19 Days Left: World Cup Review - Italy

The Italians are the reigning champs of football, winning their fourth world title in 2006. The US was the only team that got close to beating them in Germany with a 1-1 draw in a controversial game that saw three players get sent off. The 2006 WC came just off the heels of bribery scandals that rocked Serie A, interesting then how many calls seemed to go Italy's way. Just saying.
The Italians should easily make it out of Group F, consisting of Paraguay, New Zealand and Slovakia.
