Italy has chosen Lippi as Trappattoni's successor. Will he do any better, or will Italy stay the same boring, complaining (but occasionally good) team it always has been?

In the day Italy went out, I already antecipated it and wished him good luck. Lippi has done an outstanding job in Juventus over the years and his team has showed a good offensive-defensive balance. He also seems to be the only person that knows how to use Del Piero. I expect Italy to improve, although the hopes he creates were already created in the past by Sacchi too for example. Sacchi was a coach that made a revolution in Milan with an offensive style of play and we all saw how it was in the italian NT...

If Italy stops playing the trap I will have to stop saying things like
"Stop playing like Italy and ATTACK!"
