Mondiali 2006 - Destino azzurro

A beautiful and nostalgic story about an Italian national team that has not experienced success since Euro 2000, where it was a final defeat against France. At the same time, the domestic football league experienced the infamous "Calciopoli" scandal, which revealed clubs with bribed referees, so there was enough to deal with for Lippi and his chosen ones for the final round in Germany. An uncertain start in the group game and two key players are injured in the defense and a personal tragedy also hits the team when team mate Gianluca Pessotto fell out of the window and whose life was in serious danger. The team stands together, and a unique unity both on and off the pitch, means Italy can go all the way to the dramatic final against France. The series does not offer anything, you give several good anecdotes from that time, all in a positive spirit. In addition to Gigi Buffon, Luca Toni, Fabio Grosso and captain Fabio Cannavaro, John Terry, Jürgen Klinsmann and William Gallas give their thoughts on their tournament. There is not much talk about Zidane's attack on Materazzi and that part is quickly over, which was great that time did not pass with it. Fan of Italian or just football in general, this series is a pure go to and with 4 episodes of 45 min. duration, you quickly go through the series. It's been a long time since you've seen so much beautiful hair, both on and off the field.
