Their first world title came back in 1934, when they defeated Czechoslovakia 2-1 in extra time in a hard-fought final. • The Italians defended their title successfully in 1938, their 4-2 win against Hungary proving somewhat easier than the battle with the Czechs. Italian fans then waited a long time before their national team claimed a third world title. • Patience was rewarded in 1982 in Spain. After a mediocre group round, Italy gathered momentum and stormed through to the final where they proved too strong for Germany.   Coach Name : Marcello Lippi Nationality : Italian Date of Birth : 11 April 1948   Squad No. Name Position Date of Birth Caps Gols (1) Gianluigi Buffon Goalkeeper 28 Jan 1978 58 0 (2) Cristian Zaccardo Defender 21 Dec 1981 11 1 (3) Fabio Grosso Defender 28 Nov 1977 15 1 (4) Daniele De Rossi Midfielder 24 Jul 1983 15 3 (5) Fabio Cannavaro Defender 13 Sep 1973 91 1 (6) Andrea Barzagli Defender 8 May 1981 7 0 (7) Alessandro Del Piero Forward 9 Nov 1974 72 25 (8) Gennaro Gattuso Midfielder 9 Jan 1978 40 1 (9) Luca Toni Forward 26 May 1977 16 7 (10) Francesco Totti Midfielder 27 Sep 1976 49 8 (11) Alberto Gilardino Forward 5 Jul 1982 13 6 (12) Angelo Peruzzi Goalkeeper 16 Feb 1970 31 0 (13) Alessandro Nesta Defender 19 Mar 1976 73 0 (14) Marco Amelia Goalkeeper 2 Apr 1982 1 0 (15) Vincenzo Iaquinta Forward 21 Nov 1979 11 0 (16) Mauro Camoranesi Midfielder 4 Oct 1976 19 1 (17) Simone Barone Midfielder 30 Apr 1978 12 1 (18) Filippo Inzaghi Forward 9 Aug 1973 48 21 (19) Gianluca Zambrotta Defender 19 Feb 1977 52 1 (20) Simone Perrotta Midfielder 17 Sep 1977 22 1 (21) Andrea Pirlo Midfielder 19 May 1979 22 4 (22) Massimo Oddo Defender 14 Jun 1976 18 0 (23) Marco Materazzi Defender 19 Aug 1973 26 0   Match Schedule Group E Match Date Venue Teams Time Score 9 12 Jun 06 Hanover ITA : GHA 21:00   25 17 Jun 06 Kaiserslautern ITA : USA 21:00   41 22 Jun 06 Hamburg CZE : ITA 16:00     Accommodation Alang Alang Suite Cinta Inn Pondok Damai Puri Bambu More Trading Criter Wear Carlo Showroom Goddess Silks Sourcing For Living Travels Eco Dive Bali Gunung Leuser Trek Papua Adventures Premier Card Jewelry Alamkara Ebone Designs Jean-François Fichot Art Galleries Naka Contemporary Art Zola Zolu Gallery Antonius Kho I Madé Sumadiyasa Richard Winkler Sculpture by Filippos Tony Raka Art Gallery
