Italy drew against Switzerland in it's last friendly and lost to Mexico 2-1 the game before. Not exactly the form you want to be in going into the WC. Paraguay drew against a good Ivory Coast team and beat Greece 2-0 in its last 2 games. They have a solid squad with a number of playmakers up-front.
Pirlo is out for Italy in this game, and it's a huge blow for a team that is lacking creativity on offense.
