Matri, really? A bench player from Juve -who's scoring record is inferior too- instead of a starter in Bologna who had a good season. I'm not saying Gilardino is the right choice, but I can understand.

The others were in Isreal, so you cannot blame Prandelli for that.

Giaccherini???

thing with Matri is his movement is far superior to Gilardino's. I mean if you want to start comparing who scored more then Rob Holt should have been capped by England a year ago at least and not someone like Andy Carroll

If next season goes well; Rossi, Insigne and Balotelli for the attack next year.

4-3-1-2 with Insigne as trequartista?

I would have preferred either Matri, Quagliarella, or Pazzini over him.

I would rather have Totti behind Balotelli than Montolivio or Aquilani. Di Natale will be called up next year. We have no issues in midfiled and attack, its this 4 man back line and I dont see any one from U21 who is even close to stepping up either.

Totti is a great link for the mids to the forwards. I think he will be back for the WC next year and make a big difference just like he was so huge in 2006.
If he's going to take an oldie I would take Totti over Gilardino everyday of the week and twice on sunday.....

Maybe Prandelli should just call up Paolo Rossi. I think his time has come again.

I would prefer Baggio, he's younger

Totti would be great for the next WC but he would have to miss half a season to stay fresh enough. He was in great form early but seemed to fade badly in the last part of the campaign.

So no De Rossi & now no Pirlo against Brazil. So who's left? Tampon. Still laughing at him being substituted early in the 1st half.

As much as I dislike that little fucker Rossi, he could be very useful for Italy in 2014, especially if he regains form. Rossi, Shawerma, and Balo is a formidable front line.

Insigne - Balotelli - Rossi
Marchisio - Pirlo - De Rossi
De Sciglio - Chiellini - Barzagli - Abate
Buffon​

It's all about Insigne.

 

[Trequartista]

Insigne - Balotelli - Rossi
Marchisio - Pirlo - De Rossi
De Sciglio - Chiellini - Barzagli - Abate
Buffon​

It's all about Insigne.

 

[Quetzalcoatl]

How about Poli as a DM option?

 

[delpiero4life]

The boys looked sooo tired.. Pirlo needed the rest vs brazil anyways so that worked out well.

Italy need a better RB than Abate. Hopefully Donati moves to a good club and gets some solid game time, has potential to be very good.

Aquafag and Olivemount should never play for Italy again. Useless lumps of turd.

Just bring back gattuso. Hes of more use than montolivo and aquabitch combined

Please. Rossi is gonna tear shit up!

Play Chiellini as LB - and defend like a 3-5-2 on counters.

 

[Oz_Bianconero88]

Chiellini @ LB....
May as well play Bonucci at CAM.

 

[Cheesio]

Italy needs Cassano.

 

[Vlad]

Chiellini @ LB....

Indeed. He looks clumsy and offers almost nothing in offense.

Italy needs Cassano.

Let's hope Insigne to step up.
