Those numbers look kinda big.

I think in Gio's case it's some kind of forced perspective

 

[Ahmed]

Italy lineup for USA game (per Prandelli): Buffon; Maggio, Barzagli, Ogbonna, Criscito; Nocerino, Pirlo, Marchisio; Motta; Giovinco, Matri

 

[Fake Melo]

Wow, Gio and Matri huh? I guess Marotta will be watching.

his one eye should remain on Matri.

Strong line up at least Prandelli has a brain.

 

[Gian]

Wait is Motta going to play as a treq behind the strikers?

Thats awful.

 

[Quetzalcoatl]

Italy is gonna have a successful Euro tournament.

 

[Gian]

If Cassano wasn't injured they could.

Without him, I doubt it.

 

[Quetzalcoatl]

One of the, if not the best defence. Pretty good midfield. Nice variety in attack even with Fanantonio.

 

[Ahmed]

Doesnt he normally use a 4-3-3?

 

[Stevie]

Does anyone know if this game will be showed in the UK live or delayed?

 

[Christina]

Motta.....

 

[Joe]

Doesnt he normally use a 4-3-3?

He usually uses a 4-3-1-2.

Buffon
Maggio - Barzagli - Ogbonna - Criscito
Nocerino - Pirlo - Marchisio
Motta
Giovinco - Matri​

Not bad. I was guessing Montolivo would be the Trequartista. Motta scored a goal against Slovenia (I think) so I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.

Yeah, I agree with Gian as well. The Italy NT needs Cassano + Rossi if they want to have any great success this tournament.

 

[ALC]

Ogbonna? Really? Dempsey will turn that mofo inside out.

 

[Joe]

Ogbonna didn't play very well the last time he played for the NT if I remember correctly.

As long as Chiellini stays safe, I don't care if Ogbonna starts. Its just a friendly.

 

[AFL_ITALIA]

I'm all for trying things out in friendlies, but Thiago Motta as a trequartista? I'm very sceptical about that. I feel like Ogbonna's going to suck too.

Get well soon Cassano and Rossi

 

[Joe]

I'm surprised Prandelli didn't opt for Bonucci or Ranocchia?
