Poor old Gigi

With over 20 million Italians watching their teams opening match against Paraguay it is clear that they are pretty keen on their footy. The 20m represents about 30% of the population. Given this the news that their goalie Gigi Buffon has a back problem and may not take any further part is not good news. Gigi is a class keeper and Italy don't have any sort of back up as the general standard of Italian goalkeeping is poor so it will interesting to see how they perform against the mighty All Whites of New Zealand on Sunday.
