Cannavaro did fine, as did the Italy back four as a whole.

The goal was De Rossi's fault.
De Rossi has taken the blame for the goal, and rightfully so.

IQ/Gila upfront and Montolivo in midfield are more of a concern for Italy than anything in defense (besides Chiellini's pointless hoofs).

Italy can strike a better balance with IQ or Gilardino playing beside Di Natale. As for Montolivo, he did nothing to mask Pirlo's absence.

Typical when it comes to the Azzurri.



The best goals are the goals that come out of nothing, especially in the Azzurri net.
Hey, I don't mind you for thinking so, but I wouldn't be too disappointed with the draw :D I mean.. where the hell did that goal come from?

Paraguay did nothing. You know you are shit when you set out to defend against this Italy.
They were playing against the previous World Cup champions. No matter how bad they are at the moment, the opponents (especially teams like Paraguay) respect their names. Had Paraguay players been a bit more confident they could have caused Italy lots of troubles and they might have even won the game in the end. They didn't attack with many players but even at those scarce occasions, Italy's defense was rather shaky.
