France are going to have some team once 2016 comes around.

mangala, griezmann, pogba, kongogbia, zouma, verane will be at their best then.

Looks scary on paper. Then they have a dressing room brawl arguing over who has the worst haircut.

The only reason Argentina have a good chance at this WC is because it's held in South America, otherwise they'd be bundled out at the QF as per usual. Besides their amazing attack (best in the tournament) their midfield, defence and goalkeeper stocks are laughable.

What's happened to them producing players on the level of Ayala, Veron, Zanetti in the midfield and defense?

It stopped

Same reason why Spain used to be mediocre but now have some of the best players in the world.

 

[Dostoevsky]

Italy plays against Spain on Wednesday?

Cerci has been called up I think.

Marotta pissed off at Cesar for calling up Chiello.

Is there an international break soon?

why the fuck would he call an injured player to a friendly game... is he stupid or what

 

[AOD4]

We have Criscito, did Prandelli skipped the whole Dortmund - Zenith alltogether. Palleta first call up at the age of 28 shows how thin our defense has been. Not producing any quality defenders.

Nice rugby kit.

 

[Osman]

That will look super awkward on some players, ala lanky ass Montolivo types.

“De Rossi made a mistake with what he did,” Di Livio told Radio Mana Sport. “He got wound up and then he punched someone.
“He was wrong, but Prandelli’s code of ethics is a farce.
“He only enforces it when he wants to. Mr Balotelli has done so much wrong without ever being punished.
“Why these double standards? The code of ethics needs revising.”

 

[Ragazza]

That is true, if the code was enforced every time Balotelli did something stupid, he'd be banned from the national team for life.

 

[JuveJay]

Balotelli does get special dispensation, but that's only because he is retarded. De Rossi is supposed to be an experienced leader and example.

 

[Joe]

Balotelli does stupid little things. I don't remember him punching anyone in the face before a call-up for the National Team?

 

[Ragazza]

I was half-joking anyway, I don't think his exclusion is worth complaining about. Besides, it's a friendly, it's not like he's being excluded from the WC.
