italian plays defensive game. what are you talking about. they scored 11 goals in this world cup at a rate of almost 2 goal in a match. that is excellent even for the best offensive side ever. itlaly has best defence doesnot mean they play defensively. they are pretty good at offence as well as we have seen. french 8 goals for and 2 goal against italy 11 goals for and 1 goal against tell me which is more attacking.
