SEEMS THAT THE ITALIAN PRESS WAS TOTALLY DISAPPOINTED IN ITALY'S PERFORMANCES AND APPEARS TO BE VERY WORRIED..
READ THIS BIT FROM UEFA.COM:
'Wake up'
"While Cannavaro shrugged off the result, Italy's media took a more alarmist view. 'Italy come back down to Earth' was the headline in Gazzetta dello Sport. 'Wake up, here comes France', warned the front page of Corriere dello Sport, referring to the world champions' next qualifier in Paris on Wednesday."
WHY ARE THE ITALIAN FANS ASLEEP???

The Italian press is very well known (like the English press) on being very harsh with the National Team.
If you talk like that, you did not see the game.
The game was interesting for the Italian Team, because it was the first "official" game of Donadoni, who changed half of the team after the TRIUMPH in the World Cup with France (the LOSERS).
The first half have seen Italy attacking constantly, with the great surprise of a "new" Cassano as a play-maker and assist man. Few goals were missed by Inzaghi and Cassano in the first half.
In the second half, the short physical condition (in Italy the Championship have still to start) have dictated a slower pace to the game: yet, a couple of clear chances of scoring goals were missed by Cassano and Inzaghi/Gilardino.
The game with France is important ONLY for the 3 (three) points... NOTHING ELSE... your "revenge" is just in your dreams (or nightmares), because ITALY is the WORLD CHAMPION and it will be for the next 4 (four) years!!!
I very much doubt you are able to talk about football, otherwise you could have made different comments.
In any case, nobody was expecting nothing more by a sore LOSER like you!
btw: why don't YOU pay attention to the French press?

If you are harsh with your team, it encourages them to work harder so that they can win the match. If you keep on praising someone, they eventually become arrogant; not something the Italian press want their team to be, so it makes sense to make sure that their team is fully alert and ready to win.
Don't worry, Touzours, we're perfectly awake. How else could we answer your question?

I think the Italian press always cut up their teams. You see, they don't have the false pride like the French - they know they have to work hard at things rather than make excuses later.

Lol!The italy players are short of time to sleep coz they have gotta pose without their clothes on for ads.So they sleep during practice sessions and finally end up bribing the ref.

i was disappointed too in italy's match with lithuania, i also wrote it here in a question, the one that said "good effort...etc etc...".
i SUPPOSE the ones who were happy for that match are just fans of italian team, they're not italians.

France is a really good team like they are, so they sort of mean "Heads up, here comes competition."
