[Trequartista]

Maybe, hopefully Klinsmann pulls something out of the hat and destroys Italy.

@Kyle

Like on the 4th of July 2006 in Dortmund?

If its not a draw, Italy will win.

Yes, because this is that very same Italy.

 

[KC17]

USA has never defeated Italy, and have been outscored 33-4 in the games played head to head.

They might salvage a draw, considering Italy is typically dis-interested in friendlies.

 

[JuveJay]

I expect Italy will dominate possession, but the forward line looks a bit light with the absentees, so maybe not a lot of goals.

 

[frick]

No Giaccherini?

 

[Bianconero_Aus]

Oh the irony of all these whining Milan based Azzurri fans cheering on the Azzurri with 7 Juve players in it

They'll be cheering on the ladri!

 

[Alex-444]

fuck Balotteli
forza Bolt

 

[JuveJay]

I thought that was Ogbonna

 

[Ahmed]

this guy takes gloryhunting to a whole new level.

 

[Joe]

Who is that?

 

[Salvatore]

Usain Bolt

 

[Joe]

Usain Bolt

Well that makes sense considering the Forza Bolt comment.

I didn't recognize him, he looks much thinner there. I was going through a checklist in mind. Balotelli? No. Ogbonna? No. Okaka? No.

 

[Holdon]

Probably a Puma PR thing.

 

[Gian]

Buffon
Maggio - Barzagli - Chiellini - Criscito
De Rossi - Pirlo - Marchisio
Montolivo
Giovinco Matri​

That's what should be played. Borini is too young to start, Pazzini is playing like Cack. Giovinco + Matri are performing well and deserve to start.

Prandelli specifically said he'll be playing a trequartista and I believe it'll be Montolivo.

I wonder why Pepe didn't get called up?

at that line-up.

 

[Suns]

Without Giovinco this team has zero creativity in the offensive end of the field.

 

[JuveJay]

I wouldn't mind seeing Marchisio try at trequartista and another CM in the three. It's a nothing game and it looks like the US will be trying a couple of things.

 

[Joe]

Without Giovinco this team has zero creativity in the offensive end of the field.

That's why I think Giovinco will be starting, or at least I hope he will. A Pazzini - Matri offensive duo would be sad.

 

[ALC]

Should've called up Di Natale.

 

[Joe]

I hope to think Prandelli has his reasons not to do so.
