wake up, azzurri!

My age is growing and I become absent-minded each day. I supposed to watch to a world class(no?) match between Italy and Brazil at Sunday morning but I forgot.

Surfing Cari the next morning as usual and till then only I realized that I'd actually missed the match. It's not the main point though. The result was the devastating one after all.

I almost blurted out foul language. The result read 3-0. It’s not funny at all.

I expected both teams to deliver a superb performance. Hey, it’s a clash of titans. Yes, Brazil did, but can somebody tell me what had happened to my lovely Italy?

I saw a world champion is now crumbling.

I saw a world champion is succumbing easily to another world champion.

I saw an old-obstinate-stupid fellow who is still very proud and eager of his line up.

I saw a deteriorating line up especially the defense which they are used to proud with.

I saw a glowing team which its luster is gradually fading.

With the facts above, I just don’t see any chance of winning any titles. In fact, they can easily be eliminated at any preliminary round.

I miss the moment when Cannavaro lifted the trophy aloft. I miss the indestructible, impeccable, impressive Italy. I miss World Cup 2006.

Lastly, somebody please send Mr. L to introspection and come on Italy, we need more fresh bloods!
