ok it's an easy group ... whatever floats your boat!

why is it nonsense? of all the groups its the toughest IMO. If you go with the FIFA ranking you have #7 Uruguay, #9 Italy and #10 Uruguay. Uruguay won the last Copa America, finished 3rd in WC 2010. Italy reached the Final of the Euro in 2012 and battled both Uruguay and England to PK wins...

I doubt he plays Balotelli and Immobile, it would be too much dangerous and we wouldn't want that now right? The two upfront will likely be Balotelli and Cassano. My ideal formation : ............Balotelli.Immobile ..........Insigne.Pirlo.Verratti .................DeRossi...

Group of death!

i entered a lottery at work... everyone picked 2 teams out of a hat, winner gets $350.... I got Japan and Ivory Coast FML ! :boh: $20 down the toilet!

I love our young guys. I love how close they are and the friendships and bonds that are forming. A close team plays not to let his brothers down. It's the best atmosphere to go into this wc !! - - - Updated - - - This should be the starting formation 4/1/3/2...

Ofcourse. Horrible move not keeping him and bringing him to Juve. Just horrible. And now we're on the market for a striker lolololol. Just bad business.

We f around too much with the ball in the back and get burned. Happened today again. Just boot it out of there!!!

Great defense and goalkeeping! Lol - - - Updated - - - I don't know how prandelli could keep immobile and insigne out of the starting xi vs England. They play well together, they play with heart and desire and they are good! Immobile capo cannoniere vs balotelli who jogs around. On...

You know those are the bench players right? And not the starting 11 they will use vs England. - - - Updated - - - 4:30est ESPN deportes of ESPN 3 - - - Updated - - - England was heald to a 0-0 draw by Honduras. How do u guys feel about their young squad? (Dispite this tie)

hopefully not... I want to go through 1st in the group.

any word on whether they're showing the Fluminese friendly on TV Sunday? I'm intrigued to see what we do vs a team that knows how to play together.

yes, the only time I could remember them doing well in pre world cup friendlies was 2006 when they went to Amstredam and beat Holland 3-0 then played Germany in Florence and destroyed them 4-1

Odd... I heard on the radio there were hunderds of ppl waiting for them.

Italy uses these friendlies as practice games, literally. They experiment, try things, and really could care less for the result. The tie yesterday bugged me as a fan, as all the friendly games do because I always want to see my team win but inside I know it means nothing. Now if Germany were...

oK then I could switch to a 4/3/3 and sub Pirlo out for Ronaldo or Baggio ... Better? ;) ...............Zoff, .........Beckenbauer .....Cafu, Baresi,Cannavaro Socrates....Zidane......Platini .....Maradona.Ronaldo.Pele ------- ...............Zoff, .........Beckenbauer .....Cafu...

Here's my team ! http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-27699398#010016024015023090075076084100103 ...............Zoff, .........Beckenbauer .....Cafu, Baresi,Cannavaro ................Pirlo Socrates....Zidane......Platini .........Maradona.Pele 4/4/2 w/Beckenbauer as sweeper Try beating that...

or he does and he's not showing his hand. - - - Updated - - - I don't know if you could call that luck. They won their group, they deserved a good draw in the 2nd round. Ukraine wasn't a push over that year and then they went on to beat Germany at home to reach the Finals where they...

why are we trying a brand new formation just 1 week before the WC? Didn't we have 2 years to do this? By now we should have the formation set and we should know how we want to play. They don't look like they know what to do, Bonucci arguing with Abate, then with Balotelli... too much...

we are so freakn LAME!!!! :crazy: 1-1 with Luxembourg AT HOME!
