Italy for the World Cup

Highlights of the highly anticipated showdown between 3 time champions Italy and world number two Czech Republic

Final score: Italy 2 Czech Republic 0

Italy played fantastically. They did everything they were supposed to do. They survived Nesta's injury. They let Inzaghi do his trademark-offside-beating-keeper-rounding thing. They let Gattuso bark at Nedved all the way.

My pick for man of the match goes to:

The commentator said at some point after he man-handled Milan Baros for the upteenth time, "Not being cliched here... but it's Cannavaro again..."

Who cares about Italy? It's England! But then who cares, too.

I prefer the sublimal psychological sensations whenever I read your scribbles of something "stupid" about Superman Returns.

Yo! Looks like we have one more thing in common besides West Wing. I adore the Azzurri too.

England really doesn't deserve to be in this stage of the World Cup. If you asked me, they could have and should have get knocked out at the group stages.

And to think their jinx team Sweden is out of the running too. Unfortunate.

But as TMY said, Italy's defense is so rock solid that the only team that can score against them right now is... well... Italy.

Go Zaccardo-mon!
