yeah, ok.



There's no way Italy makes it out of the group stage, so don't worry.

What? I see them go far, very far.

Yeah bro, I have no idea what the fuck that chart is either...

It's color coded. If you look at the thin colored strip next to each country, it corresponds to which group they are in

 

[Cirillo]

By the way here is the chart for the Euro 2012 match ups ...

WTF is this???

 

[Fint]

Rossi out? Del Piero in

 

[Trequartista]

No Rossi? Well, at least Cassano is back...

 

[Salvatore]

Cassano, Balotelli, Giovinco

And one or two of these. Bottom line being more unlikely to be included imo. I don't think any U21 players will make it.

Matri, Osvaldo, Borini, Pazzini

Quagliarella, Del Piero, Di Natale, Totti, Gilardino

 

[Joe]

Cassano, Balotelli, Quagliarella/Matri, Giovinco, and Borini should be called up.

Pazzini is shit on a bun, and Osvaldo isn't good enough. I can't see DP/Di Natale/Totti or Gila being called up. Well, certainly not DP IMO. Maybe Di Natale.

Buffon
Maggio - Barzagli - Chiellini - Criscito
De Rossi - Pirlo - Marchisio
Montolivo
Cassano - Balotelli​

(5 Bianconeri!)

We need Balo up there, even though he's a nut case - we need him.

 

[Bianconero_Aus]

I have a feeling Prandelli is going to pick Osvaldo :sergio

No Rossi is a huge loss for Italy. He and Cassano struck up a good understanding with each other upfront.

Agreed although I have a feeling Del Piero is gonna make the call

 

[AFL_ITALIA]

Del Piero
Cassano - Quagliarella of the beginning of last season​

This needs to happen.

 

[Joe]

How do you guys think of Giovinco as the trequartista for Italy rather than Montolivo? Monto has had a poor season, its worrying to see him start.

 

[icemaη]

fuck Giovinco

Out of those two I'd rather Giovinco.

 

[Vinny Del Pogba]

Rossi out? Del Piero in

He would make a great super sub. But I don't think he will be called up.

Buffon
Maggio-Barzagli-Chiellini-Criscito
De Rossi-Pirlo-Marchisio
Cassano

Has Cassano even played as a treq during the qualifiers? Thought he played always as a SS?

 

[JuveJay]

Buffon

Barzagli - Bonucci - Chiellini

Maggio - De Rossi - Pirlo - Marchisio - Criscito

Balotelli - Cassano

Buffon

Barzagli - Bonucci - Chiellini

Maggio - De Rossi - Pirlo - Marchisio - Criscito

Balotelli - Cassano​

That is great but I can't see Prandelli using Conte's formation.​

 

[JuveJay]

Maybe not, but Prandelli should try it as an alternative. With the extra class Italy have up front could be deadly.

 

[Bianconero_Aus]

Buffon

Barzagli - Bonucci - Chiellini

Maggio - De Rossi - Pirlo - Marchisio - Criscito

Balotelli - Cassano


Buffon

Maggio - Barzagli - Chiellini - Criscito

De Rossi - Pirlo - Marchisio

Borini - Balotelli - Cassano​

I actually like that 3-5-2 formation better.

---------- Post added 08.05.2012 at 21:46 ----------

And Gian, Cassano didnt play as trequartista for Italy during the qualifiers.

It was mainly Montolivo who played there, also Mauri, Giovinco and Faguilani played there in some friendlies and qualifiers.

I think Prandelli should stick to 4-3-3 instead.
