had to do two jobs. Toni and Gilardino were not moving enough plus after the 2nd red card of USA Zacardo was not needed. Del Piero and tried to do something but the whole italian side was not there. Then when Iaquinta came in italy were already so exhausted (alteats that was what we could make of their performance).
If totti did not have a yellow + he was a decent chap not red card prone we would've have seen Maoro Camoranesi.. Camornaesi would've been ideal for this game. Italy needed some speed and creativity.
If Totti did not get subbed he would've left with a red card.
I say Lippi should consider playing against Czech without Totti.

As already stated, this was a red card. Urs Meier, a very experienced referee said that there was no doubt about it.
The US was better than expected (which is not too hard to achieve) and maybe the better team (big maybe here), but they did not outplay Italy. Argentina outplayed their opponent. The US team had some dangerous counter attacks, but they were neither able to score on their own nor had they many big shots at the goal of Buffon. Italy had many dagerous attacks, too. "Outplayed" is very much exaggerated.

this is game was wrong from the start even before they kicked off, totti is'nt back 100% at all. even the subs apart from gattuso where wrong. i think cammo should've been sent in, and inzaghi instead of iquaninta. not to mention no offense to people who think italy were rougher than the usa. the usa ditched some crappy tackles and towards the end the refree ignored 100% fouls being ditched on italy.
besides the amount of offsides is ridiculos and there were a few that were'nt even offsides. i think the american team played well considering they played with 2 men down but if also the bloody refree with his dumb mistakes is a reason for this. in the end i think italy needs to beat czech rep and benefit its self not any other team cos now we r in the same shit the other three teams are and to be honest with a display like tonights we stand 0 chances against brazil or even australia or croatia.
