Once again the Italian national team is eliminated on penalties by an international competition, this time the miracle of Berlin was not repeated and so we have to accept defeat, however, deserved.
The angry red, but without charm, they are basically proved their superiority in terms of ensemble playing. And the game of Vienna may be the epilogue to the adventure blue Donadoni, the training sample (?) Of the world has been spared for the whole match to cover more than to dare the rest as in other meetings with Romania and France.
Obviously the game against the Netherlands too has left its mark, the score is too eloquent: three goals scored in four games, all on a set piece and, most importantly, zero goals from our strikers.
Toni has largely disappointed, once again showing his lack of feeling for his country, if not wrong in 2006 was one of the most successful yet disappointing worldwide shipping. Last night proved to be truly human in less than Donadoni: A few times he caught the ball, or has often been overlooked by much lower Puyol has never reached the shot. Slow, clumsy, has been able to even take a clear opportunity Grosso goal.
However, Donadoni did not have the courage to ever replace it: the worst of the blues in all four games was also the one with Buffon and Zambrotta to have played all 360 minutes. 
Incredible. One wonders what purpose the coach has brought back Borriello and Quagliarella if they are not considered capable of alternating even the poor and woody tones of these times. Instead Italy's Euro 2008 has proved to be a team that was able after the onset duty to defend the record (actually it was enough to remove the out of shape Materazzi and Barzagli overstated) and also no coincidence that the English of the four rear package with Buffon has been the best, but has never been able to baste textures effective attack .
midfield, or boiled (physically, not in terms of quality) "block Milan" has tended to contain more and so that the inclusion Cassano found himself always surrounded by a swarm of opponents.
From the bottom did not arrive that few cross, almost all of the defenders Iberian prey, facilitated by having to mark only the static tones. No coincidence that the only real danger has always come from dead-ball, when could climb the tower.
only two shots of note within 120 minutes, Camoranesi and Di Natale (great reflexes of Casillas). On the opposite side, a number of actions to goals, often throws Buffon who have committed or have passed the edge of the pole, a net penalty not seen by Fandel and a feeling of constant danger offensive.
In the end, therefore, the penalty kicks were awarded the strongest.
But, you know, in hindsight it's easy to make judgments.
The fact is that probably the one with Spain will be the last game of Donadoni for his country, although all the media assume the arrival of Lippi. Who knows that the change does not lead some new home blue.
Moreover, when we saw the formation of other national, often consisting of "boys" of 23-25 \u200b\u200byears, and we had to raffidarci:
Materazzi (35)
Del Piero (34)
Panucci (35)
Ambrosini (31 but a sea of \u200b\u200bphysical problems combined with a preparation that has cost access to AC Milan Champions League)
we did not have any doubts? Well maybe not, since the national team is a mirror of a country, and we are not perhaps the country most of all, and in all fields, is associated with immobility and the most obvious generational always be done "tomorrow"?
- Everyone has what he deserves, I thought the April 15, 2008, I think even more now.
