He better get used to it, there's a lot more to come. I also had my doubts about Lippi's abilty as the coach of Italy.

No, he's quite right. Brazil would do us much more harm than for instance Italy. They are just all over the place and perform tricks that make your head spin. We wouldn't be able to follow that quite good.
As for 70% Italy would beat a 100% Slovenia etc. ... IMO it's pointless to talk about that, because a team rarely is at it's 100%; all I can contribute in defence of my NT is that there's something that most of the teams lack nowdays, not only on international level, but also clubs and that is team work. We don't have one world class player, not even one that would come close to it, but we have a bunch of good players who would do absolutely everything on this world for their team and that is worth much more than a big star sometimes. When we are facing an opponent everyone works, without questions, without special demans, without primadonnitis. When I see my team I see players helping eachother on the field and not doing just their own work, but also taking on some extra and that is more than anyone can asks for. And this is when your team makes your proud, not the results and I'm proud 101%. Can you say the same for you and your team?
And just one little patriotic blitz that I cannot shake off
The past results and us qualifying to EU02 and WC04 and beating a lot of prominent teams should make you think just a little bit before underestimeting us. We might not be a big country and we might not have known players, but we are FAR from being an easy team, especially at home.
