Italy vs New Zealand: Preview - World cup 2010

Italy vs New Zealand: Preview
Not much to say here, except... Italy needs a win here if they're going to be serious contenders in the 2010 World Cup.

There have been quite a few upsets in this World Cup, including possibly Italy's tie with Paraguay a few days ago. But the Azzurri can't settle for a draw later today, and not having Gianluigi Buffon or Andrea Pirlo won't be an excuse. The vaunted Italian defense will have to keep dangerous balls away from the unproven Federico Marchetti, which chiefly falls on Fabio Cannavaro's plate.
