Then explain me one thing...France won the WC in 1998, yeah? They should try to keep their title and prove they were the best in the next WC, yeah? Don't misunderstand me, that's your opinion not mine ( I don't agree with that, anyway) How come France did so bad next WC??? Remember???
Korea/Japan 2002
Group A
Team Pts Pld W D L GF GA GD
Denmark 7 3 2 1 0 5 2 +3
Senegal 5 3 1 2 0 5 4 +1

France 0–0 Uruguay
Denmark 2–0 France
Rommedahl 22'
Tomasson 67'
So yours isn't a valid theory. France of this WC played bad the 2 first matches as well, because this things happen. Players (World Champions or not) aren't just some robots(as you pretend) that you put in the pitch and always have to win, cause you say it. Italians put all their energies and efforts to win the WC, now they can draw, they can even loose, but no one is going to take the WC out of them. They fought for it till the end and they gained it. Now they don't have to prove anything to anyone since the trophy is in Italy and what they had to prove they did from 9th of June to 9th of July. Moreover they don't have to prove anything to Lithuania for God's sake!

What should we think about the Brazilian team #1 FIFA ranking, France totally stalled their efforts, but today they played a great game against Argentina. I think that a good team can make a great team play badly if they can find the right moves to do so.

Playing good in all of the minor matched does not give you world cup victories, it is the BIG matches.... in the future... no body will care that italy lost to lithuania... all they will remember is that they won the world cup in 2006
and if you really know anything about football, you would understand that on any given day the worst team can beat the best team... that is what makes the beautiful game beautiful

Yeh, if u play well in one match and then play crap in another match, then this aint good!
If Italy have won the world cup, this doesnt mean they should stop playing good, they have to prove the world that they deserved to win it, like France, after winning the World cup, they won the Euro cup, but I dont think Italy will be able to do this!!!

Well you could look at when we pasted you in the WC final or you could take a wider view.

not necessarily...for example,italy are champs and they are drawing and tying now...france are playing well nowbut didnt win the cup,england was weak in germany,but they are playing quite well...but the fact remains that one cannot succeed in everything he attempts...
