Azzurri disappoint vs. Brazil, media still afraid of Lippi

So the big friendly everybody waited for lived up to it's billing as an entertaining encounter, but it was entertaining for Brazil fans. Carlos Dunga's side played a great match, a real samba style mixed with grit and determination. Italy, on the other hand, at times looked like San Marino (especially in the first half) but picked it up in the second (but still not playing up to par).
