		<description>Disappointment cannot even cover what I feel in regards to this Azzurri team. 

Donadoni is NOT a Coach. Why the FIGC hasn&#039;t realized this is beyond me. His problem begins with the selection of has-beens and never-was&#039;s for the national team. How, How he concocted that pairing between DP and Pipo is beyond me. A houseleague coach from Iceland could have done a much more tremendous job with selection and tactics than he did today. France was flat and came in with the intention of tying. Italy did not disappoint them. I cannot understand how he is still present on the bench? Foggia and Aquilani not even present on the bench, his selection of injured players (toni) and yet he will have a job tomorrow. 

The Azzurri had this game in the bag before it started. And yet they foiled this up. This man needs to be removed from this lucrative position. 

It seems odd how both Lippi and Capello two of the best coaches in the country are sitting in commentary booths this season. I reckon Lippi is waiting for a couple personal things to die down before resuming his duties as the manager of the national team. But only time will tell. 

This is a MEGA Frustration especially with the talent currently coming out of italy, they have the potential of dominating for the next 15 years with the current youth development. Absolute Torcher to watch!@!!</description>
