Marcello Lippi’s Mountain Men Have Lost Touch With Reality

And so the excuses begin…

In his selection of the most offensively challenged Azzurri in decades or maybe ever, Marcello Lippi has began reciting excuses.  Today’s loss to a more conditioned and much more prepared Mexican side poses the question: What the hell have the Azzurri been doing for the past 2 weeks?
