Well, it hardly seems like yesterday we were beating France to win the World Cup and it is back into action against the old enemy on Wednesday night. There has been a lot of nonsense spouted about the game but I think most of it has been sour grapes on the French front. I hope that Italy don't rise to that particular bait and just concentrate on playing football.
I was actually happy enough with the Lithuania game - apart from the result. I thought there was some good enterprise shown and Cassano was outstanding. Also Gattuso, Pirlo and Cannavaro have grown even more in stature with the World Cup win. However, there were a few worrying gaps at the back and I think we might be better advised to bring Zambro back against France and maybe consider a more prudent 4-4-2 (with Cassano behind front two if we want to be adventurous).
Anyway, here's hoping we beat them fair and square (again) and stop them crying into their chardonnay...

I think it's also important not to panic if it ends up a draw because on it's own that is a decent result.
France will drop points elsewhere. At Hampden hopefully!
Oops, that didn't go quite to plan, did it? What the hell is going on under this new coach?!
