Concern has begun to lift for the first time from the Azzurri camp in recent memory. Wednesday night @ Dortmund could be considered a return to form for our fabled Azzurri; not only did we achieve a positive Germany 1-1 Italy result, but we did it in spectacular fashion amidst a humungous German audience of which only the likes of Dortmund can offer. Even though this match was slated as a friendly on paper; it was quite apparent that the ambiance offered in Dortmund was far more reminiscent of a World Cup match - similar to that found in Paris when Italy fell to the French national team months after our WORLD CUP Final triumph in 2006. This was after all the first time the Germans faced the Azzurri since the 2006 WORLD CUP Semifinal. With tension at a fever pitch, both teams came out of the gate with something to prove. The Germans were there to put to rest the notion that they couldn't beat the Italians, and the Italians came to prove that through our rebuilding we were now capable of playing footy with a team as highly rated as the Germans.
