SES won't be anywhere near the squad unless he starts the season with about 8 goals. Also, it's too early for some of those latter kids. Romulo would have gone to the WC but for injury, so he'll be there.

Here comes the bs train. A couple of members here would make good Uruguayan lawyers.

Bernadeschi is a bit like Berardi, worth a watch.

Don't think Gigi, not sure how I missed DDR... - - - Updated - - - Aren't they one and the same? :D

Probable selection by 2016: 35 - Barzagli 33 - T. Motta, Marchetti, Gilardino 32 - De Rossi 31 - Chiellini, Parolo, Montolivo, Giaccherini, Aquilani 30 - Paletta, Marchisio, Osvaldo 29 - Sirigu, Abate, Bonucci, Candreva, Criscito, Astori, Antonelli, Rômulo, G. Rossi, Giovinco 28 - Cerci...

Barzagli will probably still be one of the best around at 35, but much depends on fitness. If he starts getting niggly injuries over and over you could see him retiring from international football, like Ferrara did.

He is obviously going to get more stick because he is black, but those fans who do that are morons and hypocrites with or without his errors. The real issue revolves around him having to be subbed before he was sent off, his misses against Costa Rica, and this alleged divisive influence he and...

The problem with international football is that few want the job now, it's not the ultimate honour like it was, they don't want this part time role and loss of CL football. Prandelli was about the best Italy could keep hold of for the Nazionale. Montella may possibly be tempted, but Fiorentina...

What you did there, I see it.

The other game is irrelevant, no idea why it is being mentioned. Italy went into this crucial last game with it still in their hands and the approach was fine until outside intervention. If this happens in the second game it's not important, provided Italy can still use the third game. Our game...

Mundane troll comment, the game was decided by incidents out of control. Seems to happen far too often for a World Cup, and always will with mediocre officials.

It's about time this mongrel, buck-toothed piece of shit got what he deserved, a nice, long injury.

Geez, I wonder why I struggle to get excited about international tournaments any more... Honestly no idea what the spastic ref is thinking. The general game plan seemed to be working fine, but what can you do? FIFA made the right call, they always do.

Verratti @Bianconero81

Oh yeah it was, lol. I sort of merged Fr3sh into Kasaki in my mind :facepalm2:

I thought you were from Mantova?

He was abysmal, let's be honest. He lost the ball probably 80% of the time he got it.

100% probability Pirlo will still look cool

I remember reading how that area of Brazil has the worst humidity, which will probably be the biggest factor. It may also affect personnel chosen, younger players, perhaps.
