I don't think that de rossi should be equalled with e.g. pirlo... he scored that really wonderful goal against the us, but he actually did nothing against egypt. he even didn't cover that egyptian(?)scorer. furthermore he did pass the ball very often to the opposite team.
and tonight he also didn't express anyhow. when the 2nd goal was scored by brasil he did do look awfully bad. he couldn't clear that one...
i'm not blaiming everything on him, don't get me wrong (IMG:

It was Cannavaro that made the terrible mistake on the second goal. To actually see him reach Maldini's cap record was awful. He does not desrve to be a starter anymore.

Congrats!
A big fat (IMG:
style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) at Lippi!!! However, this is better for Italy, the lower they get the better they react. Let's hope to see that where it matters next summer.
With Lippi as coach I can't actually see them reacting. This is as good as it gets. Since when did Italy's national team become a collection of mediocre players from mid table Serie A teams. Half of that chosen squad does not deserve to be there especially when he's leaving top class talent back in Italy.
Lippi should have never took the job back. This will tarnish all that he accomplished in 06. Mark my words, should Lippi be the one coaching Italy at the world cup this Confederations Cup humilation will pale in comparison, not to mention the mud slinging that will ensue once the team returns to Italy
