Azzurri win 5-1 in their match vs MSV Duisburg team

In the first 40 minutes of the 80 minute match.. Lippi used Inzaghi and Gilardino up front,with Del Piero playing slightly behind them.The Coach then went with Toni and Iaquinta in the 2nd half,with Totti playing in the hole.

At mid-field,Simone Barone played the entire match.At first,with Camoranesi and Pirlo..later with Perotta and De Rossi.

..no info on the defensive unit.

" I am around 60-70 percent of my condition.Like everyone..I'm here to play and I feel ready to play,but it is down to the coach to make his decision,and if he chooses not to play me I will accept that." - Totti after the match.

I have to think you would get the absolute worst odds if you were betting Italy to win, the opposite you might be ok though.

We have lodging and general plans to go to Portofino and CT, but nothing specific. Basically anything specific you would recommend doing or seeing, or anything you would recommend not doing or seeing. Maybe even a place to catch the CZech game.
