Will the Italians be left in their gitch tonight?

We have a saying in Italian which translates (literally) into: “Being left in one’s underwear”. It means for example when you lose everything at the casino. You’re only left with your underwear on. This is the ad which is around Rome and Italy. D&G is the Italian national team’s official “dresser”, including the players’ underwear. From right to left we’ve got Gattuso, then Zambrotta sitting to the left, then team captain Cannavaro behind him and then Pirlo on the bench with his legs spread. I don’t know who the guy standing in the back is. I wonder if the Americans tonight will leave the Italians (literally) in their underwear (picture by M. Rimati)!
