poor marking by Cannavaro

Italia off to a slow start - Meh, they always seem to find a way through to the knockout stage.

 

[naslundfan19]

And we're tied!

yup thats the way it usually goes ... just like germany always comes out looking like a machine in their opening games

 

[jstewismybastardson]

did they say anything about buffon? injured or did he just get the squirts?


edit: sky sports italia reporting a hamstring problem (leakage down the leg?)

 

[The Q stache]

My Azzuri better start playing better, 1-1 against paraguay is unacceptable. Hell we let in 2 goals the entire 06 tourney and 1 was an own goal. Its gonna be tough if Gigi can't come back from injury

Italy needs Pirlo to get healthy ASAP.

 

[KennyBanyeah]

Seems a trend early on, the heavily favoured teams are settling for draws.

France
Mexico
England
Italy

Ya they do, and they need Cannavaro to start playing up to form again
