ITALY
Red hot favourites, 'The Azzori'; have won the trophy no less than 3 times (ie.'34,'38,'82) and are also on record to be the first team to successfully defend their title back to back in '34 and '38. Indeed, little needs be said as regards their ability to win this time around. The question is "can they get get together"
