Damn, Balotelli is a douche.

We'd all prefer that, but Prandelli always wants to play with 4 midfielders.

I think I'm the only one who doesn't

At the moment he's given himself a few options with Diamanti, Giovinco and Montolivo. Would keep the top scorer of the team in his role as a forward instead.

Y U MAD KLIN?

 

[Klin]

I hope he won't fuck us up in the Euros.

Ballo is a future MVP of Euro 2012 =)

 

[Salvatore]

It looks like Italy sobers him up whenever he plays, I don't know if that's down to Prandelli handling things well, or because of the personalities in the dressing room (heavy Juve influence).

 

[X Æ A-12]

Well he has only played for Italy maybe 5 or 6 times so far. He hasn't really been tested yet.

 

[Halabalu]

The Euro will be his test. Italy have no other options in attack I guess. Of course if Prandelli is not going to play Catenaccio!!!

I agree with you when you say Montolivo has been pretty decent when playing as AM for Italy, but I still have a soft spot for a true number 10 style player playing in that role.

So are Italy actually going to the Euros or not?

 

[Fred]

Chiellini, Pirlo, Montolivo, Balotelli and Borini to shine.

Giovinco, Cassano and De Rossi to be effective.

I personally don't rate Borini at all. You expect him to shine? That means you expect him to start at least right? Tbh, i don't see him starting for Italy, Balo, Cassano and Di Natale are all much better options.

I like how you sneaked that discreetly.

No. Borini is young, I think he'll be subbed in and when he is put in I think he will do well.

Borini is the only person that could really sub in for Balotelli.

Cassano - Di Natale or a Cassano - Giovinco partnership doesn't really work and because of that I think Borini will get alot of playing time.

Does anyone know if Italy is staying in the Euro's? Is there any probable chance they'll withdraw?

WTF what about the fans?????????

Prandelli: 'If you tell me that it would be better for Italian football not to play at Euro 2012, I would not have a problem with it'

 

[ALC]

Who would go instead of Italy? Switzerland?

Why not?

 

[Bianconero_Aus]

Relax. It's just a guilt trip style comment from Prandelli. Italy will be at Euro 2012.

A mix of Argentinian and Brazilian players will represent Italy at Euro 2012.

 

[ZoSo]

They will send the Italiens.
