[QUOTE="Hap, post: 691071, member: 53054"] Sorry for the late answer, I was lost in the forum :D Maybe my answer is not useful because it's a late one, but I give you my 2 cents anyway. Italy lost to Pumas simply because we are not used to manage point to point games. We have a strange "fear of winning", someone could call it looser mentality. And this is really like that, it's crystal clear to me how our players lose their calmness and start acting chaotic, and related penalties come along. It's something you see less by us when we are against much stronger teams or losing by a huge gap. That's why they start playing without pressure and they have unconsciously nothing to lose. That's our biggest problem for the National major Team, way before our ridiculous lack of attacking game. Basis rugby struggles because of another huge problem: we have no graduated teachers and trainers or coaches. We really need to learn how to create a production chain of skilled players. Nowdays we just put faith in talented born players and average workers. About Parisse: recently he declared he played whole last year with a back injury, which didn't allow him to play as he's used to. In fact, after this summer in which he hasn't been selected for our Tour he took a good rest, now he's back in shape and he proved that in last 2 games (to me, MoM with Samoa). I don't agree with MauriSca7 about his attitude with National team, at all. I think opposite. He's always the last one who drops battle weapons and tries to put light in every aspect of our game. Maybe he's not perfect with strategy choices during the game, he's surely latin :D But I trust in his effort with Azzurri without doubt. Your impression about sport in Italy is more or less correct, but it's much more true if you're looking it from a media point of view. If you watch tv or listen to radio, 99% is football. In reality, we have a lot of people involved in volleyball, basketball, cycling, swimming and so on. But it's anyway the minority, I agree. This is why in Italy sports are almost ignored at every stage of schools. Like in the highschool I attended at 2 hour per week physical education lesson. And that's it. If you want to practice sport you have to do it after school. [/QUOTE]
