The World Cup meant for the `Azzurri" confirmation of a downward trend that ended in the worst way possible. The old computer that ran Marcello Lippi did not even agreed to the knockout stage after finishing fourth and last in Group F after losing to Slovakia (3-2) and sign a tie to one against Paraguay and New Zealand.

There was little evidence in favor of Tottenham . First, the end of the tie after that terrible pitch that got the Spurs winning at San Siro (0-1). And then, the strongest known in White Hart Lane, where he not only won their four games in the Champions League, but did so with an average of three goals scored in every game.
