@ Rol  Playing defense is how you win in any sport.  The other team can't win if they can't score on you.  I'm sorry that Italy doesn't have a more attractive style like Austria.

I am not surprised that you would support Italy. You are a Chicago Bears fan after all.

Exactly my point.  Defense is the most important aspect in sports.  Unfortunately, both the Bears and Italy play crappy defense recently.  I'm not arguing that Italy stunk.  They were terrible, but don't make it sound like they're lucky when they do win because they aren't.  This simply isn't true. 

Too many secondary matches and tournaments besides the major ones that overexploit the players, the whole football overvalued, thanks also to TVs, the need for the biggest and strongest teams to not lose too much and avoid at all costs to be relegated to lower divisions to avoid disastrous drops of the teams' economic value, add the lack of sporting spirit and fair play of most football supporters, so that a defeat is a tragedy and an offense to wipe out with blood, all this contribute to take to an excessively defensive play.
