Who's seen much of Diamanti? I know he's played well but as a fwd or a winger/mid?

Greece:nico: I hope they rape Germany. Payback for all their media calling Greeks lazy fks.

What's with Nagatomo? He'd be a good WB.

Well it would be nice to produce a few players who can score, create AND help the midfield. You know, like Ozil, Iniesta, Xavi, Ribbery, Shneider, Nani, Robben, Nasri, Muller etc...

Jesus is there any actual Attacking mids in Italy youth system, not just deep playmakers and midget strikers?

Yeah tough choices. If DDR moves into mid, maybe he'll bring Marchisio off the bench to use his pace when the game opens up. Balo should stay 90min to give a target. He didn't look that tired. Cassano-Balotelli Balzaretti-DDR-Pirlo-Motta-Abate Chiellini-Barzagli-Bonnucci then Marchisio...

Look what lead to the goal. Croatia were passing the ball like Spain, no pressure + we couldn't create turnovers to counter-attack. Prandelli said we need more energy... the freshness of Abate and Balzaretti would be useful.

Missing this guy. We can't break up the play of others when they attack. The 2 wingers seem non-existent. Sure, the 2 strikers don't help but its not like we've got better options.

This is no mystery. Been this way for maybe 10 years at least. (serie a to blame) Which is why Juve will need real quality for CL. You can see why Prandelli wanted much more prep time for the team, since it's hard to reverse the typical mentality.

Na just looked. If 3 teams on 5 points, the criteria of goals scored in head to heads is looked at before goal difference. So 2-2 puts them above.

Is this true? RE: Dominating Croatia... lol they were sitting back until we scored. After that,they came out to play. Also, did DiNatale actually touch the ball? my stream was choppy.

Spain and Germany - 4/5 attacking mids + 1 CF Italy- static holding mids and average SS's. The future isn't looking good.

We already saw that provincial effort at the world cup. It may not work but CP is trying to remake Italy into a team that plays with style. Unfortunately, without some quality AMs, we're fkd either way.

I'm not sure they would trust each other like the nordics did.

If Barzagli is back, id almost want the original 4-3-1-2 with Abate-Balz at FB. Monto should be fresh.

yeah wtf happened to Maggio, he was killing it first half the year.

How would you know an attack line is any good if they don't get any support and play on the counter?

With a typical lazy midfield, how would you know lol.

Pathetic mentality. Can't blame Prandelli. He puts on players to attack and they still want to sit back. Italy should stop making all their talented players play SS and become lazy fks... make them play midfield so we can develop an iniesta... not these 2-way nothings like Motta and Marchisio lol.

ffs pathetic same old story
