Of course soccer is never predictable and is always full of surprises; Italy's win over Germany was a surprise by itself. Personally I was expecting Germany to win then move on to clinch the title, but Lippi truly revolutionized his entire Squaddra, and this was quite obvious through the attacking pressure they caused to the German defense, which is rare in Italy's trademark defensive strategy. Cannavaro himself mentioned that the reason behind their win was their dissatisfaction with previous games, not just from this world cup but also from past ones such as the finals with France and Brazil, and so I was actually glad that it was France who made it to the final instead of Portugal, because now the instinct of revenge is much sharper among the Azzuris. Some excellent strong points were already mentioned by trancenation and rob, but I do fear Zidane and Henry, and wish that Nesta was here for him and Cannavaro to each cover one of these threats. I'm a die-hard Tifosi, always have been, so my vote cannot be objective here, and it surely goes to my Opera-singing Pizza-eating team!
