Inzaghi is one of the most overrated players in the world...no doubt he has a lot of goals to show for but people dont remember how many sitters he has missed..

Don't forget NESTA. Italy played without their two best central defenders- cannavaro & nesta. Buffon couldn't adjust with new defenders. But he is exceptionally good, save Italy thrice in 1 to 1 situations (95% cases goal scored), 2 times were Nistelrooy. Genious... Don't mind. Italy will be champions, just takes times to adjust.....

Truly, it was poor Lucas Neill of Australia who had the misfortune of being responsible. If he hadn't tackled the Italian [I think it was Del Piero] and no penalty had been awarded things could have been different. It was an out and out legitimate tackle. The Italians were till that time huffing and puffing to get a goal against the spirited Aussies.
