The Azurri Team Profile
Post Ranking: 2
Region: Europe
World Cup History: 16th appearance, champion in 1934, 1938 and 1982; runner-up in 1970 and 1994
Top Player: MF-F Francesco Totti
Lowdown: The Azzurri is rounding into form under former Juventus coach Marcello Lippi, fielding a typically disciplined defensive side and an increasingly dangerous attack sparked by Totti. He likely will feed forwards such as Alberto Gilardino and Luca Toni, who carried Italy to a relatively easy qualification and seem ready to supplant Fs Christian Vieri and Alessandro del Piero.
