Di Canio was on the losing side as Italy were beaten 2-1 by a strong Brazilian team featuring the likes of Gilberto Silva, Julio Baptista and Roberto Carlos.And despite having recently celebrated his 49th birthday, Di Canio proved to have lost none of his attitude or inherent ability to become embroiled in an argument, as the video below clearly demonstrates!
