The 2006 World Cup ended up in Italian hands after an Azzurri triumph that owed everything to teamwork.
With a defence built around goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon and captain Fabio Cannavaro, Italy defended as well as anyone in FIFA World Cup history, conceding just two goals – one an own goal, the other a penalty.
The silk-and-steel midfield combination of Andrea Pirlo and Gennaro Gattuso also caught the eye, as did the swashbuckling raids of full-backs Gianluca Zambrotta and Fabio Grosso.

That was a great team back them, and if Messi has such defence in his career at the National team side he would have won the World Cup long time ago
