Where we discuss, and then result, about Group E.
Teams are Italy, Ghana, USA and Czech Republic.

True, but you have to look at the last tournament where he was pretty good, so he can handle himself without Makelele and Essien.BoyBrumby said:The Other Group of Death ™.
Actually this may be the group to see a surprise. Yer Czechs are ageing & massively overrated. They have a quality keeper, but he won't have Essien & Makelele to protect him here. They lost twice to Holland in qualifying and just squeaked past yer Norwayanese in the play-offs.
Gennaro Gattuso is also missing the Ghana game and it looks like he will miss the second game also.BoyBrumby said:From the Guardian:

Big miss (or misses). Perhaps the plucky Ghanaians ( © every lazy hack for the next fortnight) can spring a shock yet.

If Zambrotta doesn't get fit soon, Daniele *****a might get his chance to impress any possible suitors for next season.
