    Well, balotelli is not proffesional enought to lead italy. It has been proven. Prandelli failed in giving him too much room to please him (gf and friend etc) but still, Balotelli got more than enought chances to prove himself in this big stage, and he failed. Im not even mad because of his poor...

    Since that Lippi 2006 team, italy is in the shadows. Tghose were like the last bastion before calciopoli destroyed everything. Now the league is poor and the quality in players have deemed. Still that is not an excuse. Ill blame this also on prandelli for over relying on Balotelli, leaving...

    Indeed. And looking it at the bright side, is better to go out like this and reshuffle everything... rather than getting hammered by holland, germany or brazil like spain did in the euros. Its baffling that we fool ourselves believeing italy was going somewhere with this pathetic attack, which...

    Only if replaced by ancelotti who is maybe the only really experienced italina coach in knock out tournies.

    the ugly truth i dont know what was itakly thinking to be honest. this stat is not worthy of a WC contender...specially with a lot of the other great teams of the tournament scoring left and right.

    Also, he said that he was not going to use those 2 tgether unless it was forced on him... but he fielded those 2 anyways well aware that it was a weird gamble that could back fire. He left out Rossi for insigne who was barely used and italy needed creativity upfront so much. Weird calls - - -...

    Tell that to Zach. IMO is ok to defend with purpouse, but thats wasnt the case for this Italy. They were barely hanging on, without creating anything good forward..even when having an offensive enought line up. The played bad IMO. This is the same mentality i hate from Juventus and is the...

    Prand and Italy blew it with Costa Ruica too, and this time against uruguay,they were ok on paper.. but never showed hunger on the field. Were playing weird.

    Blends gracefully with the state of the league. Too many parolos and desiglios in the NT

    Uruguay wanted it the most. Suarez deserve a WC ban. No 2 ways about it Marchisio's red was deserved. This finally costed the game. Balotelli yellow was amateurish. Inmobile was bad but also was isolated since the italy midfield prduced nothing. In the end, this sucks for juve and italy fans...

    I said it and ill say again. Italy needs to be very careful with this C. Rica team. They showed in the qualifiers that they fear no one and are not scared by being pinned and scored against. If Italy play it safe against them, they will lose.

    Poor Buff. Well i will not feel so bad because he won a WC already and i Enjoyed it so much. It would have been much much owrse if this was his last chance to win a WC. Lets hope he can return at least for the next phase, if italy qualifies.
