and they have only won 1 WC post WWII, and that was due to them having some of the greates Italians either hanging on(Zoff) or at their peak(Berzot).

Italy drew there first three matches in 82 against Peru, Poland and Cameroon scoring one goal in the process.

In a unique system only ever used in 82 the drew Brazil and Argentina in the second three team round robin stage.

After beating Argentina 2 - 1 the best thing happen to Italy.
They went into the match against a phenomenal Brazilian team needing to win, a draw was not good enough. Berzot basically had no choice but to adopt a [censored] it lets attack them approach. With an inspired Paolo Rossi the greatest single 90 minutes in World Cup history was produced, what a game, the ascendency changed 5 times in 90 minutes. After that Poland and West Germany were formalities.

The US just annouced that they'll play a match at Germany on march 22. Also, according to ussoccer.com they have two more matches planned (one in US and one in europe) against unannounced opponents. Should be some good prep for their group.

Anyone here in Brazil can see how France can beat us, very unlikely, they don have a team for that. Media here is talking a lot about Italy, Netherlands, England and Argentina(but its not impossible they cant reach the 2 round).

Our manager is a world-class donkey, but even him cna win with that team.

Feel free to lay -250 that the US doesn't make the round of 16. That's available also. Sucker.

You really don't think the US has at least a 29% chance of accumulting more points than either Italy or the Czeck Republic? Ghana isn't likely to effect much.
