'So far they played better than the French.'

You have no understanding of football. I think I have told you this before but it probably didn't sink in. Italy are a poor team, full of cheats and divers.

They have played moderately well in their last two games but were dismal in the ones before that. France, by contrast, are the best team in the tournament. They beat an admittedly bad Brazil team very comfortably and were excellent against Spain.

Italy is a powerhouse - they have yet to unleash the potential for attack because they always perform to sufficiency to win.

Historically, Italy always plays to the level of their competition, good or bad.
