I didn't see the whole match but Italy, fielding a new squad, was
not very impressive. I don't know whether this was panic or just
trying to rest all the oldsters--I had already noted my surprise that
they played two games so quickly.

Rest them from what, some have not played in a month!!! If a team cant play
two matches in quick succession, then its a guarantee they wont win the
WC!!!

In saying that, they are bound to win it again, LOL!!!
