The New Look Azzuri vs Ivory Coast

Italy 0 - Ivory Coast 1

Much has been said about this match. Some say it is still the old Italy, nothing new, the results haven't changed. The defense was not great but the midfield with Cassano looked promising. If Balotelli, Quagliarella, Cassano and Amauri can make things happen in the offensive end Italy will be once again be fun to watch which in the last few years they haven't been. The defense needs a lot of work, they have been giving too much space and too many chances. Giorgio Chiellini needs to take charge of the defense and make it his. We all know Chiellini is a great defender when his game is on, now Italy need him to step up. Hopefully he will.
