With all the riches of talent in Italy, their manager Lippi picked an old fogey team - sort of like The Rolling Stones doing a farewell tour. But at least The Stones can still rock, some of these "senior citizens" couldn't even start for their own clubs in Italy. Paraguay are consistent but unspectacular. New Zealand have no business being here. Thus Slovakia should top the group. Their attacking midfielder - Hamsik, who plays in Italy - will be a joy to watch. Italy should end up as number 2 based on experience, with Paraguay waiting for them to slip and fall badly.
