British media bowing down to il maestro again, I think they'l genuinely miss him after this tournament ends.

He's a throwback player, transported from the 70s, I doubt we'll see his like again.

You are right, we won't see another one like him. So glad he is our player for his golden years. I want Italy to win this world cup so bad just to seal his legend and make his last couple seasons that much more special for him and for all of us. He has become an icon, he always had the signature hair and now he has added the signature beard which will always be tied to his Juventus days. Signing him was the best thing this club has done in recent years, not just for the trophies he has helped us win, but for him becoming the face of the franchise. He is a player that everyone loves, no matter what club you support. Everyone respects and is in awe of Pirlo.

It's good to see pirlo get this deserved recognition , he was so underappreciated at milan .

What a signing for us , he has now become a brand . :D

The way he's been used for Italy is briliant, he doesn't have to provide extra cover for the defence all the time. We should try using him the same way next season, if we switch formations

Yea, exactly. He won a lot of shit at Milan, but still never really made that jump to superstar status.

He has achieved that with Juve by helping to bring us back to glory, his incredible play at Euro 2012 with the Azzurri and, of course, growing that Christ-like beard. :D

95% pass rate yesterday :touched:
How could he not? No English defender would mark him closer than 5 yards all night. So I don't lend too much to that stat.

I'm dumbfounded about how the British media have become such a huge fanboy of him in recent years. It's awesome and unexpected, if not also deserved. But I also fear they are a little too quick to give him praise and credit, and there are a ton of great players laboring outside the EPL that pretty much get dismissed.

give it a few weeks, they will revert back to the 'he's old and washed up' comments again, same happened at euro 2012 after Pirlo gave them a master class then. all the EPL fans were too busy dreaming of wilshite becoming the next Pirlo :howler:

Yep basically it follows this pattern


England are paired up with Italy

Clueless idiots say Pirlo's old, finished, washed up etc etc

The game draws a little closer

"Surely he's not still the same Pirlo"

The game is quite close

"We'll have to keep an eye on Pirlo

...


Just before the game, people watch some clips of recent games

"Pirlo makes them tick, he is a special player"

During the game

Pirlo is GOD. Pirlo is LIFE.

After the game

Pirlo is unstoppable. Pirlo is LYF.

2 months later

He's washed up, he's finished.
