Criscito hoping to emulate Cabrini and Grosso” plus 1 moreDomenico Criscito hoping to emulate Cabrini and Grosso Posted: 18 Jun 2010 05:11 AM PDT Domenico Criscito, the youngest member of Italy’s World Cup squad, is ready to follow in the footsteps of previous Italian heroes. The 23-year-old Genoa left back says he is eager to emulate some of Italy’s great left-sided defenders such as Antonio Cabrini and Fabio Grosso. “Grosso has always been my point of reference,” Crisicito told La Gazzetta dello Sport. “He is an example to me, off the pitch as well.” Grosso, who was left out of Italy’s squad this time around, made his mark on the 2006 World Cup with his decisive strike against Germany in the semi-finals. Cabrini formed part of the legendary World Cup-winning side of 1982 which boasted the talent of the likes of Dino Zoff and Paolo Rossi. Both left-backs took part in penalty shoot-outs in World Cup finals with contrasting fortunes. Cabrini missed his attempt in 1982 but Grosso, 26 years later, sealed the World Cup trophy for Italy when he converted his side’s final spot kick. - England’s World Cup penalty problems are ‘all in the eyes’ - Effective acclimatisation crucial to England’s success - Cacau confident of World Cup glory with Germany Uninspired France on the brink as Argentina cruise Posted: 18 Jun 2010 04:39 AM PDT Maradona's side eased past South Korea but displayed uneasiness at the back Whilst Lionel Messi will have spent last night celebrating Argentina's 4-1 win over South Korea, his Barcelona team-mate Eric Abidal will be wondering where it all went wrong for France. Real Madrid forward Gonzalo Higuaín added a hat-trick to Park Chu-Yong’s own-goal in a fantastic attacking performance from the South American side. France's display in Polokwane against Mexico later in the evening could not have been any more contrasting to the fantastic show put on by Diego Maradona's team. An unimaginative, uninspired and error-prone French side conceded two goals from Javier Hernández and Cuauhtemoc Blanco without reply. The results leave the two nations in very different situations in their respective groups, with Argentina topping Group B with six points whilst France are third in group A, level on points with bottom-placed host nation South Africa. In order to qualify for the last 16, France are now relying on either Uruguay or Mexico to lose when the two teams face each other in Rustenburg on 22 May. But even if one of the two front-runners do slip up and afford France the opportunity to take a place in the top two it is no forgone conclusion that they will be able to capitalise. Raymond Domenech's side face a tough test in the form of South Africa, who themselves could earn an unlikely place in the last 16 should they beat France in Bloemfontein. The Vuvuzela's of the Bafana Bafana fans will certainly not be playing to France's tune and if the 2006 finalists want to stand any chance of making it through to the next round they will need to start acting as a team, showing the world they are a unified force—something difficult to envisage considering the ever-increasing friction within the French camp. Argentina, of course, are not without their problems. Although they put on a fantastic attacking display, their performance at the back will cause tactical headaches for Maradona after a blunder by Dimichelis allowed Lee Chung-Yong to grab a goal for Korea on the brink of half-time. Their defensive uncertainty has not yet cost Argentina, but Nigeria and South Korea have not posed the attacking threat the likes of Brazil, Germany and Spain may do in the latter stages of the tournament. - In-fighting could undermine France’s World Cup dream - Capello must name first choice goalkeeper once and for all - Unlikely hero sends Argentina to South Africa You are subscribed to email updates from The Sport Review To stop receiving these emails, you may unsubscribe now.
