Teams


ITALY



Azzurra
Established tradition
Even though they haven’t won a World Cup title since Spain 82, the Italian team will always be a strong card in the tournament; they were close to obtain the title in US 94 when they lost to Brazil by penalties. In 2002 they suffered a tremendous defeat in the fourth round against Korea, disappointing as well in the Euro Cup of Portugal; therefore, its time to wake up has arrived.
