Italy are well know for the sophistication of their play and their ability to keep control of the ball and build from the back in a very deliberate manner. They have always had great defenders and are a very difficult team to break down when they take the lead as they always only tend to do just enough to win their games.
One of their World Cup stars of the past was Paulo Rossi who really turned it on in the 1982 World Cup and he alone almost single-handedly beat Brazil on their way to winning this World Cup that year, where Rossi had three efforts on target all game against the Brazilians and scored three goals one of the all time great World Cup performances.

The Italians will be difficult to beat as always and will be one of the sides to watch in South Africa.
